No mercy. Just riffs.

Crete’s Frenzee are three siblings raised on AC/DC and Bikini Kill, with sister Apollonia spitting fire while brothers Adonis and Nick lock in the tightest punk riff attack you’ll hear all year. Melbourne trio Grim Rhythm crawl up from the muck with greasy, instrumental heavy metal rock ‘n’ roll. Two trios. One night. Brace yourself.

When Deathchant takes the stage, riffs become incantations and volume becomes a force of nature. Drawing from the raw power of classic heavy metal, the mind-expanding reach of psychedelic rock and the relentless momentum of hard rock, the Los Angeles quartet summons a sound that feels both ancient and untamed. Twin guitars spiral skyward. Rhythms thunder beneath your feet. This is music for long-haired wanderers, seekers of the riff and anyone willing to surrender to the gravitational pull of pure amplified energy.

Norwegian stoner doom giants Kal-El bring bass-heavy grooves, downtuned guitars and sci-fi riffcraft straight from Stavanger — think Dozer and Truckfighters launching into deep space. Amsterdam’s Dunebender keep it heavy and strange with sax-laced stoner doom from the lowlands.
