„The final“ underground lineup update!

First off we unfortunately need to start with bad news as MANES are forced to pull out due to personal issues, however we’ve already made a deal to bring them next year which makes them the first band announced for 2020.

Now to the good news! Pagan black metal stalwarts KAMPFAR of Norway will be back with their brand new records Ofidians Manifest, representing the force of black metal in 2019. 25 years on from their foundation, KAMPFAR condensate the struggles of the recent years into a powerful record, that is supported even more powerful live performances.

Next on the list are Japanese experimentators CROSSFAITH who continue to evolve in unique style with synths that sound like guitars, guitars that sound like laserbeams and bleeding-edge beats throughout, it’s the sound of a band who have carve out their own new identity with every release.

The Spaniards ALTARAGE are bristling with black and dissonant death metal fury that immediately evokes a plethora of sinister images in the brain. Their relentless soul-crushing sound will send your minds into overdrive.

The Polish enigma ENTROPIA will showcase a one of a kind psyched, hypnotic and psychedelic and sludgy post-black metal while Icelanders UNE MISÈRE will take you to Icelands darkest and bleakest landscapes via their hardcore sound that pushes boundaries and cuts deep.

The Germans UNPROCESSED will present their latest output Artificial Void, which has highly diversified sound and can be described as a technically sophisticated modern progressive djenty metal. The local scene will be represented by unrelenting head-bashing death metal of BRUTALLY DECEASED, modern sounding black/death MALLEPHYR that will surely pleasure every Behemoth fan, modern sounding death metal with prog and metal/death/core influences ELYSIUM and one of the longest running shape-shifing acts, that cannot be bound into a single genre (or a couple of them for that matter), FORGOTTEN SILENCE. They will play a special „THOTS“ album set!

But we are not done yet with the lineup! You can still expect the announcement of the KAL stage artists and of Tuesday’s warm-up party! Additionally, in the upcoming week we will release the schedule of the bands for each festival day!

(new single) Ink Bomb just released their new single Griefwalker.

Dutch melodic punkrockers Ink Bomb just released their new single called Griefwalker. The song is taken from the forthcoming debut album Fiction, scheduled to come out on August 23.

Weird song structure
Griefwalker is a perfect sneak preview of Fiction. “Griefwalker has that typical skate punk sound we are known for but also features a weird song structure and some complex drum rhythms you wouldn’t normally find in a punk rock song clocking in under two minutes”, bass player Arina Banga explains.

Fear of dying
“The name of the song is derived from a 2008 Canadian documentary”, clarifies singer Joost Hoedemaeckers. “It’s basically a thought experiment on the collective human fear of dying. Why are we afraid to die? Griefwalker is about the notion that we shouldn’t be afraid of death but live with it. Walk alongside death or accept help in confronting it.”

Revisiting soundcheck drums
“The funny thing about this song is that our drummer Paul van de Geijn wrote most of his parts while I was doing the soundcheck for the Swim EP”, says guitarist Quirijn Foeken, who recorded and produced the entire record. “When we started writing Fiction, the first thing is we did is revisit those drums because there was a really cool song hidden there”.

Griefwalker is available on Youtube, Spotify, iTunes and other streaming services. More information is available on https://www.inkbomb.nl

Ink Bomb is a Dutch punk rock band that has made quite a splash since its inception in 2015. After the release of their debut EP Invincible Summer in 2016, the band found its way to a lot of stages in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Ink Bomb released their second EP Swim in November 2017 and received great reviews in magazines from Japan, to Germany and Croatia. With the release of their debut album Fiction this August, they are going to conquer more heart and souls all over the world in 2019.

Their songs, reminiscent of Bad Religion and No Fun At All, reflect the journey each band member made in their life, and the journey the band made as a whole. Even in the most upbeat happy pop punk song, there’s room for melancholy and dark lyrics.
