Japanese collective Violent Magic Orchestra (VMO) fuses howling black metal, techno, and visual art to create an intense and abyssal dance experience. Their latest work on Gabber Eleganza's Never Sleep, »DEATH RAVE« doubles down on dance mayhem, incorporating all the good stuff: claustrophobic guitars, throat-annihilating screams, frantic synth stabs and machine beats, pushing towards extra-dimensional hardcore and gabber—a unique alchemical space where the language of metal is transmutated into rave. Get ready to have your body and mind thrashed.

A raw annihilation to the lunar plexus, the Berlin-based duo of Ilia Gorovitz and Asja Skrinik is a relentless fusion of industrial, punk, noise rock, and metal, crafted with the precision of a sonic weapon. Gorovitz’s ruthless drumming anchors Skrinik’s aggressive shrieks and guttural vocalisations, riding on dissonant layers of droning soundscapes, mechanical hums, and shattered metallic crashes and alternating between fierce outbreaks and moments of eerie, atmospheric build-ups—a sojourn through industrial wastelands with the septic beauty of a rusty oil sheen.
