» Valient Thorr (US) (Hardrock / Stoner)

Valient Thorr is a band whose Venusian spacecraft landed in Greenville, North Carolina, Usa, forming in . Soon after they relocated to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, usa so they could fix their spaceship quicker.

On July 1, Valient Thorr self-released their first album (only pressing 1000 copies which were sold at shows), Stranded on Earth, which had the same musical setup as present, but one of their guitarists (Djinn Thorr) used a keyboard, which helped to bring dance elements into their music. This aspect of their music not only further influenced their legendary live shows, but helped to cement their local status as the ultimate live band, with packed hometown shows at local favorite venue Kings Barcade (located in downtown Raleigh, Nc). They toured the United States and Canada shortly afterward, doing 47 shows in 5ys.

After replacing original drummer (Donn Thorr) with current drummer Lucian Thorr and ditching the keyboard entirely live and on release, they were soon signed to Volcom Entertainment, where their full-length album Total Universe Man was released on June 7, . At that point, the group members gave up their regular jobs, which ranged from 6th grade teachers to pornshop workers, and set out on the road. They performed on the Volcom stage on the Warped Tour , for the entire tour, except for a few shows where they played the main stage. They continued touring, taking six days off for Thanksgiving and ten for Christmas. Along the way, they lost their original rhythm guitarist (Djinn Thorr) and replaced him with Bjorn Thorr before going on tour with Hot Rod Circuit and Piebald.

» Coilguns (SZ) (Grindcore / Math Metal / Black Metal)

Coil gun: A projectile accelerator which utilizes electromagnetic coils to discharge a projectile(s) at extremely high velocity.

La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. While most people from this town spend their lives handcrafting complicated mechanisms for use in luxury watches, Coilguns have been busy crafting complex mechanisms of their own.

Writing began while Jona was in exile in the United States. The project had been in mind for some time and with 3 tracks written, Jona naturally looked to Luc and Louis, rhythm section in The Ocean to complete the bands line up.

Recording began in Artefact Studio in Le Locle (CH) on the 1of January and with the help of Steve Notari, a healthy dose of Mauritian Rum, Swiss Absinth and Green the band began their journey. Over the next few days the band recorded live in order to preserve the raw power and authenticity of the project.

Through the green haze emerged 3 tracks as brutal as a kick in the balls, Raw as an open wound, yet as tight as a Swiss watch.

Mixed and mastered by Franck Hueso (Hacride), This first ep has been released as a split with Luc and Louis noise-rock/performance duo project Kunz. A first Handmade edition was released in 4 different colors limited to 150 pieces each. Quickly they signed on Berlin based label Pelagic records and a Digipack version of the split has been released in september .

After the recording of the split, Louis decided to quit the bass in order to focus on vocals and crowd fighting. From then on, the band would not have a bass player anymore. To solve this issue, Jona found the solution: having a ridiculous ammount of guitar and bass amps, cabinets and a huge custom pedal board to allow him to sound like itar players and a bass player.

Adept of the diy logic, unpatient and also hyperactive Coilguns already recorded and released a second ep with 30 minutes worth of music. "Stadia Rods" has been recorded in one day, mixed and mastered by Julien Fehlmann in a few hours and manufactured in less than a week by the band itself.

Coilguns is fast and like things to move forward quicker than usual. After a year of existence, 's, a few good support slots like The Dillinger Escape Plan and a successful first headlining tour in Europe in september , the band already started booking a second european run for the spring of . Also meant to be released for that tour, a fancy 10' vinyl version of "Stadia Rods" and a limited uk version cd of the same recording through Scottish diy label Dead Dead Dead Music.

Citing bands like Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, Cursed, Breach or Botch, Coilguns live up to their name delivering sonic projectiles at extremely high velocity.
