Soulcrusher 2024

On 11 & 12 October we descend into the dark abyss once again with apocalyptic, bonecrushing riffs and devastating soundscapes with a spark of light.

We are delighted to present Zeal & Ardor as one of the headliners of Soulcrusher 2024! This Swiss avant-garde metalband is pushing the boundaries of the genre since its inception and will present their brand new record during this show.

Next to this it is with great anticipation to welcome Blackbraid to the Netherlands for the very first time! The American indigenous black metal project caused quite a stir the last few years with their riveting music. This show marks their debut in The Netherlands.

Also appearing in the 2024 line-up are the experimental electonics- noise project Pharmakon from New York, the Swiss wrecking balls of Coilguns, USA based Lamp of Murmuur and Woe with their black grimmness, Dödsrit with a maelstrom of soul tearing blackness and last but not least the gnarly Australian industrial act Kollaps. Definitely something to look forward to and there is still much more to follow…

Line-up

Zeal & Ardor

Zeal & Ardor (swi)

Zeal & Ardor

Zeal & Ardor (swi)

Zeal & Ardor is the brainchild of the visionary Manuel Gagneux, an American of Swiss descent. Their debut album ‘Devil is Fine’ made a significant impact in the underground metal scene. The electrifying fusion of black metal and African American spiritual music is groundbreaking and defies boundaries. Industrial rhythms, gently plucked guitars and synthy soundscapes may haunt these realms, but the blood and fire reverberating through history’s dark corridors remains on the albums that followed. Blending haunting melodies, blistering riffs, and powerful lyrics that delve into themes of struggle, defiance, and redemption. Prepare to be mesmerized by their raw energy and unique sound that challenges conventions and ignites the soul.

Blackbraid

Blackbraid

Blackbraid (usa)

It is with a great anticipation to welcome the indigenous black metal project Blackbraid as it  their first ever NL appearance. Something paople have been waiting for quite a while now. Hailing from the depths of the Adirondack wilderness creating music as raw and powerful as the mountains from whence it came…The music of Blackbraid is inspired by the forces of nature in the land around us, overpowering emotions of rage and sadness, and the deep spirituality of the project’s creator, Sgah’gahsowáh; a southern native raised in the mountains of the northeast of the United States. His stage name was chosen to honor the Mohawk land which inspires much of Blackbraid’s music.

Pharmakon

Pharmakon (usa)

Pharmakon

Pharmakon (usa)

Margaret Chardiet is an interdisciplinary sound artist born and based in New York City. Pharmakon as a project, entity, and process exists and evolves in true protean form, developing alongside and within Margaret’s personal experience and auto-didactic philosophies. Her work as a whole is a forced self-possession: a celebration of ferality and viscereality, abandoning a society that has never accepted anything it couldn’t also exploit. Chardiet uses electronic synthesis as a tool to transfer this self-possession physiologically and intra-spatially into the bodies of their audience. Pharmakon’s live musical act has been described as confrontational and concise, attempting to ‘cross the boundary between performer and audience’.

Coilguns

Coilguns (swi)

Coilguns

Coilguns (swi)

Initially coming from the DIY hardcore scene, Coilguns have crafted since then their very own blend of pissed-off punk and extatic noise-rock. The band is known for its raw, uncompromising and euphoric live performances, proudly serving the dancing freaks and the crowd-surfing weirdos. The blend of sludge, hardcore, noise, industrial, punk and hardcore is exhilarating, mechanical and brutal. Shows by these Swiss often derail into tight chaos. It’s as if a wrecking ball is hurtling through the room. As they have proven earlier as closers of Soulcrusher 2021.  It’s almost unnecessary to say that you don’t want to miss them this year.

Lamp of Murmuur

Lamp of Murmuur (usa)

Lamp of Murmuur

Lamp of Murmuur (usa)

Few artists in recent memory have swept through the dark underground with the excited fervour that Lamp of Murmuur has achieved since first appearing with a string of demos in 2019. Despite the project’s quick rise to renown, little is known about the band except that the project hails from Los Angeles, CA, and is led by an enigmatic man known as M. There is no shortage of raw black metal projects around the world but the way that M. approaches the genre sets Lamp of Murmuur on a different path than many of its contemporaries. With two albums already under his belt (and a third one set to be released early in 2023) M.’s explorations in black metal stray enough to keep his approach fresh and mysterious, without compromising the extreme core of the project. Truly a driving force in modern-day underground metal. One to watch during Soulcrusher.

Dödsrit

Dödsrit (swe/nl)

Dödsrit

Dödsrit (swe/nl)

From the shadowy desolated woods of Borlänge, Sweden and the rusting urban lechery of Amsterdam, The Netherlands comes Dödsrit, a maelstrom of soul tearing blackness and cacophony. Whether painting landscapes of storming riffs, crescendos of pulsing intensity, or immersing mournful wails, Dödsrit’s crushing devotion to the visceral element in men and nature allured from its very inception. While rooted in the black metal scene, the group’s sonic traits expand wide and beyond, from repetitive and atmospheric upsurges of misty ambiance to melancholic yet triumphant infused outbreaks, a pallet of sorts that provides this journey with an uproar of emotions.

Woe

Woe (usa)

Woe

Woe (usa)

Hailing from the depths of the American black metal scene, Woe emerges as a force to be reckoned with. With blistering riffs, relentless drumming, and raw, emotive vocals, Woe crafts a sound that is both punishing and cathartic. Their music delves into the darkest recesses of the human experience, exploring themes of despair, isolation, and existential anguish. With each release, Woe pushes the boundaries of the genre, evolving and refining their sound while maintaining their uncompromising intensity. With the latest ‘Legacies of Frailty’ as the latest proof of this.

Kollaps

Kollaps (aus)

Kollaps

Kollaps (aus)

Australian post-industrialists Kollaps are a three piece creating a unique brand of primitive noise ‘intended for degenerates and outsiders’. The band’s distinctive primordial tones are created using appropriated waste materials like scrap metal, raw plastics and steel plates combined with blistering percussion, bass and vocals. This is no empty ‘industrial’ gesture, for the band this process of creation facilitates the literal use of postmodern society against itself.
