After announcing that VMO aka Violent Magic Orchestra would be performing at the 2024 edition of Roskilde festival, it was a matter of time to find out what other plans this five-piece group has for Europe. First of all, the long-awaited second album DEATH RAVE was released, and with this release in their pocket, they can soon be seen in Europe for various performances.

First they will join Australian artist Zheani for several shows in Germany and after that they will go all-out in Poland, Spain, France, the UK, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Italy, Denmark and Sweden.

The group manages to merge overwhelming electronica-induced black metal and noise with an interesting live show featuring strobes, disturbing visuals and live dancers. Another description of Violent Magic Orchestra is live black metal meets Kraftwerk.
