Hatebreed Headlines Alcatraz’s 20th Anniversary Club Night at De Brielpoort, Deinze
**An intimate evening of hardcore fury celebrating two decades of Alcatraz — with Mantah and Træls in support.**
—
On **21 November 2026**, the Belgian metal community gets something rare: a proper club show with a genuine heavyweight at the top of the bill, and a story worth telling behind it. Exactly twenty years ago, the Alcatraz organisation threw its very first event at **De Brielpoort** in Deinze. To mark that milestone, they’re coming home — not with a festival but with a focused, no-frills celebration of what heavy music in a small room actually feels like.
The headliner needs no introduction. **Hatebreed** (🇺🇸) are Connecticut hardcore royalty, a band that has spent three decades proving that sheer intensity and conviction never go out of fashion. Jamey Jasta and his crew arrive at Deinze as part of their wider *East Coast Assault on Europe* tour, but this particular date carries extra weight — a sold-out hometown-style setting, a limited capacity, and an audience that knows every word. No arenas, no bullshit. Just walls of death, circle pits, and Jasta screaming straight into your chest.
The timing is sharp too: Hatebreed recently signed to **BLKIIBLK Records** and are set to unleash their ninth studio album this autumn. Expect new material to hit hard on the night.

## Support Acts
### Mantah (🇧🇪) — Nu Metal / Modern Metal
From West-Flanders, **Mantah** have been carving out their niche in the Belgian metal scene since 2022, blending the raw groove of 90s nu-metal with a modern, punishing production. Influenced by Korn, Linkin Park, and Slipknot, their music hits that sweet spot between pit-ready aggression and hook-driven melody. Their 2025 album *ANTIDOTE* on Polderrecords pushed them firmly into the spotlight — and a support slot for Hatebreed is exactly the kind of stage they were built for.
### Træls (🇧🇪) — Progressive Post-Metal
A four-piece from Belgium with veterans from In-Quest, Spoil Engine, and Dedicted in the ranks, **Træls** operate in a different but complementary register — weaving intricate melodies, dynamic rhythms, and emotionally charged energy into progressive post-metal that doesn’t just hit, it *lingers*. Their 2024 debut *The Abyss Within* turned heads at ProgPower Europe 2025 and beyond. Expect atmosphere, tension, and the kind of craftsmanship that makes a support slot memorable.
