KYLESA (US)
American sludge pioneers KYLESA suddenly ended an otherwise promising career in 2012. Earlier this year, they surprisingly announced their reunion for a series of exclusive European festivals in 2025 including A Colossal Weekend.

ORANSSI PAZUZU (FI)
Finland's ORANSSI PAZUZU have previously played at ACW. The band delivers psychedelic black metal with jazz and Finnish finesse up to both ears, and they are a huge crowd favourite. Their new album Muuntautuja is out next week.

MACHUKHA (UA/IE)
Black-metal/post-hardcore band MACHUKHA is a wild and intense project with Ukrainian Natalya and Irish Bláthin as creative driving forces.

BOSCO SACRO (IT)
Italian BOSCO SACRO delivers dreamy ambient doomgaze and has already attracted a lot of interest and attention.

CHAT PILE (US)
From the sludgy noise rock territory of Oklahoma City, Chat Pile has released their sophomore full-length album Cool World. Into the band’s twisted foundational sound, they meld traces of other eclectic genre stylings, such as gazy, goth-tinged dirges and alternative indie-esque hooks and metal grooves, challenging their own "comfort tones".

AGRICULTURE (US)
American avant-garde black metal band AGRICULTURE is a visionary band that both honors and transcends the tropes of black metal with ecstatic music that provides insight into the impenetrable layers of the human psyche.
