DESCRIPTION:°°°INDUSTRIAL METAL KOMPLETTABRISS°°°\nEinlass: 20
  Uhr\nBeginn: 21 Uhr\n // AK 30€\nMukke:  // // \n\nAfter celebrating 20
  years since the inception of 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥 &
  𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗥 in 2024\, founding composer\, vocalist
  and mechanical engineer Tristan Shone embraces the project’s broadest
  scope to-date with Nocturnal Birding.\nIn addition to the strong and
  poignant messaging contained throughout the music\, lyrics and artwork\,
  Nocturnal Birding sees Tristan Shone synergizing with an array of artists
  from across the globe like never before in his career. From the artwork\,
  meticulously designed by French artist Lucile Lejoly (Chat Pile\,
  Roadburn Festival) to the mixing and mastering by Will Putney (Knocked
  Loose\, Heriot\, Body Count\, Machine Head) to the musical guest
  appearances from France’s Fange\, Indonesia’s Kuntari\, and New York
  City’s Megan Oztrosits of Couch Slut\, these outer creative inputs
  shine throughout the work.\nShone has welcomed collaborators in the
  past\, but guitarist Doug Sabolick (Ecstatic Vision\, Plaque Marks\, A
  Life Once Lost\, etc.) is the first genuine bandmate in AUTHOR & PUNISHER
  contributing creatively on guitar in ways that shape the persona of
  Nocturnal Birding\, complementing Shone in melody and wrought tonal
  heft.\nRemoving himself from an artistic comfort zone proved fruitful
  inspiration. There is literal birdsong all over Nocturnal Birding\, and
  transposing those melodies and rhythms to guitar became the root of the
  material\, representing a rare coming together of the natural world and
  mechanized
  sounds.\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\nSince their formation in 2013 in Brittany\,
  France\, 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 has consistently refined their\nabrasive\,
  genre-defying sound. Initially rooted in sludge\, early albums like Purge
  (2016) and\nPunir (2019) showcased a raw\, unrelenting blend of death
  metal riffs\, noisy textures and\nvisceral vocals. Over time\, the band
  switched to drum machines and amplified their\nnoise/industrial
  influences\, as seen on Pudeur\, Poigne and Pantocrator (all three
  released\nduring the pandemic)\, redefining their own rules of what
  punitive music could be. This\nevolution has been fueled by a mindset of
  permanent reinvention\, merging oppressive wall\nof sounds with eerie\,
  cold melodies —a matured vision reflected in their acclaimed
  later\nworks\, Privation (2023) and Perdition (2024).\nOver the past
  couple of years\, FANGE has embarked on extensive European
  tours\nalongside extreme music mainstays such as Ulcerate\, Imperial
  Triumphant\, and Ken Mode.\nThey've also appeared at renowned festivals
  such as Arctangent\, Motocultor\, or Mystic\nFestival\, performing over
  80 shows across Europe alongside a diverse array of
  heavy\nbands—ranging from shoegaze to metallic hardcore\, noise rock to
  avant-garde extreme\nmetal\, cementing their reputation as a spectacular
  live act. Despite their touring schedule\,\nthe band maintains a prolific
  pace\, channeling their creative effervescence by releasing new\nmaterial
  on an annual
  basis.\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗚 were conceived in the
  German City of Bonn in 2002 and have always been willing to experiment\,
  shift boundaries\, and while always remaining true to their harsh and
  sinister musical core\, the Germans have never stuck to one particular
  musical box while consciously avoiding to become trapped in a stylistic
  pigeon hole. As a result many stickers have been applied to their sound:
  doom\, blackened death metal\, industrial among others. On their new
  album entitled "Der Alte" ("The Old One")\, VALBORG take a rather
  reductionist approach. \nTheir new tracks are deliberately kept short\,
  making use of simple structures\, brutal\, while making use of extreme
  vocals and their trademark lambasting and relentless drum beat. Aided by
  LANTLOS-mastermind Markus Siegenhort\, who took on all production roles\,
  VALBORG have opted for a raw and unpolished sound that relies heavily on
  the guitars as all keyboards have been ditched on this album. Audible
  influences include all of the band's metal aspects but also add elements
  derived from punk and wave for example. The result of this simplification
  process are hard-hitting tracks that still maintain a dark cinematic
  quality and construct threatening nightmare scenarios within cosmic
  dimensions\, which fits the Germans' lyrical themes that \nexplore the
  maddening horrors awaiting in the abyss of outer space\, xenomorphic
  manipulation and apocalyptic visions that are often referring to and
  sometimes taken from the canon of modern science fiction literature. \n
