SOTU Festival 2017: FINAL ACT!

Nionde Plågan Post-metal/screamo from Jönkoping, Sweden. Followed up by their last three releases, this 4-piece is still maturing their sound more than ever. Leaving their early crusty black metal sound behind, they're blending even more genres such as screamo, post-rock and post-metal. Ferocious and emotional vocals, beautiful atmospheric guitar parts, pummeling drums - fans of bands such as Envy, Light Bearer and Fall Of Efrafa will definitely not be disappointed.

The Fifth Alliance 5-piece from Breda, The Netherlands who blend blackish sludge, gut-wrenching doom and hypnotic (post)hardcore/metal. The Fifth Alliance leaps forward in terms of intelligent arrangements, subtle passages and building layers of atmosphere, led by Silvia Berger’s heartfelt screaming of pure emotion and beauty, merging ‘Death Poems’ into their heaviest outburst yet.

Trachimbrod Screamo infused shoegaze from Stockholm/Malmö, Sweden. Their music is characterised by catchy drums and jangly guitar melodies combined with unique and emotional vocals. Even though the music tends to evolve from record to record, the unmistakable ‘Trachimbrod sound’ is always present.

Snøgg Experimental black metal duo from Velenje, Slovenia. They use a lot of improvisation and often float in different extreme musical genres. Snøgg call their music freeride black metal.

slo daze Ambient side-project of Daan van Houten from Amsterdam based psych/black metal band Project Nefast.
