Descending into a Deeper Darkness is the name of the 2024 opus by BM alliterative fetishists NAXEN! The fact that these gentlemen are not only good at juggling with letters but are also in full possession of their instrumental and songwriting skills can easily be attested to by this work of art. Clear the stage for Naxen!

Butcher Basement, Serial Urbicide, Dehumanization Protocol... judging by the album titles, EXTERMINATION DISMEMBERMENT from Minsk must be true aesthetes. Founded in 2009, the brutalovators shoot everything down live - we're already looking forward to this pastoral hour.

Truly dark perspectives for P.S:O:A genre purists: with THE VISION BLEAK we have another musical escapist in the 2025 program! Germany's flagship band of gothic metal not only describes itself as horror metal but also impresses with mature songwriting, dense atmosphere and a breath that has lasted for almost 25 years now. Another P.S:O:A premiere!
