Ultra Vomit

Ultra Vomit arrives at the Zénith de Pau on 3 October 2026. The Nantes-based quartet, now a touchstone of parody metal, carefully subverts the genre’s conventions and twists them in its own way. On stage, razor-sharp riffs, anthemic choruses and tempo changes follow one another, from an old-school heavy nod to grindcore or death-metal pastiches, with punk detours and pop-culture references along the way. Double-layered lyrics, wordplay, sonic hijinks and disorienting transitions are part of the picture, all delivered with the blend of energy and self-mockery that defines the band.

Having played Hellfest, Download and Motocultor, Ultra Vomit has honed a set that is both tight and playful, able to switch from a furious blast to a chorus sung back by the crowd in an instant. The band relies on collective efficiency—shouted slogans, absurd breaks—to turn each song into a participatory moment. In Pau, you’ll find that mix of heavy sound, mischievous spirit and shared references: a date for anyone who enjoys metal that looks itself in the mirror and has a laugh at its own codes.
