DAEVAR https://www.daevar.de/

DAEVAR are here to shake up the stoner/doom-metal scene with a menacing lo-fi sound and a fresh set ideals. Fronted by the enigmatic Pardis (bass, vocals) and completed by Caspar (guitars) and Moritz (drums), DAEVAR serve up moody anthems inspired by what really happens in the world, rather than singing about the sweetness of the leaf or spreading eternal gloom. The young trio from Cologne have recorded five atmospheric slow-burners at Hidden Planet Studios with Jan Oberg, who oversaw production and helped the band create a deceptively complex sound. Washed in an ocean of crunchy fuzz, Delirious Rites drowns the listener in a raw conflation of gritty textures and exalting melodies.

COLTAINE https://coltaine.bandcamp.com/

Formed by the Berg brothers, Moe and Benedikt, in 2014, Coltaine emerged in the Black Forest of southern Germany. Channeling their emotions into a unique sound, their music blends 70's rock, black metal, and ethereal melodies with powerful rock and metal arrangements. Fronted by the versatile singer, Jules, their atmospheric sound spans from soulful harmonies to the darkest growls. With Amin's relentless drumming, Coltaine's lineup promises an exciting future.

ALLOCHIRIA [GR] https://allochiria.com/

Allochiria is a post-sludge band formed in Athens, Greece in 2008. They have released one EP (2010) and three full-length albums: Omonoia (2014), Throes (Art of Propaganda, 2017) and Commotion (Venerate Industries, 2023). The band has played countless live shows and festivals throughout the years, sharing the stage with bands like Amenra, Social Distortion, Deafheaven, Year of No Light, Altar of Plagues, Toundra, Minsk, Harakiri for the Sky, Deaf Kids, and more. They have played big festivals like Desertfest Athens (2017), Rockstadt Extreme Fest in Romania (2014, 2018) and Rockwave Festival Athens (2022) and have been in three European tours (2015, 2018, 2023). The band is actively booking new shows for the coming months and more tours and festivals will be announced soon. Allochiria’s music is thematic; it revolves around humans as social beings, the corruption that defines them in modern societies, their vain struggles, painful routines and the consequences of their actions in the world around them.

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VAIN TREE https://beesmadehoneyintheveintree.com/

Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree is a Psychedelic / Doom / Shoegaze band from Stuttgart, Germany. Founded in 2014, the contrast between bright and eerie, beautiful and heavy, quickly became an inseparable part of their sound. Their compositions combine crushing Doom riffs with spherical Shogaze, Post- and Psychedelic Rock. Underneath swims a layer of heavily reverberated vocals, that act as an additional instrument but also add a visual layer through the lyrics. In 2017 they released their debut record „Medicine“ (Pink Tank Records), which provides a diverse listening-experience and lays the groundwork for their continually evolving sound. In 2019 they tour in support of their sophomore record „Grandmother“ (Pink Tank Records) on which they expanded their sound through lower tunings, a densely layered use of effects, and faster passages.
