Show Lineup
DUMA
(Nairobi, Kenya)
Genre: Experimental
Martin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi’s flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed Duma (Darkness in kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project.
Their unique sound fuses the frenetic euphoria, unrelenting physicality and rebellious attitude of hardcore punk and trash metal with bone-crunching breakcore and raw, nihilist industrial noise through a claustrophobic vortex of visceral screams.
Duma are a sinister force facing pain and difficult emotions head on is the place from which Khanja writes. A sonic aggression of feral intensity with disregard for styles, the duo promises to impact the hungry East African metal scene moving it into totally new, boundary-challenging experimental territories. Their self-titled debut album was released August 7th 2020 on Nyege Nyege Tapes and has received the best accolades from the press, including best album in several end-of-the-year lists (Metal Hammer, Pitchfork, The Wire, The Quietus…)
Duma has a new 7″ dropping soon on Subpop’s singles club and a new AV collaboration with Jesse Kanda. A remix for Mdou Moctar and a collaborative album in the works with Indonesian duo ‘Gabber Modus Operandi’ and with Brazil metal band Deafbricks.
ONO
(Chicago, Illinois)
Genre: Experimental
The ONO Statement of Purpose: Experimental, Noise, and Industrial Poetry Performance Band Exploring Gospel’s Darkest Conflicts, Tragedies and Premises.
Masma Dream World
(Brooklyn)
Genre: Experimental
Tapping into her training as a reiki practitioner and a Butoh dancer (a Japanese avant-garde, spirit-led performance art), Masama Dream World’s debut showcases their ability to abide by their own precise rules when producing music. Play at Night was recorded in four days—encompassing elements of butoh, theta frequency (which creates a trance state in the mind) and the need to hold sacred space.
Guerrilla Ghost
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Eclectic. Aggressive. Prolific. These are a few of the words that have been continuously used to describe Milwaukee’s Guerrilla Ghost. Having been active since 2017, the duo (which is composed of producer Tron Jovi and vocalist Bad Graphics Ghost) have amassed a catalog that rivals contemporaries with twice the tenure.
Now entering five years of existence, Guerrilla Ghost plans on celebrating this milestone achievement by offering their fourth full length, and second album this year, available on November 11th, 2022 via Triple Eye Industries, which is cryptically titled “Dying”. As with their previous efforts, the album showcases continued growth and unwavering talent from a group highly proficient in their craft.
“As long as we have the technology and the voice, we’ll ride this beast until the wheels fall off. We agree that we’ve accomplished practically everything we’ve set out to do, so at this point in our career we’re pretty much looking down on a sky that was once the limit.” – Bad Graphics Ghost, of Guerrilla Ghost
