Backstage | PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD Gewinner der NEW KIDS IN THE POTT auf dem Rock Hard Festival

Under the banner "New Kids In The Pott," @RockHardMegazine, in cooperation with METAL.DE, the WACKEN FOUNDATION, and @RADIOBOBRockradio, is hosting its first-ever band contest in 2026. On Friday of the festival, melodic death metal band PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD @potrd2025, stoner rock band MAAMUUT, and black metal commando MAJAK will battle it out for the audience's favor. PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD represent metal.de and clearly emerged victorious. We accompanied our band from Saxony-Anhalt under very special circumstances. For the band, the Pentecost weekend wasn't just about the ROCK HARD FESTIVAL, but also drummer Florian Fischer's wedding! 0:00 The battle begins 0:55 The interview 9:07 The winner is PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD | Outro Editor: Marcel Schlensog Camera, Editing & Production: Jens Hecker Music: Prophets Of The Rising Dead - This Pain For Heaven (   • Prophets Of The Rising Dead - This Pain Fo...  ) About PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD Since 2006, PROPHETS OF THE RISING DEAD have stood for modern melodic death metal with clear roots and their own distinctive style. After the album "Discordia" (2019), the quartet from Saxony-Anhalt made an impressive comeback in 2025 with the single "Where The Days Never End"—harder, more modern, and more atmospheric than ever. At the Rock Hard Festival 2026, they will compete as one of the three acts in the "New Kids Of The Pott" contest—with brutal intensity and soaring melodies.
