NECROWRETCH to Take “Swords of Dajjal” on European Tour
Necrowretch Take Dajjal’s Swords Onstage
French extreme metal band NECROWRETCH have announced a seven-date European run with Icelandic MISÞYRMING. Taking place from October 10 to 16 as part of the “All Worlds in Decay Tour 2026,” the shows will also feature French PROFANATION and Italian GORRCH.
The seven-show itinerary will begin in Belgium before moving through Germany, Sweden and Poland. On the German leg, NECROWRETCH will perform at Helvete in Oberhausen on October 11, Club From Hell in Erfurt on October 13, and Club Pushkin in Dresden on October 14.
The band's live lineup features Vlad on vocals and rhythm guitar, W. Cadaver on lead guitar, R. Cadaver on bass, and N. Destroyer on drums. NECROWRETCH have previously toured clubs alongside IMPIETY and CEMETERY URN, in addition to performing in Asia in 2018, appearing at Hellfest in 2022, and taking the stage at Nox Occultum in Tilburg in September 2025.
The tour's setlist will draw heavily from the band's fifth studio album, “Swords of Dajjal.” Released through Season of Mist on February 2, 2024, the album sharpened NECROWRETCH's black metal focus while retaining elements rooted in the band's death metal background.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Francis Caste at Studio Sainte Marthe in Paris, the album features eight tracks. “Swords of Dajjal” builds its narrative around Dajjal, the false messiah of Islamic eschatology, while also drawing on North African and Middle Eastern mythology. The album is said to be the result of three years of work.
In that sense, the European tour represents more than a new run of live dates, bringing the “Swords of Dajjal” era to the stage as well.

The tour will begin at The Cluck Factory in Zulte on October 10 and conclude at 2Progi in Poznań on October 16.
