Ukrainian band “Machukha”, whose emotionally charged sound blends black metal, hardcore, and punk, will perform in Belgrade on July 31st at “Klub Fest” courtesy of “Nekroskop booking”.
As one of the fastest-rising names in Europe’s underground heavy music scene, “Machukha” has earned widespread acclaim for their visceral live performances and uncompromising artistic vision.
Since making their live debut in late 2023, the band has built an impressive reputation, appearing at prestigious festivals including “Roadburn Festival” in 2026 in the Netherlands, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most influential festivals for underground heavy music and “A Colossal Weekend” in 2025 in Denmark. They have also toured across Europe alongside acclaimed acts “Agriculture” and “Chat Pile”, further cementing their status as one of the most exciting emerging bands in extreme music.
Released in 2024 through “Consouling Sounds”, their debut album “Mochari” explores humanity’s ability to endure unimaginable suffering and continue moving forward. The record combines intricate guitar melodies with the relentless rhythmic force of bass and drums, creating an immersive sonic landscape that guides listeners through carefully crafted emotional states. Performed entirely in Ukrainian, the album has been praised for its raw authenticity and emotional intensity.
Machukha’s music defies easy categorization. Drawing from post-black metal, dark hardcore, and punk, the band crafts songs that shift seamlessly between crushing aggression and haunting atmospheric passages. Vocalist Natalya performs exclusively in her native Ukrainian language, using her voice as a powerful expression of anguish, resilience, and survival. The band’s emotionally charged performances have become a defining characteristic of their live shows, often leaving audiences in complete silence between songs.
Alongside them “Cvat” will perform as local support. “Cvat” is a mathcore postpunk band from Serbia that is known mostly in the underground community.
Only physical tickets are available for the price of 1.500 RSD at Klub Fest, Pivopija bar, Pivski zabavnik and Supertramp bar. Tickets at the door will cost 2.000 RSD.
