OUR LAST ENEMY: Oliver Fogwell Talks Wacken Warm-Up Party, Amen Cover and Touring

Australian industrial metal outfit Our Last Enemy are set to co-headline the Wacken Open Air Warm-Up Party this Saturday 18th April at Crowbar Sydney, joined by Witchgrinder, with a stacked line-up also featuring Küntsquäd, Shatterface, and Age of Emergence.

The band have also recently released a studio cover of Coma America, originally by punk-metal agitators Amen, recorded as a tribute to late frontman Casey Chaos.

The Everblack Podcast caught up with Oliver Fogwell of Our Last Enemy to talk about the upcoming Sydney show as part of Wacken Open Air’s global 35th anniversary celebrations, as well as the band’s recent tour run alongside Combichrist and Witchgrinder. Fogwell also opened up about the band’s new material in the works, with several unreleased tracks already being tested live on stage, offering fans an early glimpse of what’s to come.

Having already road-tested the song on their recent national tour supporting Combichrist to an overwhelming crowd response, Our Last Enemy decided to capture that energy and release a studio version in the lead-up to their headline appearance at the Wacken Open Air 35 Year Anniversary Show in Sydney, Australia on the 18th April 2026.

The result is a visceral, heartfelt salute that adds the band’s signature industrial edge to an already blistering track, with lyrical themes that are once again uncomfortably current in today’s world.
