In the organizer's words:

black metal | hc punk | heavy psych-doom | sludge | progressive metal | grunge | stoner doom

Berlin indie label The Lasting Dose Records is throwing a big party for all fans of gnarly, noisy, loud, spherical and genre-busting guitar music. The line-up includes GRIN, ULTRABLUT, CAFFEINE and DAEVAR.

Ultrablut

After finding their zen on their EP "Tenerife" in 2024, Ultrablut are now surfing through a world that has gone completely mad and where no pills work anymore on their debut album "Tja". Sometimes on the hunt, sometimes on the run, Ultrablut croak, drag and grumble their way through stalactite caves in which the patriarchy scrawled the last swastikas on the wall before smashing into a wall unbuckled in a Tesla Cybertruck, sounding as if Ari Aster had staged a hardcore show with the Beach Boys. Well. That was a given.

GRIN

With Acid Gods heavy psych-doom outft GRIN re-establish their unique position on the intersection between modern sludge and stoner doom metal. The intensity of the riffs, the boldness of the vocals, the heaviness of the bass and the detailed crunch of the production. Every GRIN album will have you wondering if this band can get any heavier (or better) and the answer is always YES!

CAFFEINE

Sometimes all you need is a smack in the face to kickstart your day and CAFFEINE is all there for it! With deep roots in the German hardcore scene the music of CAFFEINE is surrounded by an undeniable aura of energy and experience which shows in their artful merger of progressive sludge metal with elements of witch house and psychedelic rock. Their latest album The Threshold takes cues from Mastodon and High On Fire, and artfully mixes them with lo-fi witch house and psychedelic rock. A high-energy tornado that will have your pupils dilated and your head spinning!

Daevar

Deavar, the Cologne-based trio, kicked off 2025 with their third album, SUB ROSA, evolving their Doom Grunge sound with melodic uptempo bursts and lo-fi textures. Never slowing down in their musical output and live performances, Daevar continues to redefine their sound in the socalled pocket of Doom Grunge. With SUB ROSA, the trio expands their cloudy lo-fi soundscape with fresh invigorating uptempo bursts and bountiful, melodic songwriting. Building on their previous releases, they capture the raw energy of the 2020s with intense and rat-drenched riffs, unapologetic lyrics, and a relentless DIY spirit.
