A technical death comedy – photo report from Archspire’s Barcelona show

Author Daniel Escobar - 12.11.2026

Archspire. One of the most beloved bands from the metal universe made their appearence in Barcelona last weekend. Alongside one of the referents of new-wave deathcore Crown Magnetar, The Zenith Passage with their technical riffs and the only European representation, coming all the way from Portugal, slam-deathcore Analepsy. The Canadians made the night become brutal – and funny at the same time – to the almost-sold out Salamandra venue located at the outskirts of Barcelona.

These are some of the best moments that each band brought to their second out of three appearances at the Iberian Peninsula.
