Deep Sound City Fest V​

Station Endlos


The Awakening of a Sleeping Ancient Demon

DEEP SOUND CITY FEST RETURNS!

DSC and KuschConcerts have joined forces to descend into the deep abysses and raise the Deep Sound City Fest from its ashes together!
On the 17th and 18th of November, the city of Halle will be surrounded by a thick mist and darkness will be granted entrance.
The walls of the Station Endlos will shake from deep sound walls and there will be no escape!
Be ready to celebrate the 5th edition of this fest as a ritual with us!

ESOTERIC

This one is a very special one. We’re so glad to announce mighty Esoteric from UK. The funeral Death/Doom matadors will headline the Deep Sound City Fest.
The band has been around since the early 90s and has directly contributed to the creation of the Funeral Doom genre without being confused with other bands.
From their 90s double albums 'Epistemological Despondency' and 'The Pernicious Enigma' to their most recent works 'The Maniacal Vale' and 'Paragon of Dissonance' and the most recent 'A Pyrrhic Existence', they have remained true to their versatility.
Since it's more than worth it to see this band at their only gig in Germany so far in 2023, we assume you won't miss it.

ALKERDEEL

Founded in 2005 and started as a black/sludge band, they show their complexity and have become an integral part of the current black and doom metal genre. The band inspires with energetic attitude and atmospheric-powerful performances that make the audience forget space and time.
Albums with names like Slonk, Lede, Morinde and De Speenzalvinge give an idea of how varied, versatile and individual this band is. Musically, the quartet impresses with gloomy riffs, breathtaking moments and dirty melodies. We are very much looking forward to the likeable guys from Alkerdeel and an another outstanding performance.

ISKANDR

In recent years, the Netherlands has become a small hot spot for some innovative and idiosyncratic Black Metal. The project ISKANDR can be mentioned here in the same breath as FLUISTERAARS, SOLAR TEMPLE, TURIA, NUSQUAMA and also URFAUST.
Mastermind O. and drummer M. manage to interweave modern elements of atmospheric black metal with dark, medieval sound spectra without relying on bagpipes and shawms. So they already managed to create unique moods on the previous albums. Instead of aggression, they rely on introspection. They try to let the songs tell their own stories. Obscure heathen music from the catacombs of Nijmegen. Dark medieval atmospheres, melancholic longing and regal triumph.

PREDATORY VOID

"*(struggling..)", "Grovel", "Endless Return to the kingdom of Sleep".
These are 3 song titles from the album to be released on 21 April.
"Seven Keys to the Discomfort of Being" by Predatory Void.
We are proud to welcome this band to our line up.
The band members are no strangers either and were or are still with great bands like Oathbreaker, Cross Bringer, Carnation or Amenra.
The band manages to develop a completely unique style, not only through Lina's varied vocals, but also through the musical diversity of all the bands.
Predatory Void stands as a completely independent band with their very different songs.
Pure emotion from beginning to end.

PEACE VAULTS

From the gutters of austria strikes a filthy force named PEACE VAULTS.
Expect no more than raw black/punk mixed with lo-fi synths and haunting vocals.
They released 2 demos so far which are highly recommended.
So drift with us in a swirl of kaleidoscopic madness and let the fever dream begin.

DOMKRAFT

Organic. Electric. Hypnotic. Loud. This is Domkraft.
The swedish doom/sludge/psych trio is one of these wonderfully massive and ground-razing bands. They are at the forefront of the New Wave of Swedish Doom Metal alongside Monolord. In addition to a consciousness-expanding soundscape with the help of majestic riffs, they pile up layer upon layer of crushing rage. Majestic, devastating, reductive and thunderous, they merges the darkest influences - an absolute must for fans of glowing melodic doom.

RUMOURS

"The Lower We Sink - The Less We Care!"
Cynical, melancholic, nihilistic, direct - these are some of the terms that buzz through your head when you put the musical products of the Leipzig sextet on your record player. After one excellent EP (2020), the guys followed it up with an album last year that is once again convincing without squeezing into existing genre frameworks. Guitar-driven heavy rock with a slight 60s/70s flair and a certain punk attitude, catchy vocals dripping with cynical lyrics without falling into clichés - we are happy to present one of the most promising local bands of the last few years on our stage.

GRIN

"Shrouded in a haze of hyper amplified bass drones and layers of sepulchral voices, heavy psych-doom outfit GRIN continue to unravel the thread of their psychedlic mythology with a brief exercise in absurd heaviness and DIY ethics.
Consisting of six short compositions, Black Nothingness eschews the duo’s characteristic use of guitar embellishments, instead relying solely on the driving force of their recognisable drum and bass sound. Returning to the essence of their sound, GRIN uncover the source of the ecstatic quality of their music, while inviting you to partake in another bedazzling odyssey through the astral plane and beyond." - R. Westerveld
'Black Nothingness'

BAERUS

From the deepest abyss, Baerus from Osnabrück will join the 5th edition of the Deep Sound City Fest. The band is a 3-piece blackened sludge monster. The people behind Baerus are not unknown. They are involved in bands like Spit Acid, Prehistoric War Cult, Dungeon Keeper, Forsaken Tomb, Misery Vortex.
The songs are influenced by atmospheric black metal and swallow you into lowest chasms.
2020 saw the release of their self titled debut album via Kellerassel Records. New songs are already in the making at the headquarter of Osnabrück.
Watch out.

WITCHTHROAT SERPENT

Groovy and rousing Toulouse Doom Metal haunts our gates.
The charming quartet completes our festival line-up with cursing melodies and reverberating vocals.
For fans of Electric Wizard and Windhand this band is irreplaceable and should not be missed. They also bring their own distinctive and exclusive charm that reeks of psychedelics for more than a decade. Be ready for "Trove of Oddities at the Devil's Driveway" and other doomy sessions.

ARTWORK: SALOWE VISION
Ist mir Zuviel zum lesen echt
 
Sollten da nicht auch Antiversum spielen?
Hat hier jemand das komplette Billing bzw einen Flyer zur Hand?
Finde das mit dem Wall of Text ebenfalls sehr unübersichtlich.

Habe zwei WE-Tickets, mein Kumpel kann aber nur morgen mitkommen. Also falls jemand nur den heutigen Tag des Festivals mitnehmen will und noch kein Ticket hat, nehme ich ihn/sie gern spontan mit (komme aus Leipzig). Ticket ist bezahlt, eine Mate als Dankeschön reicht mir.
Bitte Rückmeldung via PN bei Interesse, gleich mit Handynummer.

Edit: Und bis spätestens 19 Uhr, dann gucke ich nicht mehr rein.
 
In Halle war ich tausend Jahre nicht mehr auf einem Konzert. Der Club ist mir neu, war vorher auch woanders in Halle, wurde mir erzählt. Übertriebener Quark, dass das Fotoverbot durchgesetzt wurde, indem ein Kerl am Einlass die Smartphonekamera zuklebte. Habe ich so noch nirgends erlebt. Die geduldete Raucherei, die es ja in vielen DIY-Clubs gibt, nervt, finde als Nichtraucher das Rauchverbot bei Gigs super und hier hat überall jemand gequarzt, egal wo man sich hinstellte. Was mir auch wie selten auf einem Metalkonzert auffiel, war die fast völlige Abwesenheit langhaariger Kerle.

So, genug Altmännerjaulen, Tag 1. Baerus verströmten Schülerband-Flair. Grin mit Devin-Townsend-Kante in doomig waren etwas besser, aber Gitarre vom Band geht gar nicht. Predatory Void spielen in einer anderen Liga. Die legen dir einen Pflug auf die Brust und ziehen ihn eiskalt runter. Zurück bleibt, wo das Herz einmal war, eine schwarze Furche. Vergessen der 50minütige Nervsoundcheck. Vergessen die stressige Woche und die Hallenser Quarzbrigade. Diese machtvollen Dissonanzen. Diese nackenzermalmenden Grooves. Diese fließenden Übergänge. Und obendrauf das nervenzerfetzende Geschrei von Lina, die, wie sie später am Merchstand erzählte, eigentlich krank war. Nun ja. Das Kompliment "You are an abyss" habe ich noch keiner Frau zuvor gemacht. Dieser Gig war groß.
Domkraft habe ich mir geklemmt, was vorher kam war nicht mehr steigerbar.

Sich Domkraft zu klemmen, ist natürlich ein tiefster Abyss, aber jede(r) trauert verpassten Gelegenheiten später ein Leben lang nach:D

So, Tag 2 überstanden, mit ziemlich buntem Billing. Peace Vaults, Witchthroat Serpent und Rumours haben wir ausgelassen und währenddessen die verwinkelte Location durchstiegen, die viele Nebenräume und ein cooles Außengelände hat.

Antiversum waren mysteriös und anstrengend. Iskandr spielten mal Black Metal, heute stehen sie für Kuhglocken, Paukenklöppel und Großbildaufnahmen von Blumenwiesen und Pferdenüstern. Hat was Faszinierendes in der richtigen Stimmung, heute aber Ermüdendes. Mein Mitbringsel Jan wechselte hilflos zwischen Gähnen und Saufen und pennte dann auch auf einem der rumstehenden Sofas am Klo ein.
Alkerdeel sind primitiv wie Sau, aber das brauchen nach dem schöngeistigen Vorprogramm irgendwie alle, ich auch. An Songs habe ich "Zop" erkannt, aber ist auch wurscht, klingt einer wie der andere. Sie sind von den Publikumsreaktionen her Abendsieger.

Verlängerte Umbaupausen den ganzen Abend durch sorgten dafür, dass Esoteric erst um 00:30 Uhr mit "Circle" loslegten, also eine Stunde später als geplant. Die Kerls sind ja neben Göttern auch Techniknerds und jeder hatte einen Berg Effektgeräte um sich, wobei Greg Chandler zeitweilig mit beiden Füßen gleichzeitig Pedale bediente und dabei mehrmals ins Straucheln kam. Mathew Barnes an der dritten Gitarre, der ja erst seit Kurzem dabei ist, rückte mit undoomig kurzen Hosen an und war den ganzen Gig über fast nicht zu hören. Der Sound war generell, wie immer und unvermeidbarerweise bei Esoteric, ziemlich breiig und Jan konstatierte, dass Orientierung für jemanden, der mit den Songs nicht vertraut ist, aussichtslos sei. Die Tonnen an Layern und Hall überforderten denn auch Teile des Publikums, die mittendrin die Flucht ergriffen und damit nicht nur den Neuling "Culmination", sondern auch und v.a. die Göttergabe "Silence" verpassten, einen der großartigsten Esoteric-Songs, ja der großartigsten Doom-Tracks überhaupt. Als der Gig um 01:30 Uhr endete harrten noch ungefähr 40 Tapfere aus. Esoteric hätten zehnmal soviele verdient, aber die Welt ist eben ungerecht.

Waren ein paar Highlights dabei. Danke für den Hinweis @Dominik2 . Bei passendem Billing sind wir nächstes Jahr wieder dabei.
