ALARIC (us)
Hailing from Oakland, CA, Alaric will mellow things out a bit - but only musically. The atmosphere of this deathrock/post-punk outfit is as gloomy and dark as the heaviest sludge.

 

BARABBAS (f)
Classic stoner/doom in the vein of St. Vitus, but with a little more heft, with lyrics shouted in french.

 

CACUS (dk)
Hard-hitting sludge with hints of hardcore and Weedeater.

 

CITIES OF MARS (se)

fuzzed out stoner doom with sci-fi themes.

 

COME TO GRIEF (us)
Risen out of the ashes of legendary sludge outfit Grief (and named after their '94 album), Come To Grief will perform old Grief material as well as their own new songs, all of it equally terrifying.

CONFUSION MASTER (de)
In their own words: "Electric sabbath action doom." That really says it better than we ever could.

 

CULT OF OCCULT (f)
Imagine having your soul destroyed very, very slowly. This is not happy music.

 

DEMON HEAD (dk)
The local retro rockers will crack open the sky above Ungdomshuset with their thunderous old-school doom.

 

EMORTUO (dk)
Funereal - but not quite funeral doom - with lots of effects and truly tortured vocals.

 

GOLI DECA (mk)

Articulating brooding coditions through acts of repetitive motion - the goal is to break through and survive by all means necessary. Hyper-real music for the body and mind. Think early SWANS.

 

GRIM VAN DOOM (de)
A hardcore influenced melting pot of all things heavy.

 

GUEVNNA (jp)
All the way from Tokyo, Guevnna are returning to Copenhagen with the recent release of their first full length of their own brand of crushing sludge.

OCKULTIST (swe)
Stockholm sludge/doom trio playing a harsher brand of Electric Wizard-inspired fuzz.

 

OFFERSTIGEN (swe)
Droney, black metal infused funeral doom.

 

PINKISH BLACK (us)
Incorporating styles ranging from industrial to post punk to gothic to doom metal, this texan duo is an absolute must see.

Crawling miserable minimalistisk sludge from macedonia

 

SHAKHTYOR (de)

A german three-piece playing a unique brand of instrumental, atmospheric doom.

TONER LOW (nl)
Slow, heavy tunes about weed is the order of the day when the dutch masters of everything stoned once again visit Copenhagen.
