PROFANATICA (US)
PROFANATICA are at the vanguard of the first wave of American black metal. Founded and led by infamous master of black perversion Paul Ledney (drums/vocals), they have purveyed primeval blasphemy for nigh on thirty-three years.
Ledney formed the band from the ashes of the rst INCANTATION lineup when he split and took with him all of the members sans John McEntee. That early trio of ex-INCANTATION members reeled o three ground-breaking demos of some of the most extreme and blasphemic metal of its time in rapid succession.
The band yers that permeated the tape-trading circuit were no less shocking and featured the trio bloody and naked and in the throes of what was most certainly a primeval summoning of some kind. In short order, they had inked a deal with the edgling Osmose Productions for what became one of that labels rst releases (Osmose release #5); a legendary split with Colombia’s MASACRE.
Something so volatile could only last briey, and after another brief recording session the band collapsed under the weight of its own extremity. but the recordings made in this two year window went on to see dozens of reissues in the coming decades, in a testament to how formidable and formative they are to the black metal scene worldwide. After almost fteen years spent with his equally polarizing solo project HAVOHEJ, Ledney reignited the
ames of Profanatica in 2006. Reemerging with a new deal from Hells Headbangers, Ledney and his new band released ‘The Enemy of Virtue’, a collection of that vaunted early material, and a new full-length, ‘Profanatitas de Domonatia’. A triumphant return, ‘Profanatitas de Domonatia’ picked up right where these Kings of US Black Metal left o, delivering a savage stream of chainsaw guitars and relentless battery upon which they desecrated everything sacred. This set-in motion another frenetic burst of work for Profanatica. The next decade saw them unleash four
new full-length albums of blasphemous perversions, sacrilegious incantations, and furious black metal. In addition, the band issued six mini-albums and EP’s, a full DVD of early footage, and began touring internationally in Europe and in Central and South America. For the rst time Profanatica were appearing near or at the top of the bill at festivals like MDF, Messe Des Mortes, Hells Headbash, Prague Death Mass (Czech Republic), Chaos Descends (Germany), Black Sun (Spain), Tyrant Fest (France), SWR Fest (Portugal) and many more.
In fall 2018, Profanatica joined forces with Season of Mist and undertook their biggest tour to date supporting WATAIN and ROTTING CHRIST across Europe. And a year later, the trio vomited forth a most vulgar strain of black metal ejaculate with their SoM debut album ‘Rotting Incarnation of God’.
The band embarked on an extensive twelve-country European headline tour in the album’s wake. Shortly after returning home that winter, the world ground to a halt in 2020. Save a live-streaming concert production for the legendary Rock al Parque in conjunction with BATUSHKA, little was heard from Profanatica.
That is until spring 2023, when Profanatica emerged from their den of iniquity on a European headline tour to promote a new album. ‘Crux Simplex’ is a ten-track oensive of sin and sacrilege, a nasty aront that bastardizes the rst 10 stations of the cross. As per their legacy, Profanatica deals in bestial, rst-wave black metal barbarity, and their eighth album unveils ungodly levels of bile and blasphemy.
SPITER (US)
It was but the summer of 2022 when SPITER burst from the fucking grave with their debut album for HELLS HEADBANGERS, Bathe the Babe in Bats’ Blood. Featuring members of labelmates SHITFUCKER and Devil Master, the power-trio made plain - and vulgar - their infernal & infectious True Vampyric Metal Punk: a raw-yet-anthemic blend of cult blackthrash, obscure hardcore punk, and even the wildest deathrock. The album sowed its seeds of sanguine depravity and SPITER took their madness on the road, cementing their cult status immediately.
Now, the deviants of SPITER return with a ripping new mini-album, Enter the Gates of Fucking Hell. This six-song / 26-minute recording sees the lineup scaled back to vocalist / guitarist / songwriter Richard Spider (Daemon Bitch of SHITFUCKER) and drummer Snake (Disjawn) - they continue to be a trio for live purposes - and remarkably shows even more fire and focus than that not-inconsiderable debut album. Somehow, those six(-six-six) songs sound shorter and more epic simultaneously, with Spider showing his songwriting chops between wild & winding mania and ghoulish catchiness. The production, in kind, is colder and harsher but clearer and heavier, assaulting the listener with arguably more undead energy than said debut.
And then, over before it began, you’re again possessed to press “play” and enter those fucking gates over and over...again, until it fucking hurts.

VOLKWERKKFOLLETTO (IT)
Volkwerk Folletto è un oscuro collettivo nato con l'intenzione di sovvertire, indispettire e scompaginare, aspirando con l'intensità centripeta di un aspirapolvere elettrico la superficie obliqua della musica contemporanea. Folletto restituisce al rumore un riflesso melodico compresso, ri-codificato da un'elettronica nichelista e spartana. Difficile descrivere le suggestioni di una musica impura per nascita e metodo, e fuorviante per i rimandi alla musica sperimentale, ma anche al post-punk o il folk, aggettivi presenti - ma non determinanti - concepiti in un percorso di elaborazione a ritroso, dalla a-tonalità più esasperata fino alla scoperta di una melodia lineare e siderale.
"Caspar Pulver” segna il ritorno su vinile dei VF dopo il disco d'esordio del 2010 che vedeva la collaborazione con il filosofo Toni Negri insieme al pioniere della musica elettronica tedesca Hans Joachim Roedelius dei Cluster. Il nucleo base di Volkwerk Folletto è composto dall’aspirapolverista e artista visivo Andrea Renzini e dall'operatore elettronico e chitarrista Gian Luca Patini, affiancati per questo lavoro da ospiti d'eccezione come Suz alla voce solista nel singolo “ We’ll Be Fine” composta da Justin Bennett, e da Angela Baraldi in “ Zermatt Hassle”.
Il progetto discografico è stato prodotto dal Comune di Bologna nell'ambito delle produzioni culturali legate alle capitali Unesco della musica europea.

WEEKEND MARTYR
Post - punk e psichedelia da Livorno. Band fondata da Riccardo Prianti, Elia Lazzerini.
Registrano il primo album "Weekend Martyr" nel 2019 edito da Aloch Dischi e Orfan Records, un album frutto di registrazioni low-fi e dalla produzione in studio di Niccolò Mazzantini (Appaloosa). Disco caratterizzato da un approccio punk e diy dalle sfumature glam rock e acide.
Tornano con "Gastrin" album in uscita a gennaio 2024 per Cruel Records e Gigia Booking. Lavoro prodotto da Marco Fasolo (Jennifer Gentle / I Hate My Village) che porta la band in nuove direzioni sonore. Più oscuro e sofferto il disco spazia dalla psichedelia dei '70 fino all'altrernative dei '90 rimanendo però sempre fedele alla matrice post - punk della band.
Nel 2025 esce "Young Elvis Lover Known For Being Out Of Control" un EP autoprodotto di 5 brani scritti durante il Tour di "Gastrin" Caratterizzato da un approccio live grezzo e molto punk, il disco viene registrato in presa diretta nella sala prove della band presso Jeebo Recording e mixato in seguito su un vecchio mixer analogico cercando di essere fedele all’attitudine diretta dei brani. Un’autoproduzione volta a fotografare un momento della band. Esce in cassetta per Mostä Records (Nantes).
BASEBALL GREGG
A quasi un anno dall'uscita del loro ultimo album _Briefs_ , tornà in città la band italo-californiana Baseball Gregg, il collettivo e multinazionale surf pop partorito dall'estro di Luca Lovisetto e Sam Regan. Di pochi mesi fa la loro straordinaria partecipazione al MiAmi 2025 in apertura ai The Pais of Being Pure at Heart.
TAB_ULARASA
Luca Tanzini ha una molteplice attività in vari settori dell’underground. Che si tratti di musica, di fumetti, collage di video la sua attività raminga e ramificata ha come tratto fondamentale un DIY che è espressione di libertà e consapevolezza e che, in termini mediatici, si traduce in una rocciosa marginalità. Inesauribile, letteralmente perso in vari progetti (attualmente “in vigore” ci sono TOTALE!, Punk Xerox, Duodenum, Liutprando,!), Tab_ularasa è il “suo” progetto musicale personale.

JENNIFER TOUCH (GER)
Showcasing her unique sound in the saturated world of electronica, Jennifer Touch successfully combines dark 80’s vintage synths with industrial soundscapes, delivered with a visceral post-punk snarl that is home on the dance floor and off, as a live musician or in her DJ Sets. You’ll rarely find an artist today so devoted to sound or as deeply immersed in the affective reverberation of old synths. She calls it Post-Wave-Cold-Pop-Acid-Romance, rubbing sonic shoulders with PJ Harvey, DAF, Tempers and Depeche Mode.
Jennifer Touch released 2 studio albums via Fat Cat Records, both part of several Best-Of- Lists, alongside interviews and reviews at Metal Mag, MOJO, Uncut, Future Music and DJ Mag. She delivered exclusive song contributions to compilations alongside Boy Harsher, The KVB, Buzz Kull, Paranoid London, Bobby Gillespie, Rebeka Warrior, Curses and many more. Over the last years, Jennifer has been touring across the UK, Europe, Mexico and Colombia. Her new LP will be out in 2025 on Fabrika Records.

VAPORS OF MORPHINE (US)
Vapors of Morphine are a power trio featuring electric baritone sax, drums, and 2 string slide bass (often guitar). Baritone saxophonist Dana Colley is the through-line between Vapors and “low rock” pioneers Morphine, whose leader Mark Sandman left this earth while performing onstage in Italy in 1999.
Vapors of Morphine perform much of the Morphine repertoire, plus new material and original versions of selective covers. They expand on the ethereal, hypnotic sounds popularised by the group in the nineties, and dig into their influences, from African music to delta Blues.The group was formed over a decade ago by Dana Colley, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morphine’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolfe’s Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019.Their latest album, Fear & Fantasy, represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors of Morphine. In its often lush arrangement, recalls Morphine’s final album, The Night, where Deupree teamed up with Billy Conway, the drummer who had replaced him; this time Arey plays on one side, Deupree on the other. It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists.
