Spineshank + (hed) P.E.

Los Angeles-based industrial metal masters SPINESHANK and the wild groove-driven band (HED) P.E. from Huntington Beach are coming to Stuttgart: On October 20, these two legends of crossover and nu-metal will grace Im Wizemann with a double-headlining show.

Known for their fusion of industrial metal, alternative metal, and nu-metal elements, SPINESHANK rose to prominence in the early 2000s as part of the emerging wave of heavy music influenced by electronic textures and aggressive rhythms. With their emotionally charged compositions—which combined heavy riffs, electronic undertones, and introspective lyrics into a distinctive, timeless sound—the band left a lasting impression on the metal scene. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking album “The Height of Callousness,” SPINESHANK are now returning after a long hiatus.

(HED) P.E. from Southern California were always known for their raw, brutal honesty, their risqué lyrics, and their often over-the-top sense of humor. During their rise in the midst of the nu-metal scene, their shows were a massive middle finger to the commercial rock that dominated the radio stations in the early 2000s. (HED) P.E. are the pioneers of the G-Punk sound, which blends punk rock, metal, hip-hop, and reggae.
