The women of steampunk metal band FATE GEAR are returning to Europe in September for a three-day tour, featuring their first-ever performance in Italy as the highlight. The tour, entitled Frozen Abyss Tour 2026, kicks off in Milan, stops in Lucerne, Switzerland, and concludes in Germany with a show in Cologne.

FATE GEAR have indicated that they will be performing their new songs during this short European tour. It appears that this short tour stands as it is and that no further dates will be added; should this change, then we will provide an update.

Last year, the metal band celebrated their tenth anniversary with a world tour, including European shows, which concluded in Japan at the start of this year. In May, they will tour Japan with the Australian symphonic metal band ANA, with performances in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. In terms of music releases, FATE GEAR released their very first compilation album at the end of 2025 to celebrate the steampunk metal band’s tenth anniversary, entitled BEST – Angelic Melodies.

Their latest release has just been released, an EP titled 冥王と慈愛の天使 (When the Angel Fell for the Devil). The EP is filled with symphonic death/black metal songs, and on one track, Captain Mina takes the microphone for death growls. Guest vocalists on this release are Rie Tanaka, KOKOMI, and Hime Hashimura.
