FORCE is a glam hard rock band from Melipilla and Santiago, Chile, founded by Laureano Starboy and Camila Sulwacker, together with bassist Hans Beyer. Their sound fuses 80s hard rock, heavy riffs, retrowave synths, and raw, classic-style vocals.
In 2025, they released their debut single “Shine Like Me, B#tch!” followed by “SPEED” — both building toward their first LP, slated for 2026. Despite being active for only six months, FORCE won over jury and crowd alike at their national heat. In 2026, the band will also serve as the official opening act for HALESTORM in Chile.
FORCE took the Wacken Metal Battle 2026 crown on the WET Stage at Wacken Open Air on 1 Aug 2026 — global champion of that edition, chosen from the winners of national finals around the world.
