NANOWAR OF STEEL to Release New EP, ‘The Genghis Khan’
s Mikael Sehlin. Filled to the brim with cheesy feet puns and even a growled nursery rhyme, all wrapped in catchy industrial sounds, NANOWAR OF STEEL deliver yet another quirky marvel. But knowing the Italian five-piece, this of course isn’t enough. On their upcoming 27-date tour through Europe, starting on January 9, 2026 and just days after the release of The Genghis Khan EP to End All Genghis Khan EPs, they offer their “Feet & Greet” as a real VIP experience. Divided into the tiers “Cradle of Feet” and “70,000 Tons of Emmental”, the latter including a copy of the EP, this is a chance for fans to lock toes and get closer to their favorite band.
The band stated about “Feet & Greet”: “We always thought feet in the metal scene were underrated, and VIP meet & greet tickets overrated. So to make things even we combined both things, and we wrote a soundtrack for this incredible event – Feet & Greet. We invited our old friend Mikael Sehlin from Amaranthe to scream from the depths of his foot on this song, and we all wish you can sing along with him how many toes your feet have!”
In addition to the catchy hymn “Genghis Khan (The Genghis Khan Song to End All Genghis Khan Songs)” with a feature from Enrico di Lorenzo of Hideous Divinity, NANOWAR OF STEEL also delves into the world of programming languages again with “Kotlin”. Rounding off these three new songs is the previously released single “IRIDE”, finding its home within The Genghis Khan EP to End All Genghis Khan EPs. The physical version of the EP will be a tour edition—mainly sold at merch tables throughout Europe, so fans will need to attend a show if they want to complete their collection. NANOWAR OF STEEL will start their “Across Europe Tour” on January 9, 2026 in Tilburg, playing 27 shows across the continent, before concluding their campaign in Berlin on February 8. Joining them on tour are not only Mongolia’s rising rockers Uuhai but also rotating openers, promising an exceptional live experience.
The band described The Genghis Khan EP to End All Genghis Khan EPs: “The Genghis Khan EP to End all Genghis Khan EPs is an EP dedicated to a historical figure that no one ever wrote songs about, except for Sabaton, Warkings, The Hu, Avantasia, Uuhai, Cavalera Conspiracy, and Iron Maiden. The almost title track tells 97% of the truth about the Mongolian painter, rejected by the Art Academy of Ulaanbataar. The Side B of the EP is dedicated to NANOWAR OF STEEL’s real life: multispectral satellite imagery (“IRIDE”) and JVM languages with out-of-the-box type inference (“Kotlin”).”
