Lineup
Worship Pain
Worship Pain is a formidable feature on this Obliteration Records-produced bill, known for a crushing fusion of Black Metal, Hardcore, and Death Metal influences. The band delivers a relentless sonic battery, rooted in raw intensity, that is both technically precise and emotionally devastating. Their music is complemented by a unique, ritualistic stage presence, utilizing specific light and incense to create a dense, suffocating atmosphere that fully immerses the audience.
SSORC
SSORC is a formidable force in the contemporary Japanese Black Metal scene, known for a raw, uncompromising approach that pays direct homage to the genre's earliest, most aggressive roots. Their sound is characterized by chaotic speed, rapid tremolo-picked riffs, and a dark, desolate atmosphere that rarely relents. They embody the true underground spirit, prioritizing pure, sonic aggression above all other concerns.
Their presence ensures the night maintains an elevated level of intensity and dedication to the genre's severe ethos. For those seeking the cold, unadulterated foundation of Black Metal delivered with Japanese precision and fury, SSORC is an essential act on this bill.
Exitium of Nemesis
Exitium of Nemesis delivers a highly unpredictable and experimental blend of Black Metal, Thrash, and unexpected atmospheric elements. Their sound is defined by a bizarre fusion that incorporates the dreamy textures of Shoegaze and the hypnotic medievalism of Dungeon Synth into a relentless metal framework. This is a deliberate and chaotic departure from predictable genre structures, making them one of the most compelling and strangest acts in the scene.
Zxui Moskvha
ZXUI MOSKVHA brings a highly stylized and contemporary element to this extreme metal bill, representing the modern evolution of Japanese Black Metal. Hailing from Oita Prefecture, their sound is a distinct departure from traditional forms, often incorporating dissonant, chaotic, and almost industrial aesthetics. They are celebrated for their cryptic approach and refusal to conform to predictable genre structures, making every performance a unique and unsettling event.
They represent the experimental, forward-thinking wing of the Tokyo extreme metal underground. Readers should expect a dense, suffocating atmosphere and a relentless set that challenges the audience with its uncompromising vision. Their performance highlights the diverse, creative landscape of contemporary Japanese Black Metal.
