IGORRR 

With 2017's Savage Sinusoid, Igorrr more than proved to be a truly unique musical force - and 2020's Spirituality And Distortion cements that well-earned reputation. Slamming together disparate musical styles ranging from death and black metal to breakcore, Balkan, baroque and classical music in a manner that is as unconventional and unpredictable as it is thrilling, Igorrr are unlike any other act, and Spirituality And Distortion displays just as broad a range of emotions as sounds. 

 LYSISTRATA

Nothing can stand in the way of such an outpouring of energy, enthusiasm and creativity. Coming from radical musical backgrounds, Lysistrata manage to transcend the usual posthardcore, noise-rock labels with as much spontaneity as skill. The trio's electric assaults are irresistible to anyone and their nerve-wracking music appears as a sonic blessing, especially live where it reaches an almost miraculous intensity. A well known experiment undertaken by Benjamin Franklin at great personal risk, was to cause lightning to strike a kite in order to demonstrate its electrical nature. The essence of Lysistrata is found in this attempt to subdue an elemental force. This effort is characterised by candour, ambition, and the eventual mythization of the narrative. With a brave paradigm shift, Lysistrata revisit genres from before their time: Asymmetry, dissonance, and the loud/quiet writing codified by Sonic Youth and co. are combined by Ben Amos Cooper (drums, vocals), Theo Guéneau (guitar), and Max Roy (bass) with a sensitivity that is characteristic of their youth. This is expressed right down to the band's name, which was taken from an Aristophanes comedy rather than a DIY & home improvements catalogue.

ATOMIC ROCKET SEEDERS 

Atomic Rocket Seeders is a trio based in Luxembourg. A description most suiting of the band would read: Three music cracks put their broad musical roots ranging from Metal over Blues to Jazz and Hard Rock into one eclectic mix and rebrand said influences with a thunderous modern metal sound. ARS’s unpredictable writing style found in alternative bands of the likes of Incubus and Queens Of The Stone Age always keeps listeners on their toes. While the lyrics mainly focus on social criticism, other tracks ease up and lure with stories about more emotional aspects in life, like.. hardcore sex. Focusing on interesting song writing and energetic live performances, the act won several national contests and secured its place at the legendary WACKEN OPEN AIR Metal festival in Germany and as the support act for LIMP BIZKIT and JOLLY. ARS released their self-titled debut album on October 30th, 2020.
