Shredfest #16

BEHIND THE MASK– Deathgrind (AT) The Trio from Austria plays catchy riffs in combination with fast drums. Their music is the right mix of Deathmetal, Grindcore and Hardcore. Fast-paced yet easy to follow and melodic. So bang your heads and get ready for some moshpits! ISKARIOT – Melodic Blackmetal (AT) With groaning Black-metal vocals, melodic guitar riffs and hammering drums they are musically influenced by Der Weg einer Freiheit, Zeal and Ardor, Harakiri for the Sky, Dornenreich, and Agalloch. Harsh and forceful parts intersect with slower, atmospheric ones engulfed by a melodic heavyness. You would not want to miss them! SVNTARER – Postmetal/Sludge (AT) The metal duo draws their influence from black and post metal, merging these genres into a sound that is both intense and distinct. Dissonant, heavy and atmospheric riffs ready to crush your bones and soul. PRYNE – Progressive Sludge (AT) PRYNE Defined by massive rhythms, heavy yet melodic riffs, and polyphonic vocals and inspired by bands such as Mastodon and Baroness, this band should definitely be on your bucket list! MOROST – Blackened Progressive Death Metal (SLO) Fast, melodic, technical, powerful, massive. These are just some words to describe the Quintet from Ljubljana. Once their unrelenting force is unleashed you will no longer be able to stand still and bang your head to the raw energy Morost unburdens onto the crowd. An hopeless and introspective journey with dark, melodic and progressive musical compositions awaits!
