DEATH SS - 50 YEARS OF HORROR, MAGIC AND HEAVY METAL!![]()
![]()
In 1977, Steve Sylvester and Paul Chain created something in Italy that was completely their own. Long before horror, occult imagery and theatricality became widespread in Metal, DEATH SS had already built their unique dark universe.![]()
![]()
In 2027, Death SS celebrate 50 YEARS – and we are incredibly proud to celebrate this historic anniversary at KEEP IT TRUE RISING VI!![]()
![]()
Expect a very special show celebrating five decades of one of the most unique and influential cult bands of the European underground.![]()
![]()
And although most people should know this by now, we want to make it absolutely clear: DEATH SS have nothing whatsoever to do with right-wing politics or ideology. The name DEATH SS stands for “Death of Steve Sylvester” and, just like the band's imagery, is part of their world of horror, occultism and theatrical shock. DEATH SS are not and never have been a political band.![]()
![]()
This is exactly what KEEP IT TRUE is about: honoring the pioneers, preserving the history of our music and creating truly special moments.![]()

THE NIGHT ETERNAL – KEEP IT TRUE RISING 2027![]()
![]()
We are very happy to welcome THE NIGHT ETERNAL back to KEEP IT TRUE RISING in 2027!![]()
![]()
This band has a special place in our hearts because we believed in them from very early on. We already booked The Night Eternal for the Hammer And Iron Festival in Essen, and later brought them to the very first KEEP IT TRUE Festival RISING. It has been fantastic to watch their development since those early days and see how far they have come.![]()
![]()
For us, supporting young bands is absolutely essential for the future of our scene. Traditional Heavy Metal cannot live from its glorious past alone. We need a new generation of musicians who understand the spirit of this music, but create something of their own and carry it into the future.![]()
![]()
THE NIGHT ETERNAL are a perfect example of this. They have worked hard, developed their own identity and steadily built a dedicated following. And we strongly believe that THE NIGHT ETERNAL are now about to make their next big step.![]()
![]()
So it feels only right to have them back where part of their journey with us began.![]()
