Suicide Commando revisits debut album on new EP 'Final Stage'
Belgian electro-industrial act Suicide Commando will release a new EP titled “Final Stage” on July 18, 2025 via Out Of Line Music. The EP will be available as a limited edition CD and red transparent vinyl.
The release marks a return to the project’s early roots, with frontman Johan Van Roy calling it “back to the essence, back to the core! No compromises, no frills, no stupid fashion show…”
The six-track EP features five reinterpretations of songs originally released on the 1994 debut album “Critical Stage”. According to the label, these are not standard remixes but “full-scale modern reinterpretations.” The EP also includes a new track, “De weg”, which is notable for being the first Suicide Commando song performed in Van Roy’s native Dutch. “De weg” will be released ahead of the EP on June 5, 2025.
Tracklist for “Final Stage” EP:
- Where Do We Go From Here? [Final Stage]
- H.I.V.+ [Disease Disease]
- Traumatize [Shaking 2025]
- Fate [Death is Coming… Again!]
- Necrophilia [Body to Body]
- De weg
The EP follows earlier work including the 2025 reissue of “The Pain That You Like” featuring Jean-Luc De Meyer.

About Suicide Commando
Suicide Commando was founded in 1986 by Johan Van Roy in Leopoldsburg, Belgium. Initially self-released on tape, the project quickly became a cornerstone of the electro-industrial scene.
After signing with Off Beat in the mid-1990s, Van Roy released “Critical Stage” in 1994, followed by albums such as “Stored Images” (1995) and “Mindstrip” (2000), the latter via Dependent Records.
Later releases like “Bind, Torture, Kill” (2006), “When Evil Speaks” (2013), and “Forest of the Impaled” (2017) solidified the project’s fame.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
