Disharmonic Orchestra

Disharmonic Orchestra are an Avant garde/ experimental death metal/ Grindcore act formed in Klagenfurt, Austria in 1987. The band was formed by guitarist/ vocalist Patrick Klopf, drummer Martin Messner, bassist Herwig Zamernik and guitarist Herald Bezdek. The latter would leave DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA in 1988, leaving the band a three-piece. After recording three demo tapes in 1988 ( "Requiem for the Forest", "The Unequalled Visual" and "Hypophysis Rehearsal") the band was discovered by record label Nuclear Blast who signed them. The first release on Nuclear Blast wat the 1989 split EP with Austrian label mates PUNGENT STENCH. DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA released a second EP in 1989 called "Successive Substitution" and the band were also featured on the Witchhunt Records compilation album releases "Disappeared With Hermaphrodite Choirs" and "Disharmonisation" before releasing their debut full-length studio album through Nuclear Blast records called "Expositionsprophylaxe" (1990).

The band had up until this point been a grindcore act but that would change with the release of their second full-length studio album "Not to be Undimensional Conscious" (1992) which brought progressive/ avant garde and experimental elements into the band´s death metal sound. The band left Nuclear Blast and their third full-length studio album "Pleasuredome" (1994) was released through Steamhammer. DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA broke up after the "Pleasuredome" album, but reunited around 2001 and released their fourth full-length studio album "Ahead" in 2002 once again on the Nuclear Blast label. Both "Pleasuredome" and "Ahead" have left the really extreme metal elements from the earlier releases behind but maintained an avant garde metal sound. Bassist and founding member Herwig Zamernik left DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA in 2008 and was replaced by Hoimar Wotawa. Allthough there has been no new releases from the band since the 2002 "Ahead" album, the band is still active and play select shows around europe.

Grindpad

"If Utrecht had a Bay Area, that's where Grindpad would be comin' from. 9/10" Standing tall for nearly two decades now, Grindpad keeps on doing what it does best: play METAL. Not caring about the trends that come and, mainly, go. Metal as it once was meant to be: aggressive, violent, fun.

With their chugging Bay Area-like Thrash, their signature Ed Repka artwork and their no holds barred live shows, they've become the Kings of Dutch Thrashmetal. Metalfans know by now: when the Shark Crew plays, it's time for beer, inflatable sharks and a big- ass moshpit.

With their Sharkbite! EP (2017) being called "The number 1 underground Thrash album of the last decade", their critically acclaimed full length Violence (2020) and their upcoming 2023 EP Finger Collector Crew in hand, Grindpad guarantees to Thrash the stages. Come and Thrash 'em with us!

Inhuman Depravity

Inhuman Depravity was originally formed back in 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey and they first recorded a 3 track demo to help promote the band and book some live shows. In 2015 they released their first album on Russian Brutal Death/Grind label Coyote Records, titled “Nocturnal Carnage by the Unholy Desecrator”. Their fantastic debut got some excellent reviews in places like Xtreem Music Portal, Lords Of Metal webzine, Antichrist Magazine and Brutalism just to name a few.

After showing up at many domestic and outbound gigs, the band released their new full length release “The Experimendead” on Gruesome Records in September 2022, taking the band onto a whole new level of brutality. This record is also credited as the first ever full length album released in Turkey that features female brutal vocals. The Experimendead appeared in magazines like Metal Injection, Metal Hammer, metal.de, The Headbanging Goose, to name a few and got fantastic reviews. In support of their latest release the band showed up at great festivals in Switzerland, Germany and Turkey. Now Inhuman Depravity continues their live shows and writing material for their next opus.

Stoflik Omskot

Stoflik Omskot, was founded in 2019 after years of postponing with the idea of destroying a bar every now and then. Yet things are going well and we have already achieved greater things then we ever expected. They played at Stonehenge, throughout the country and also in Germany. Their debut album 'Harksankjes fan de Dea' was released in 2022, and the song 'BBQ mei de Buorfrou' even reached the Fryske top 100. The music mainly consists of death metal, but influences from punk and hardcore are certainly not avoided. They are currently working tireless on new material.
