Chicago-based Heavy Psych & Stoner Psych aus Melbourne
Chicago-based cosmic and cataclysmic quartet REZN have mined the stark monochromatic depths of underground metal and fused them with the kaleidoscopic delights of psychedelia, prog rock, and shoegaze. From their inception, the band have been fiercely independent with a fully realized aesthetic and a fervent cult following. As knowledgeable gear heads, experienced sound engineers, and seasoned DIY veterans, REZN have been able to create a body of work devoid of any sonic compromises in their speaker-rattling dirges and heady lysergic forays.
Their four self-released albums—Let It Burn (2017), Calm Black Water (2018), Chaotic Divine (2020), and Solace (2023)—have all gone through multiple vinyl pressings without any distribution or retail presence, and the international underground heavy psych world has routinely selected the band for distinguished festival slots across North America and Europe.

Support: KHAN
Die Australier KHAN bewegt sich stilistisch im Spannungsfeld zwischen psychedelischem Rock, Stoner und progressiven Klanglandschaften. Mit atmosphärischer Dichte und druckvollen Riffs erschaffen sie Soundwelten, die durch industrielle Crescendos und vielschichtige Dynamik geprägt sind. Inhaltlich behandeln die Songs oft Themen wie Verlust, Isolation und innere Zerrissenheit – getragen von einer intensiven lyrischen Tiefe. Der Gesang changiert dabei zwischen schwebendem Falsett, hypnotischem Sprechgesang und expressivem Klagen, durchbrochen von kraftvollen, gutturalen Ausbrüchen.
