**MERRIMACK – FR**
Merrimack stands as a pillar of extreme traditionalism. Since their inception in 1994 by the visionary Perversifier, also known as Amfortas, they have waged war against mediocrity and commercialization, driven by an unholy desire to perfect their craft. Merrimack embodies the pure essence of black metal—a relentless force of aesthetic terrorism. With every chord, they burn away the superficiality of modernity, keeping the underground flame of black metal ablaze. This is black metal in its truest, most uncompromising form. Step into the fire or be consumed.

**MALPHAS – CH**
Malphas emerges as one of the fiercest entities in the modern black metal landscape. Formed in 2014, this band is a cold, calculated storm of melodies and violence, delivering their brand of hate with precision and intellect. With each performance, they unleash a torrent of malevolence that is as beautiful as it is devastating. Malphas is the embodiment of forward-thinking darkness, forging their path with unrelenting force and chilling grandeur. This is the sound of modern black metal at its finest—melodic, cold, and merciless.

**KAWIR – GR**
From the ancient, myth-shrouded hills of Greece, Kawir arrives, bringing with them the weight of centuries. For 30 years, they have delved into the deepest mysteries of Greek mythology, literature, and ancient rites, crafting music that transcends time itself. No band captures the essence of these ancient stories like Kawir. They are the voice of forgotten gods and lost civilizations, summoning spirits from the underworld with their raw, primordial sound. Prepare to be transported through the echoes of time, where myth and metal become one.

**HADOPELAGYAL – GER**
Hadopelagyal defies all attempts at description, their sound a manifestation of energies too primal and raw to be contained in mere words. This is not music—it is a convulsion of the soul, a plunge into the depths of human existence where form and meaning dissolve into chaos. With every note, Hadopelagyal unleashes a cosmic force, a haemathermal thirst for knowledge that will never be quenched. Their music is an exploration of the unknown, a journey into the void where nothing is certain and everything is possible. Be prepared to lose yourself in their nightmarish labyrinth of sound.
