MIIRA (Nürnberg)
Seeking dissolution in reverb and space, Miira is a fierce monument without words, driven by distortion and exhaustion. A drum set working its way forward, big reverb trails and fragments from hardcore and doom: Post-rock duo Miira are back, wilder, angrier, more disjointed and thereby totally concentrated on the moment.

WIRECUTTER + LARA ALARCON (Berlin)
Michael Hoppe and Sidney Werner's walls of sound stand so tall and strong that they themselves can't even surmount them.
As Werner describes the music: "Extremely slow, extremely loud, extremely ornate, and extremely minimalist!" Practically everything else is self-explanatory. "Extremely massive" might come to mind as well when bass, drums and synthesizers hurtle relentlessly forward. And right when you've started to keep pace with the sound, Werner and Hoppe turn it up a notch.
 
BYEBYE TSUNAMI (Berlin)
Experi-metal, post-mental sounds from planet? Disrupted rhythms, entropic noise, heartbreaking cyborg screams, scavenging the remnants of a future no one wished for to define a new era of post-real.
