Choose Your Path

From your first step to legendary levels of iron and steel: You work your way up, level by level. And the higher the difficulty level, the more exclusive your advantages become. 

At a certain level, you choose your own path:

The Path of Fire

Uncompromising and burning

The Path of Steel

Steadfast and unwavering

The Path of Thunder

Loud and powerful

Here's what you can expect right from the start:

  • Earn points and increase your difficulty level. Even small actions like pre-registering will help you progress. Every point counts.
  • Hellish rewards await. At certain Metal levels, you can even expect rewards – from special merchandise and ticket pre-sale access to discounts and early-bird band information.
