A 2 day celebration of independent rock music and poster art! ANEKDOTEN - 21:30 -
Anekdoten are considered one of the leading bands in contemporary progressive rock. Their intensive, dark, dynamic
and original music has made an appeal among metal- and rockfans all over the world. They combine their 70's influenced
progressive rock (King Crimson, Pink Floyd) with a more contemporary sound, plunging deep into their very own universe. The band has a reputation as a great live act and they have been touring in Europe numerous times, played in the USA three times and Japan twice. They also performed in Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
Anekdoten’s music also shows affinity with contemporary bands like Mono, Motorpsycho or Porcupine Tree.
The Swiss instrumental four-piece of Monkey3 appeal to stoner, post rockers and metal lovers alike.
The band makes heavy spacerock with Tool-inspired interplay, Pink Floyd like atmospheres, the heaviness and futurist
keyboards of Ufomammut, conjuring epic visions like Mono, and is also groovy as 35007 and in your face like
Karma to Burn. And oh yeah, they created their own very recognizable sound! The band’s reputation as a tight
live act got confirmed with a stunning Roadburn appearance last year. This year, their new album
Beyond the Black Sky got released via Stickman Records.

Temple of Nothing is a belgian doom-stoner band formed in 2010 by 4 long time friends with a strong experience in
the rock/metal scene (Set The Tone, Gog Of Magog, ...). UFOMAMMUT - 21:30 -
With long songs, droning vocals and massive effects Ufomammut is right there along side of Neurosis, combining their monumental riffing attitude with the psychedelia of the more visionary Pink Floyd.
Latest work Eve is a monstrous, dynamic album with atmosphere, huge riffs, and psychedelic touches all arranged into very well written segments. The album got voted for 'Roadburn Album Of The Year' and the Ufomammut live show, supported by the internationally acclaimed video and graphic art of Malleus, was one of the highlights of the Roadburn festival 2011!

With just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, White Hills weaves in and out of anthemic chants,
deep space bleeps and other worldly madness for a mix that proves to be intoxicating. Since the release of the band's
debut CD, listeners have been praising their originality and unique brand of heavy space rock. White Hills formed
out of the need to forge Space Rock into the 21st Century.

MoRkObOt is an Italian trio consisting of three men (Lin, Lan and Len) with cubic heads who create their music
with only two basses and a drumkit, yet the sound is incredibly intense. The band is signed to the Supernatural
Cat label and after the self titled album and Mostro, the trio has realized Morto, a single long track.
Drums here are not only the pace-maker, they are a world in themselves, an ever changing dance of various drum-sounds.
The bass-guitars are used so, that you can hardly recognize bass and go from buzzing, screeching and grinding sounds
to strong heavy riffs.
