JUNIUS (US)
Junius is a post-metal band that has consistently pushed the boundaries of genre conventions, crafting a unique sonic landscape that seamlessly blends elements of post-rock, post-metal, post punk and shoegaze. The band's ethereal soundscapes, haunting melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim over the years.
After almost 2 decades, Junius has now expanded into a 5-piece juggernaut with founders Joseph E. Martinez and Dana Filloon joined by three new members: Orion Wainer (Constants, Tombs), Matthew Vincenty (Glacier), and Eoghan McCarthy(Circus Trees). The Junius wall of sound is even more mountainous as a 5 piece.
Junius is currently working on their highly anticipated fourth full-length album. Lead singer/songwriter Joseph E. Martinez comments "This album has been the hardest one to write, since I have no concept to follow, just a feel that i'm chasing after. I've given myself some boundaries as well, only guitar effects, no synth and no lyrical concept, also the arrangement and parts have to be played all live. no stacking of impossible to play guitar parts, which should help the recording process lean towards a more sonically clear recording."
Junius are also on the verge of returning to Europe after almost a decade-long hiatus. Patient European fans will finally have the chance to witness Junius' mesmerizing live performances and hear songs from their album "Eternal Ritual for the Accretion of Light."
With a history of critically acclaimed albums like "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist," "Reports from the Threshold of Death" and "Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light," Junius remains a force to be reckoned with in the post-metal landscape. As they embark on this exciting new chapter, the band's dedication to artistic evolution and the creation of profound, emotive music ensures that Junius will continue to captivate audiences around the world for years to come.
EDYAKARAN (IT)
Il progetto artistico “Edyakaran” vuole raccontare il tempo evolutivo umano. La nostra musica vuol essere una celebrazione dell'evoluzione umana e con essa esploriamo e concettualizziamo ciò che era, ciò che è e come è divenuto. Ogni nostra performance (dal vivo o in studio) è atta a liberare il racconto del tempo racchiuso nelle note.
Il nostro primo album si intitola “Pantheon” è stato pubblicato a marzo 2025 da My Kingdom Music ed è composto da 10 tracce per un totale di 45 minuti. Ci sono 5 tracce principali, ognuna di esse anticipata da un interludio (chiamato Passo).
L'opera narra di come le interazioni primordiali (Amore, Caccia, Guerra, Arte) si siano trasformate da semplici istinti ad emozioni, divenendo in alcuni casi, autodistruttive.
Si parte dalla presa di coscienza dell'Uomo (Alfa) che passo dopo passo si evolve da semplice animale, dominato da istinti, ad essere umano invece legato ad emozioni pure, quasi spirituali a completamento di ciò che è (Omega).
Curriculum musicale dei membri:
Lorenzo Rinaldi, Francesco Paparella e Antonio Ricco provengono dal gruppo “In Tormentata Quiete” (genere progressive avant-garde metal) con il quale hanno pubblicato 5 album, 1 EP e 1 singolo.
Matteo Meli proviene invece dal gruppo “Batsalsa Experience” (genere post-punk) ancora attivo, col quale ha pubblicato 2 album.

WORMROT (SINGAPORE)
Wormrot is a Singaporean grindcore band formed in 2007, immediately after the founding members had completed their mandatory two years of National Service. The band was discovered in late December 2009 by Digby Pearson, the owner of record label Earache, in a mix tape posted on the Invisible Oranges blog.
After hearing the song "Born Stupid" on the compilation, Pearson searched out and downloaded Wormrot's full-length debut, Abuse, from file-sharing site MediaFire. Pearson was impressed with the album's quality and the band's "ambition, hard work ethic, and willingness to put Singapore and Asian grindcore in the global map."
GRUMO (IT)
GRUMO (“Clot”, “Gore”) is a grindcore band formed in 2004 in Modena (Italy), when Riki (vocals) and Nico (drums) got together. At the beginning, the sound was inspired by bands like Anal Cunt and early Cripple Bastards, with tracks often under 40 sec. The purpose was to play pure noisecore. During the years, the band has played many gigs and festivals (Porco Dio Fest, September to Dismember 3th, Roma A-Bestial Fest), supporting both Italian (Cripple Bastards, Dysmorfic, Repulsione, Jesus Ain’t in Poland…) and international bands (Holocausto Canibal, D-Compose, Sakatat, Social Chaos, Yack, Captain Cleanoff, Sete Star Sept). Although the first 8 years were characterized by few line-up changes, 2012 marked a significant turning point: the first record, Voglio Vederti Sprofondare (“I Want to See You Sink”), was released through independent labels and a new guitarist (Simmi) and a new bass player (Marco) joined the band. Grumo finally find a more personal sound and plays grindcore combined with elements of death metal. Furthermore, a split with Ebola was released on 7”. After two years of hard work "Fallimento" is out in October 2015, the 2nd official full leght of the band and the first to be released by a single label: ETN Records from italy. With this new effort the band is ready to let itself known outside of its national boundary (european tour in September 2015) , faithfulness to its underground origins, spreading desease and noise as usual! Feel the stench of human garbage, Freaks united in gore!!! 2015, Grumo Crew.

SPIRITUAL CRAMP (US)
Gli Spiritual Cramp nascono dall’idea di vivere seguendo il mantra di Mirror In The Bathroom degli English Beat. Sono il risultato di un'ossessione per Mick Jones (il migliore dei Clash) e di uno sguardo troppo prolungato sui Rude Boys. Se Tony Manero e Richard Ashcroft si scontrassero camminando a testa alta senza voler cedere il passo, e poi finissero per baciarsi con passione, quello sarebbe il suono degli Spiritual Cramp.
Ma se chiedi direttamente alla band, si descriveranno semplicemente come un gruppo punk. La loro musica? «Accordi veloci in giù. Upstrokes. Reggae. Produzione hip hop. Live show esplosivo. Ferocia, ma contenuta, su amplificatori piccoli». E tutto questo suona giusto, specialmente quando citano come influenze Tom Tom Club e The Strokes. Perché se c'è una cosa certa, è che gli Spiritual Cramp sono una dance band. Come lo erano The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, i primi Kaiser Chiefs, Turnstile e Murder City Devils.
Dal 2016 gli Spiritual Cramp hanno riportato in auge i cori gang-style e le impennate sui motorini nei parcheggi. Stilosi, carismatici e consapevoli che senza lo show, lo show business è solo un affare triste. Il loro album omonimo dà nuova linfa a quella tradizione di rock & roll sporco e sincero che parte dai The Standells, passa per il punk del '77 e arriva fino a Supergrass, Algiers e Chubby and The Gang.
Gli Spiritual Cramp sono Michael Bingham (voce), Michael Fenton (basso), Jose Luna (percussioni), Jacob Breeze e Nate Punty (chitarre), Julian Smith (batteria). Il loro album di debutto è stato prodotto da Bingham e Fenton, con il supporto di Carlos De La Garza (M83, Paramore, Best Coast, The Linda Lindas) e mixato da Dave Collins.

GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE (JP)
GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE are from Tokyo, formed in 2001 after the breakup of the grindcore band 'No Rest For The Dead'. Searching for new musical horizons 'A' (drums) and 'Dead K' (guitar, vocals) went different ways for a while but came together again to build up a new band. 'Benjian' (bass) completed the first classic trio line-up which then was into jam sessions musically oriented at playing progressive rock with the emphasis on psychedelic and space.
The band released the 7'' production 'The Shape Of Rock To Come' (2001) and the full album 'Birth Of The Neo Trip' (2002) on their own label Ancient Records representing a special blend of space and jazz rock. This received good reviews from Japanese and American magazines. 2003 saw bassist 'Benjian' replaced by 'T'. The same year they went to USA to produce a new album but the work could not be completed. So they kept recording for themselves after going back to Tokyo. Finally it was finished at the end of June containing five well-elaborated songs. 'He's Crying Look' got to be the first album for Beta-lactam Ring Records - released in 2004 on compact disc as well as on double vinyl.
The band continued touring USA/Canada for several times and produced the next full album 'City Calls Revolution' - released end of May 2005. As for the next year two new EPs saw the light of day before they lost bass player 'T' in 2007. GMFTTO went to sleep then for an indefinite period only interrupted by the official announcement that new band mate 'Margarette H' was found in the summer of 2008.
GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE offers excellent space and heavy psychedelic rock and can be rated on the same level as other Japanese acts like 'Acid Mothers Temple' and 'Flower Travelin' Band'.
LOVE GANG (US)
Love Gang is a rock ’n roll band based out of Denver, Colorado. Formed in 2015, Love Gang is a throwback to the golden days of rock ’n roll when the amps were loud, the hair was long and the drugs were cheap. Influenced by the obscure and underground rock of the 70s, they manage to keep their sound classic and true while also creating original, compelling songs that don’t grow tired or sound as if you’ve heard it all before. Love Gang likes to play fast, high energy songs full of driving blues boogie, wailing psychedelic guitar solos and crunchy hammond organ.
