EBONY PENDANT (US)
Urgent and tri­om­phant atmos­pher­ic black met­al of the high­est order — Ebony Pendant is a one man band with­out equal — strik­ing down non­be­liev­ers with irrev­o­ca­bly pow­er­ful riffs, stri­dent and uncom­pro­mis­ing melodies backed by a relent­less son­ic bravoure. First time ever on European soil. Truly an expe­ri­ence not to be missed.

FACELESS ENTITY (NL)
Malignant obscu­ri­ty made flesh, from deep in the bow­els of the under­world, this enig­mat­ic three-piece emerges to cel­e­brate both life in all its anguish, and death in all its morose silence. For the unini­ti­at­ed, who might not have wit­nessed their recent dis­play of mias­mic, audi­to­ry hyp­no­sis at either Het Bos or at De Pankraker Fest II — expect a raw, mes­mer­iz­ing onslaught that knows no equal in these parts of our decrepit world.

DRENGSKAPUR (GER)
Evoking the vast­ness of the Germanic woods, Drengskapur mix­es raw, dri­ving per­cus­sion with melod­ic yet melan­cholic gui­tar lay­ers that build and tear with equal mea­sure. Ferocious, tra­di­tion­al, nature-inspired black met­al that has stood the test of time for over two decades, a lo-fi bat­ter­ing that will leave you entranced and bewildered.
