BANDS
UFOMAMMUT
For more than two decades, UFOMAMMUT has combined the heaviness and majesty of dynamic riff worship with a nuanced understanding of psychedelic tradition and history in music, creating a cosmic, futuristic, and technicolor sound destined for absolute immersion.
The new album Fenice (“phoenix” in Italian) represents endless rebirth and the ability to start again after everything seems doomed. The album (out via Neurot Recordings) is the first recording with new drummer Levre joining Poia and Urlo, marking a new chapter in the band’s history and unveiling a more intimate, free sound for the group. Each oscillation of this extraordinary album feels inevitable. The members of UFOMAMMUT are, after all, masters of their craft, and when it comes to creating enveloping sonic journeys into the unknown, it’s their uninhibited sense of exploration that breaches new sonic ground. Like any good psychedelic trip, the music of Ufomammut has always been inextricably intertwined with visual art. Poia describes longer compositions “like a painting” as if to reinforce the relevance and importance of visual art in Ufomammut’s music.
RAGING SLOTH
Formed in 2018 in Munich, RAGING SLOTH have carved out their own sonic universe — a compelling tension between crushing inertia and frenzied aggression. Drawing inspiration from the "Great Old Ones" of the genre, the trio delivers a sinister blend of oppressive sound walls and relentless, grooveladen riffs.
Alongside numerous shows across Germany and abroad, the band has made a lasting impression with performances alongside acts like AHAB, VALBORG, THRONEHAMMER, and HAERESIS, as well as appearances at notable festivals including Keep It Low Festival 2024, Mammut Festival 2024, and Fury Field Open Air.
In September 2023, RAGING SLOTH released their debut EP The Descent, which received highly positive reviews — including a top rating in the print edition of Guitar Magazine. This was followed by a release tour in 2024, featuring over 20 shows across domestic and international stages.
ZAHN
ZAHN from Berlin have been making waves with their intense, driving sound that echoes the relentless march of a world on the edge. Consisting of Chris Breuer (HEADS., ex–THE OCEAN COLLECTIVE), Nic Stockmann (HEADS., ex–EISENVATER) and Felix Gebhard (MUFF POTTER, live– EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN, live–TOCOTRONIC), ZAHN are exploring new creative territory, regardless of the bands they are known for. Their latest album, Adria, offers a bold escape from everyday life through vivid sonic landscapes that blend Krautrock, Dark Jazz, Noise Rock, PostPunk, Post-Rock and Electronic Music. It takes listeners on an audacious journey through stark, dystopian worlds, drawing comparisons to NEU!, Metz, Swans, The Jesus Lizard, and Tortoise. ZAHN delivers a raw, visceral experience, challenging the status quo without saying a single word.
ZAHN's album ADRIA is among the best in the genres of noise and krautrock. - Musikexpress
ZAHN crafts a compelling blend of Neu!-inspired drums Space Night synths and deep bass. Highly individual yet harmoniously cohesive. - Metal Hammer
ZAHN tells stories without words. The Berlin trio guards the quality, which is often lost in academic loops of repetition by other post-rock bands, like a treasure. – Visions
TONS
Tons formed in 2009 with members of hardcore bands from the 00’s Turin scene (The Redrum, Lama Tematica and NoInfo). Slow and heavy sounds take the place of frenetic HC rhythms; the texts speak about weed in an ironic way, but also about a certain tendency to esotericism that characterizes the city of Turin. In 2010 they recorded a demo and in 2012 their first full length “Musineè Doom Session, Volume 1”, recorded by Danilo “Dano” Battocchio, was released for the Turin-based Escape From Today (EFT050) and for the young Roman label, Heavy Psych Sounds (First non Black Rainbows release, HPS005). In 2013 a split with Lento from Rome came out and Tons began to plow the European venues, opening the stage for bands like Bongzilla, Unsane, Church of Misery, Napalm Death, Pentagram etc ... On 7th October 2022 the band released a brand new album called "Hashension" and a repress for the 10th anniversary of their debut album "Musineè Doom Session, Volume 1" with remastered audio and a new cover artwork. During these years Tons played in many important Festival, such as Desert Fest London and Antwerp, Sonic Blast, Frantic Fest, Venezia Hardcore and HPS Fest.
GALLOWHEAD
Gallowhead’s origin goes back to when the world was midway through the pandemic and was started as a project by people who love all kinds of heavy music. Since then they have released three records - either DIY or with some help from their dear friend at Zanns Records. They’ve played countless shows in various venues all around Europe in countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and France. When the band is asked how they would describe their sound, the answer is usually not an instant one and a bit long-winded, before giving up and saying something along the lines of “music by people who would like to play fast but are only able to play slowly”. A blend of all the bands they love and influence them meets the uncompromising attitude of working hard and playing whatever riff and melody or drum beat they want. For fans of: Sludge, Doom, (Post)-Hardcore, Death Metal, Anti Fascist Black Metal
