Infected Rain and Butcher Babies announce co-headline Mutation Phase tour across Europe and the UK

Modern metal powerhouses Infected Rain and Butcher Babies are set to join forces for the explosive Mutation Phase Tour 2026, a massive co-headline run across Europe and the UK. Support will come from Lithuania’s rising modern metal act Black Spikes.

Known for their visceral energy and emotional depth, Infected Rain now step into a rare transitional chapter between albums. As a result, the band is capturing itself mid-mutation and offering fans an unfiltered experience that will not be repeated. In addition, listeners can expect a career-spanning setlist, while at the same time catching glimpses of brand new material. Consequently, this tour marks one of the most unique moments in the band’s history.

Butcher Babies, meanwhile, bring their trademark fusion of thrash, groove, and melodic ferocity. Over the years, their aggressive style and high-octane live shows have set stages ablaze worldwide. Moreover, the band continues to evolve with each release. Therefore, they remain one of the most dynamic forces in modern metal today. At the same time, they prove that their ability to push boundaries has no limits.

Support comes from Lithuania’s Black Spikes, who add even more intensity to the lineup. With their freshly released EP “NIL”, the band has already shown its heavier modern metal sound and striking stage presence. In particular, their reputation for unforgettable live performances makes them a perfect fit for this tour. As such, fans should expect Black Spikes to leave a lasting impression.

In conclusion, this is not just another tour—it is a ritual in motion. For that reason, Infected Rain, Butcher Babies, and Black Spikes together in 2026 promise to deliver an unforgettable modern metal experience.
