CHAOS BLAST MEATING mit DOPELORD, THRONEHAMMER, HIDAS, ACID MAMMOTH, ENDONOMOS und TONS

In the organizer's words:

The Acts:

DOPELORD released their debut "Magick Rites" in 2012, an album that showcased their love for old heavy rock and proto-metal and which "The Sludgelord" praised for its "huge, unstoppable riffing in every song". 2014's "Black Arts, Riff Worship" & "Weed Cult" was a leap forward in terms of songwriting, and as the band got serious, they began touring in Western Europe. On 2017's critically acclaimed album 'Children of the Haze', the formula for drawn-out psych-sludge spectacles was perfected, as confirmed by The Heavy Chronicles, who proclaimed: "Nothing will ever be the same again. There used to be doom, now there's Dopelord". As if it were a harbinger of the end times, the fourth LP "Sign of the Devil" was released on March 10, 2020, just as the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the planet with terror and called the future of humanity into question. DOPELORD presented an album that was more than ever dedicated to melody and rebellious iconoclasm, characterized by its infectious force and thematic superiority. Worship Metal called "Sign of the Devil" their album of the week and cheered: "A torrent of ear-splitting riffs that crush everything in their path," adding: "Satan would be pleased." DOPELORD were sidelined from their aggressive live activities for two years, releasing the "Reality Dagger" EP in 2021, before setting to work on their boldest statement yet. On October 6, 2023, their fifth album "Songs for Satan" will make the mighty foursome one of the heaviest and best bands in Europe.

THRONEHAMMER are a German-British doom band. THRONEHAMMER have set themselves the goal of making a wide variety of music, but it should always be heavy. The nine epic works on THRONEHAMMER's "Kingslayer" surprise with the band's most versatile material to date, with more power than ever before, with big riffs that unfold to their full potential in every track. Undisguised doom metal ethos meets destruction and impetuous devastation, reminiscences of "Paradise Lost", "Bathory", "Slayer", "Katatonia", "Bolt Thrower", "Amorphis", "Candlemass", "Celtic Frost" and even spurts of post-rock. All of this can be discovered in THRONEHAMMER's new crushingly epic album "Kingslayer". The doom commando around singer Kat has clearly developed further and can even top its predecessor "Incantation Rites". The epic lyrics do the rest, and the vocals are even more versatile than before. Daniel Kaufman (ex "Mindrot", ex "Dystopia", ex "Eyes of Fire", "Destroy Judas") joins the band on vocals for the song "Sacrosanct Grounds". A powerful sound that leaves no questions unanswered plays its part. The album was mastered by Patrick Engel / "Temple Of Disharmony" ("Asphyx", "Candlemass", "Darkthrone", "Tiamat", "Dissection", "Trouble", "Slayer"). The overlong "Kingslayer" contains shades of various genres and yet every track is clearly a THRONEHAMMER track.

The trio HIDAS unleash a dark soundscape that explores the boundaries of doom metal. Florian Bätz (guitar), Richard Noyn (bass) and Christoph Mühlbauer (drums) form a haunting instrumental experience that transports listeners into a captivating world of heaviness. The profound sounds and powerful rhythms of HIDAS promise a unique journey through the abysses of the doom metal genre. Immerse yourself in a sonic adventure without words, where every note tells a dark and leaden story.

ACID MAMMOTH is a doom metal band from Athens, Greece. The band was founded in 2015 by Chris Babalis Jr. (Vocals & Guitars) and Dimosthenis Varikos (Bass), good friends since high school, with a deep love for "Sabbath" and other heavy music. They were quickly joined by their very good friend Marios Louvaris (drums) and Chris Babalis Sr. (guitars), the father of Jr. ACID MAMMOTH is more than just a band of friends. They are a family. In late 2016, the band recorded their self-titled debut album, which they self-released digitally in the fall of 2017. The album was well received and it wasn't long before the band was back in the studio to record their second album "Under Acid Hoof", which was darker, heavier and fuzzier this time. In September 2019, the band signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records, who added the Greek Doomers to their roster after the first listen to the new album. "Under Acid Hoof" was released on January 24, 2020 and was very well received by fans and critics alike. In September 2020, the band took part in a series of split releases from Heavy Psych Sounds Records, the "Doom Sessions". On "Doom Sessions Vol. 2", ACID MAMMOTH teamed up with Sardinian doomers "1782", in an ultra-heavy release that featured three brand new tracks from each band. In late 2020, the band entered the studio and recorded their third album "Caravan", which was released in March 2021 by Heavy Psych Sounds Records, along with the first pressing of their 2017 self-titled debut and two represses of "Under Acid Hoof".

Formed in 2022, ENDONOMOS released their self-titled debut album in the same year, followed by numerous club shows and festivals. Combining the grand melodies of classic doom with the sheer heaviness of slow death metal and elements of other extreme metal subgenres, ENDONOMOS create a mesmerizing blend of dark and menacing riffs and harmonies that range from beautiful to haunting, complemented by the bottomless growls and captivating clean vocals of frontman Lukas Haidinger. Their second album will be released in fall 2024 via Argonauta Records.

After the infamous split album with the almighty "Bongzilla", TONS are back with their third full-length studio album.
"Hashension" consists of 6 heavy reefer songs that express the band's devotion to the Green God. The recipe is the same, but it keeps evolving: a mix of slow and swampy doom/sludge metal with a touch of psychedelic, and the band members' hardcore punk background gives the album a groovy and personal touch throughout.
