Founded in 1999 by Anja and Alex Hunzinger, Aeternitas released their first and very well-received concept album “requiem” in August 2000, which combined a variety of different styles (from classical to metal elements). The success of this album encouraged Anja and Alexander to build a performing band, to bring their songs to the stage.
Programmable Animal is focused on the idea that all individuals are influenced by their surroundings. Stemming out of Chicago, the band derives its sound from the hammering of industrialized rock/metal tones with a touch of ambience. Led by frontman Drepsea, Programmable Animal aims to create a visceral, cathartic, and soulful experience with its audience. The band’s first album, “End of the Tail” was self-released and produced in 2018. Following the release, Programmable Animal has toured in the US as well as opened for numerous national acts such as Orgy, Powerman 5000, Dope, HED PE, and more.
Hailing from the colorful, culture-rich streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota comes the unique sound of industrial rock outfit: Gabriel and the Apocalypse. The band delivers a chaotic, head-turning performance that drips with excess aggression, sex, and the female ferocity of frontwoman: Lindy Gabriel. Years ago, Lindy breathed life into this creature-of-a-project. With a few heavy-hitting albums, national tours, and a solid new lineup, it has since developed into a fully-fledged, national performing force that carries the old industrial torch into the new generation.
Kissing Candice is an industrial metal band based out of Long Island, NY (although every member now lives in a different state) with as much of an emphasis on horror-tinged theatrics as their crushing music. Beginning as just an idea in 2012, Kissing Candice developed their sound, image, and stage antics over the years until they are where they are now… After many tours with high profile artists and massive festivals, Kissing Candice grew into the beast they now are. Having released 3 EP’s, and 1 full length, along with a multitude of singles to fill the space, Kissing Candice is now ready to drop their 2nd full length. Postponed by the global pandemic, Kissing Candice has been using this time to make sure everything is perfect for this album so they can open the gates of Hell with this full length of all brand new songs! Filled with a refined sound which the band has been working towards over the years, they believe they are musically at their best and looking their absolute sharpest!
