About this event
Heretoir has always been pure emotion. The pain of modern life set to music. With their fourth full-length "Solastalgia", the German purveyors of soaring post metal work their way to their innermost core and deliver what is easily their most vulnerable and accessible record to date. Solastalgia describes the grief over the loss of the natural world and the very existence of such a term brutally exposes our alienation from this planet. While some of the albums’ songs deal with environmental issues, others focus on personal feelings and the challenges of human existence in a rapidly changing world. And yet the desperate beauty of "Solastalgia" proves to be an unlikely source of comfort. Heretoir have previously toured Europe, Asia and Latin America and played alongside acts like Alcest, Killswitch Engage or Kalmah and can’t wait to hit the road again in support of their new album. After exploring their dark and grim side on "Nightsphere", their style is now going into a slightly different direction: The songs of "Solastalgia" cover a wide range from Modern Metal to Black Metal to Post Rock to even Screamo. Whatever you want to call it: essentially, this is pure melancholy and a spark of hope in utter darkness. Unreqvited Unreqvited began in 2016 with the release of their debut LP “Disquiet” (Pest Productions). This was followed up by 2018’s “Stars Wept to the Sea” (Avantgarde Music) as well as “Mosaic I” (Northern Silence Productions). Unreqvited then signed a 5- album deal with German dark music label Prophecy Productions and proceeded to release 2019’s “Mosaic II”, 2020’s “Empathica”, and 2021’s “Beautiful Ghosts”. 2025 marked the release of “A Pathway to the Moon”, which was a significant sonic evolution that was heavily crafted with the live show in mind, embarking on a daring and novel exploration into a predominantly lyrical realm and diverging from the traditional Unreqvited sound. Unreqvited made its live debut in 2023 and has since been performing across North America, bringing its atmospheric sound to audiences far and wide. With a commitment to touring as extensively as possible, the project aims to expand its presence worldwide in the coming years. Nidare Nidare craft a sound where atmospheric soundscapes meet the raw intensity of post-black metal, drawing inspiration from Deafheaven, Der Weg einer Freiheit, Amenra and Oathbreaker, while carving out a singular voice of their own. Shaped by cross-continental roots and a shared urge to push the genre’s boundaries, the Berlin band move between atmospheric tension and visceral heaviness with striking emotional depth. After a DIY demo in 2019 and a split release with Welk, Argon and Lazar, Nidare made a strong impression with their debut album Von Wegen (2022) via Through Love Records, followed by Naehe und Flackern and the 2024 EP Es laesst nicht los, ich jedoch laengst. Across more than 120 shows throughout Europe, they have built a reputation for cathartic live performances and an uncompromising approach to post-black metal. Now joined by vocalist Christopher, bassist Yaryna and guitarist David, Nidare continue to expand their sound with new layers and renewed energy. Their second full-length, recorded in 2026 and due in early 2027, marks the next chapter for a band steadily establishing itself as a compelling force in the contemporary metal landscape.
