Sun Apr 21 Kalmah & Vreid
Kalmah & Vreid! Metal! Kalmah are death, thrash, speed, black metal and bombastic, joyful, folk-tinged melodic death metal simultaneously stitched together in one glorious and seamless Finnish package. It is a very strong dynamic that showcases a band so fully realized and in such control of their sound, to be able to pull off such musical feats as described above. Kalmah cook up the best kind of satisfying, spit-shined, bread and butter melodic death metal that may have been imitated to hell but only perfected by a chosen few.

Thu Apr 25 Sequence
Midnight Tyrannosaurus & Cromatik
Sequence: Midnight Tyrannosaurus & Cromatik! Dubstep! As far as stage designations go, Midnight Tyrannosaurus is a good one - it's a non sequitur that allows infinite readings. Does this DJ/producer's brand of nostalgic bass music embrace styles and samples that may go extinct without attention? Is it perfect for jammin' during the witching hour? Is it just really loud? All of the above, and more (the moniker actually was inspired by a mushroom trip, go figure).

Sat Apr 27 Hante & Box and the Twins
Hante & Box and the Twins! Indie, Gothic! Hante is a one woman project from Paris, France. Behind the synths, Hélène de Thoury is escaping the reality and facing her fears. Through her cold, synthetic and melancholic music, she reveals herself and offers deep emotions, mixing haunting darkwave and striking electronics. The Cologne-based band Box and the Twins is indeed an odd thing - together with her ex-lover Marc, and her fiancé Mike, artist and trained psychologist Box creates sublime, fallen out of time Music - equally enchanting, disturbing, sparkling songs, a wistful search for meaning and significance of patterns in this universal voidness.

Tue Apr 30 Cattle Decapitation
Cattle Decapitation! Metal! Compromise is not a concept Cattle Decapitation are willing to entertain. Ever. Over the course of nineteen years and six full-lengths, the San Diego quartet have more than proven this, defining themselves as one of the most vital, brutal, and relentless forces in extreme music delivering a volatile, apocalyptic beast that is as hideous as it is compelling. Rather than taking such themes as "humankind's inexhaustible need for resources and explosive population growth have accelerated us towards a future world where we will have either consumed or polluted ourselves out of existence" and applying them to introspective, navel-gazing music they instead weld them onto a soundtrack of all out savagery.
