Hellripper

Schizophrenia brings its death/thrash forged in Antwerp to Pumpehuset in Copenhagen on April 9, 2026. The Belgian band shapes a direct, fast approach built on sharp, tightly wound riffs, abrasive vocals and tight rhythms, drawing clearly from the late-80s/early-90s school. After cutting its teeth across local scenes and European clubs, the group set its foundations with the 2020 EP Voices, outlining a sound that balances frontal thrash with a darker undertow and a constant sense of tension.

In 2022, Recollections of the Insane pushed the writing further: still brisk and high-tempo, but with more developed structures and marked contrasts between breakneck passages and heavier, weightier sections. On stage, that balance guides the set, with quick shifts, compact arrangements and riff-led momentum taking center stage. The lineup’s steady core keeps everything locked, letting the guitars carry the narrative without unnecessary ornament. For this Copenhagen date, Schizophrenia leans into that no-frills approach, delivering a focused run through their material shaped for a room like Pumpehuset and the kind of crowd that comes for speed, tightness and a darker edge.
