The band shares about the announcement:
“We’re thrilled to announce our first UK shows in London and Nottingham, alongside RADAR Festival in Manchester and ArcTanGent in Bristol. This will be our UK debut, and you really can’t imagine how excited we are. British music has always been a major influence on us; we grew up on rock ‘n’ roll, and it’s incredible to finally play where so many of our idols made – and are making – their mark.”
Benthos released their sophomore album “From Nothing” last year in April with InsideOutMusic, including the singles “As A Cordyceps”, “Pure”, “Fossil” and “Let Me Plunge”.

About Benthos
From Milan, Italy, Benthos are an experimental progressive metal band blending modern prog, mathcore, and psychedelia. Defined by Metal Hammer as “The Italian prog metal merchants questioning the universe”, their music twists between chaos and control, moving from delicate, jazz-tinged passages to raw, intense climaxes while exploring existential themes. Heavy yet fluid, dissonant yet melodic, Benthos thrive in contrast.
That intensity carries live. Benthos have established themselves as a compelling act in modern progressive music, pairing technical mastery with raw physical energy. Their 2025 European shows supporting Between The Buried And Me won over audiences night after night, culminating in a breakout performance at Euroblast Festival that cemented their reputation as a band to watch.
Their debut album II (Eclipse Records, 2021) introduced their adventurous and alluring blend of chaotic catharsis. With From Nothing (Inside Out Music, 2025), Benthos fully come into focus: more expansive and self-assured, the record refines their extremes into a cohesive, forward-thinking statement that won over audiences and critics alike, earning a spot in Loudwire’s Top 11 Prog Metal Albums of 2025 and placing them among the most innovative voices in modern progressive music.
