  𝗠𝗔𝗡 (𝗨𝗦) return with their most crushing album to date\,
  Observance. After twelve years at the forefront of underground music\,
  PRIMITIVE MAN takes merciless aim at the plentiful ills that besiege the
  world around them\, and in the process of doing so do not spare
  themselves from their flagellating tongue-lashings.\nWith motifs and
  symbols recurring throughout the lyrics and artwork (also created by
  McCarthy)\, and drawing influence from the work of Tongo Eisen-Martin -
  specifically Blood on the Fog - McCarthy doesn’t offer answers\, he
  only seeks to share his experiences. Personal and professional pitfalls
  are explored against the backdrop of a broken social contract that is
  decimating the lives of working class citizens. While party politics
  dominate the media\, a more insidious divide preoccupies McCarthy as he
  is haunted by techno feudalism and the future of human rights and social
  unrest.\nWhilst McCarthy’s lyrics are a dominant presence throughout
  Observance\, the six songs that make up the album are a truly
  collaborative effort written and arranged with absolute devotion. Drummer
  Joe Linden\, bassist Jon Campos and McCarthy threw themselves into
  writing shortly after the release of 2022’s Insurmountable EP.
  Committing to the task at hand\, the trio describe themselves as
  “obsessed” during the genesis of Observance\; the intricacies of
  shaping their evolving\, trance-inducing sound became
  all-consuming.\nDespite leaning into their more experimental side\,
  PRIMITIVE MAN maintain a tight grip on the heavy sound that has defined
  them for years. Observance is still a challenging record\, demanding the
  listener’s attention at every turn. The sound of Observance is imbued
  with a new element for the band - sadness. Yet McCarthy describes this as
  the most positive PRIMITIVE MAN record to date\; even as they pick over
  the carcass of disillusionment they still seek a way out\, a path towards
  the light.  Observance was recorded and mixed throughout February and
  March 2025\, at Bricktop Recording Studio in Chicago with producer Andy
  Nelson\, before being mastered by Arthur
  Rizk.\n𝗞𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗣𝗦 (𝗔𝗨) is an Australian
  post-industrial project whose history is inseparable from violence—both
  as subject matter and as physical methodology. Formed on the periphery of
  collapse and personal disintegration\, the project has cultivated a
  reputation for performances that are confrontational\, ascetic\, and
  unwavering in their commitment to realism. The band has recently
  relocated to Iceland\, a move that reflects its ongoing pursuit of
  isolation\, severity\, and a more unforgiving creative environment.\nThe
  live apparatus centres on a set of morgue-derived instruments and
  implements: blood- and saliva-stained headrests\, knee pins\, hacksaws\,
  throat expanders\, and other devices once used to manipulate\, open\, and
  restrain the human body. These objects are not symbolic. They function as
  percussive tools and structural components in performance\, carrying the
  residue of their original purpose into the project’s sonic
  architecture.\nSince its inception\, Kollaps has maintained a relentless
  touring history across Europe and beyond\, appearing at major festivals
  including Roskilde\, Roadburn\, Wave-Gotik-Treffen\, Soulcrusher\, and
  other significant institutions within the industrial\, experimental\, and
  extreme-music circuits. On stage\, Kollaps operates less as a traditional
  band than as an apparatus of tension and rupture\, constructing
  compositions from metal fatigue\, concrete pressure\, ruptured
  electronics\, and recurring motifs of decay.\nKollaps represents a form
  of post-industrial music that rejects nostalgia in favour of excavation:
  unearthing the mechanical\, the biological\, and the violated. It is a
  documentation of harm\, endurance\, and the machinery of the
  body—ultimately\, a study of disappearance and the residue left behind
  when civility is stripped away.\n𝗣𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗛𝗨
  (𝗜𝗦) was formed in 2022 and is is a black/doom metal act that
  consists of veteran members of the Icelandic metal scene. Each of the
  three members have been part of various black\, death & doom metal bands
  over the years\, and came together as Pthumulhu because of their shared
  urge to conjure up something even heavier than previous
  projects.\nPthumulhu recently released their debut album „Tungumál
  Svarthola“ (the language of black holes) which is a terrifying journey
  of doom throughout the cosmos\, mixed by the frontman of legendary
  Icelandic black metal band Misþyrming.\nThe obscure trio embarked on
  their first tour in July 2024 in the UK and are ready to unleash their
  sonic punishment in other lands.
