Our good friends and hellhounds BRUTUS are back!!!

After countless evenings and nights in front of, and around, the bar counter. After long, fiery discussions about the first Sabbath-album, endless arguments over what the best work of Hendrix is, and how everything just sounded so much better before - these guys felt the time was right to take matters into their own hands.
Three bearded swedes and two norwegians immediately started to deep-dive into their own private collections of LPs and thus the conception of a musical journey, unpreceded - ever before, or after, for that matter - was in process.
Inspiration is drawn from amongst others: Blue Cheer, Cream, Pentagram and Grand Funk Railroad. In other words: butterfingered, groovy and psychedelic hard rock! So bring forth your bellbottoms and wide lapels....Rock N' Roll is lovely, isnt it?!!

GODSLEEP is a heavy rock band formed in Athens, Greece, in 2010. The same year, the band released a promo album with four tracks, one of which was included in the list with the best rock by the Californian music label “272 Records”. Godsleep, characterised as one of the most promising bands of the heavy/ psychedelic rock sound. The band participated in high profile festivals in Europe, like Freak Valley, Aquamaria and Yellowstock sharing the stage with many bands such as Colour Haze, My Sleeping Karma, Karma to Burn, Kadavar and many others. In May 2015, Godsleep released their debut full-album "Thousand Sons Of Sleep". Now available on vinyl on Rock Freaks Records

WEDGE wurde im Frühjahr 2014 von Kiryk (Gesang & Gitarre), The Holg (Drums) und David (Bass, Orgel & E-Piano) gegründet; drei passionierten Musikern und Party-Kumpels aus Berlin. Benannt nach dem ersten Steinwerkzeug der Menschheitsgeschichte ist ihr Sound simpel, roh und effektiv und verursacht bei richtiger Anwendung Feuer …ganz besonders live! WEDGE, eine High-Energy-Rock'n'Roll-Lokomotive, sind aber im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Bands dieses Genres in der Lage, sehr eingängige Songs zu schreiben, die getrost mit dem Material ihrer Helden der psychedelischen 60er und der hard rockenden 70er mithalten können. Also dreh noch einen, die Anlage auf und fahr's Dir rein!

Berlin/London based heavy doom rock band, LUCIFER, immediately generated a significant buzz when they first descended onto the scene in early 2015 with their debut 7" 'Anubis', followed by their highly anticipated debut album, 'Lucifer I', both released on Rise Above Records. The album single 'Izrael' was released along with a haunting video directed by Sadonis and Chris Koll, partly shot at the bands first ever show in Berlin, has notched up nearly 150000 plays.

Whilst The Oath was a much-celebrated band, following their premature demise, Sadonis wasted no time in creating a new beast to go beyond previous limitations.
Eschewing the now well-worn clichés of the ‘occult-rock explosion’ in favour of a truthful and tempestuous re-imagining of classic 70s proto-metal and heavy doom, the eight songs on this band’s debut album crackle and fizz with burgeoning energy and the compelling conviction of music made for all the right reasons.

Although still firmly rooted in the fertile soil first cultivated by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Blue Oyster Cult, LUCIFER exist in a proudly liberated and limitless sonic realm, where the heaviest doom rock is a mere starting point for the band’s skyward creative trajectory.
