Sweden/Germany/Finland based Age of Woe draws inspiration from doom metal, death metal, prog and sludge – with their own unique touch and interpretation. With praised performances at festivals like Inferno Metal Festival, Incubate Festival, SWR Barroselas Metalfest, Berlin Swamp Fest, Bloodshed Fest and Scorched Tundra to name a few and several successful tours – Age of Woe is an explosive force on stage.

Age of Woe unloads pure audio destruction: not overly calculated, lightning-fast or technical, but reliably menacing and tremendously heavy. With the recent addition of Keijo Niinimaa (Rotten Sound / Morbid Evils / Goatburner) they have expanded their sound further to incapsulate some elements of progressive rock, which stacks well on top of their death metal foundations.

Their new album “Envenom” is full of a unique, blood-pumping urgency that has produced something undeniably heavy. The world needs them.

Rock / Black Metal
The music of VORNA from Tampere is as melancholic as sublimely gloomy. The sextet from Finland, active since 2008, enters with a majestic metal sound that also features symphonic and folk accents. The gloomy emotionality and fine melody lines of the band’s fourth album pull in their spell. The contrasting play between forward attacks and fragile atmosphere, which reaches deep, has lasting effects and impresses.

Metal Alternative / Metal/Alternative
A SECRET REVEALED mostly play with groups that display a comparable mindset and similar sound – the likes of Ancst, King Apathy, Downfall of Gaia. The musicality of the quintet, active since 2012, is forward looking and organic. Their third album is again characterized by gloomy, oppressive walls-of-sounds that reveal a post-character and create intense style combinations between various metal styles and the undeniable hardcore roots of the musicians.
