However, we’re already spreading our wings towards 2027, as you also can see from the marvelous new artwork (which is just a part of the whole piece, and will be revealed in its entirety later. Shout-out to Costin Chioreanu for this! 🙏🤩).

Update Prog Metal Mania 2.0

After the enthusiastic feedback on our debut, we quickly started to figure out the opportunities for a follow-up in 2026. But as much as we would have loved to go straight into the next edition, there were just too many reasons that spoke against it.

Scar Symmetry closed @progmetalmania.bsky.social with intense growls and clean vocals, plus razor-sharp guitar work by Per Nilsson. A deserved headliner for a thrilling show. #ProgMetalMania #ScarSymmetry

FKÜ’s horror-metal show was loud, wild and a total blast. Not prog, but a must-see act for the crowd at Prog Metal Mania. #ProgMetalMania2025 @progmetalmania.bsky.social
