Wayward Dawn har base i Skanderborg og spiller grum, primitiv og direkte ulækker dødsmetal. Bandet trækker dig ind i en verden af ond nihilisme og angriber dig med beskidt bas, hulemandstrommer og nedstemte guitarer spillet gennem klassiske Marshall-forstærkere. Giftige
ord om menneskelig og samfundsmæssig forfald fuldender billedet med dyriske brøl, afgrundsdybe growls og bundrådne skrig.
Siden bandets dannelse i oktober 2015, har Wayward Dawn blandt andet spillet på Aalborg Metal Festival, UHØRT Festival og SPOT Festival samt opvarmet for bands som Nailed to Obscurity (DE), Blood Red Throne (NO) og BAEST (DK). Bandet er blevet rost i prominente blade som Metal Hammer og GAFFA og er kendt for deres hyper-energiske liveshows med konstant brug af vindmølleteknik og manisk interaktion med publikum.
Med de to anmelderroste albums ”Soil Organic Matter” og “Haven of Lies” fra henholdsvis 2018 og 2020 under bæltet og mere end 40 gigs i Danmark og Tyskland har Wayward Dawn langsomt, men sikkert kravlet deres vej op fra undergrunden for at sprede deres klamme dødsmetal.
Wayward Dawn udgiver i december to-sangs-udgivelsen “House of Mirrors” gennem Emanzipation Productions. Udgivelsen er indspillet og produceret af Jacob Bredahl i Dead Rat Studio og mastered af Brad Boatright fra Audiosiege (Obituary, Nails, Full of Hell).

Deception is a symphonic death metal band from the west coast of Norway. Since their beginning they have been releasing several albums and toured alongside great bands like Nile, Insomnium, Blood Red Throne and Tribulation as well as one off shows with Testament, Kvelertak and at the Bloodstock Festival. After changing their name in 2018 they released ‘Epidemic’ the following year with a new sound and a new attitude. Their 2021 release ‘The Mire’ expanded on this adding symphonic elements and was very well received both nationally and internationally. They have and will always be an energetic live band ready to melt faces of those who witness their live shows.

Ruun is a Norwegian Death metal trio with its origins in Hoenefoss. They started up in 2017 and have released their debut EP `Atheos´, and are in full prep for their first full album `Impermanence´. They have shared stages with bands like Endezzma, Konvent, Fleshmeadow, Golden Core and Ulvehyrde. With catchy and brutal riffs as a foundation, they will surely make you swing and sway. A death metal basis gives room for their inspirations to shine through, showing off some of the other genres and bands that make up their imagery. Now Ruun stand ready and poised to enter new lands, and crush stages in Denmark for the first time, with their imposing style of death metal!
