Guca Meets Wacken - Balkan Metal Announces Vinyl Debut

When the Serbian trumpet capital meets the power of a legendary metal festival, something entirely new is born: Guca Meets Wacken call their sound Balkan Metal. With their debut album "Here Comes The Horny Future" (Digital: March 6, 2026 | Vinyl: March 22, 2026), the Berlin-based band fuses analog Balkan brass with distorted guitars and real drums -- raw, danceable, and anthemic.

The name says it all: Guca stands for the world-famous trumpet festival, where hundreds of thousands of fans lose themselves in brass storms, rakija, and pure ecstasy. Wacken Open Air is synonymous with "Metal Forever." The band's sound stretches boldly between these two worlds -- no AI, no samples, everything played by hand.

Frontman Tim Tom Thomas, also guitarist of Knorkator, leads through ten tracks in English, Italian, and Romani. Six original compositions meet powerful reinterpretations, including "Lola" by The Kinks and "Ederlezi" by Goran Bregovic.

The title track "Here Comes The Horny Future" already earned the band a main stage performance in Guca in front of 15,000 brass music fans. "Rammhornz" unites massive horn sections with crushing guitar riffs, while "Ederlezi" reveals the emotional depth of Balkan Metal.

Balkan brass meets metal riffs. No compromises. Metal Forever.
