WOLFBRIGADE & SKITSYSTEM

In the organizer's words:

Wolfbrigade (known as Wolfpack until 1999) was formed in 1995 in the small Swedish town of Mariestad by key figures in the legendary Swedish hardcore scene and remains one of Scandinavia's most respected, influential and reliable purveyors of true, brute riot. On their ninth and eleventh album "Life Knife Death", the most refined skills perfected over 30 years are utilized with more style and intensity than ever. The subtle nuances of melody and versatility in "Life Knife Death" are one of Wolfbrigade's strengths. The songs evolve in an organic, complementary flow, from epic guitar heroic pieces to the eerily agitated one based on a slowed down riff from the aforementioned song. The band's disparate influences are brought together with a unified solidity. In order to feel one hundred percent present and not just deliver service by the book, Wolfbrigade will only play a few select shows, which will be more intense than ever. "We want to feel one hundred percent present on stage, to succumb to the energy and ecstasy. This level of dedication is almost impossible to maintain after a week on tour. Especially the older we get. We never want to feel this routine and numbness again. For us, music is a passion and should never feel like a job. It's what runs through our veins. We can't hold it back, even if our bodies try. It hurts to play this music, more and more every year. But it's a delicious pain."

Special guest Skitsystem was founded in Gothenburg in 1994 under the name System Collapse and dedicated itself to crust punk. Over the years, the style has become more and more refined, mixing D-beat and crust punk with guitar riffs from Swedish death metal. The lyrics are mostly written in Swedish. On "Stigmata", the band played hardcore punk, which also drew heavily on D-beat and crust punk. The partly Swedish, partly English lyrics deal with socio-political topics such as sexual abuse, the police state or the hidden racist system within the EU. After disbanding in 2007, the Swedes were quiet for a long time, but now we can finally welcome them back on stage and listen to their legendary songs.

Mörser was founded in 1996 by members of Carol, Systral, Minion and Metöke. After setting standards with the release of their legendary debut album "Two Hours To Doom", Mörser became the No.1 export for brutal music. Several extensive European and US tours testify to their popularity with extreme music lovers.

Rounding off the evening will be Wet Dream War Machine from Berlin, who have been delivering continuous output over the last few years and have just launched their new release "I.M.A.G.I.N.E.". With their experimental metal and grind, they provide plenty of surprising moments both on record and live. It's not for nothing that Wet Dream War Machine's music is described as "a monster armed to the teeth with crust broadsides, hardcore splinters, grind abrasions and thrash attacks".
