The first winner of the MetalFrom.NL Tiplist Battle has been announced!
The MetalFrom.NL Tiplist Battle is a new concept they launched earlier this year.
In short: every month, MFNL records the Tiplijst, where they discuss their favorite tracks from the past month. From those, they select a top 2. Then YOU get to vote for which of the two bands you would most like to see perform at Wildman MetalFest.
At the end of three months, we will have three bands, from which Wildman Metal Fest, MFNL, and YOU will make the final selection.
The first band that may still be added to the Wildman Metal Fest lineup this year is:
The Fifth Alliance!
It was an incredibly close battle, as it stayed neck and neck with Shoot The Messiah for a long time.
In the end, The Fifth Alliance won with 59% of the votes!
Next month, a brand-new battle begins!
Is your band releasing a new single, EP, or album this month? Let MetalFrom.nl know! They’ll make sure to include it in the Release Radar, the MFNL Spotify Playlists, and who knows — maybe even in the MetalFrom.nl Tiplist!
The winners of the Wildman Battle voting round :
- Anomic
- The Infamous Nameless
- Baas
- 2Destroy
On behalf of Wildman, we would like to congratulate these bands and are honored to welcome them on May 2, 2026, at NIRWANA in Dronten.
We would also like to sincerely thank all the bands, that didn’t quite make it this time, for registering and for all the promotional effort you put into your own band.
In addition, a huge Thanks to everyone who voted for their favorite band, your support means a lot. If your favorite band isn’t on the list this time, don’t worry, next year there will definitely be a new round and so new opportunities.
