From Nottingham (UK) we have Church of the Cosmic Skull, part time seven piece Rock/Prog/Psych/Pop band and a part time spiritual organization that puts “Abba in Sabbath”.
Also coming from the UK, from the Sabbath City of Birmingham Alunah brings their very own Doom/Blues/Psych brand of Hard Rock amped up by ethereal vocal expression of their frontwoman Siân Greenaway.
For more than 15 years Swedish powerhouse Deville have been touring on their signature fusion of Rock, Metal and Stoner. This summer the road brings them to the lovely shores of the Mrežnica river.
Last but not least are Croatia’s very own Malady Lane, a Rock band whose creativity stretches through various realms of Post-Grunge, Alternative, Indie Rock and dreamy lyrics. Their music is compared by many with the spirit of the Seattle scene of the 90’s with its groove and ferocity.
Church of the Cosmic Skull is a spiritual organisation and seven piece Rock group from Nottingham (UK) since 2016. As they like to say, “putting the Abba in Sabbath” since their formation. Combining 7-part vocal harmony with Hammond organ and piano-infused guitar-Rock, Prog, Psych, and Pop, the Church seeks to “spread the light of the Cosmic Rainbow across this planet and beyond”.
In the words of Classic Rock Magazine: the band’s mystical origins and white-robed stage attire carry all the trappings of an early-70’s hippie sex cult, but their sound is rooted firmly in crunching classic-era arena rock. The year 2022 saw the release of their critically acclaimed fourth album, followed by headline tours of the UK and USA. The Church is open to all who observe The 7 Objects; find out more by joining the Cosmic Family and embarking on The Psychic Ascension to Humanity (The Path) in the links below.
Hailing from Sabbath City aka Birmingham (UK), Alunah continue to tread their own path with their signature Doom, Blues & Psych brand of Hard Rock evolved over a number of albums and tours amplified by the ethereal vocal expression of the frontwoman Siân Greenaway, which give the band a completely new dimension.
They’ll be promoting their new album ”Strange Machine” released in 2022 by the legendary Heavy Psych Sounds that are home to Brant Bjork, Nebula, Kylesa and numerous others. In recent times, Alunah toured with the likes of Paradise Lost, The Obsessed and Mondo Generator and have performed at numerous European festivals.
In 2004 in Malmö, faith united four musicians to form Deville, a Heavy Rock band with infectious energy. Armed with their authentic fusion of rock, metal and stoner, they got their first release out in 2006 and began the touring. Since 2004, they’ve released five albums, played more than 500 shows and festivals all over Europe and the USA and have shared the stage with great acts as Red Fang, Sepultura, Torche and many more.
Their latest album ”Heavy Lies The Crown” released in 2022 was prepared for more than a year which made it more diverse than their other albums. There are still grooves, hooks and heavy riffs that the band is known for, but also a lot Metal and Progressive influences that take some songs in unexpected directions. The final result contains everything from sonic journeys to fast Heavy Rock.
Malady Lane is a rock band whose creativity stretches through various realms of post-grunge, alternative, indie rock and dreamy lyrics. Started out as a duo ten years ago they became a full-fledged 4 piece band unit in 2012. Malady Lane’s music is compared by many with the spirit of the Seattle scene of the 90’s with their groove and ferocity.
In alternative circles, they quickly emerged as a must-see live band and one of the most prominent in the House Of Pablo collective, which gathers related bands such as She Loves Pablo, Killed A Fox, Muscle Tribe Of Danger And Excellence and others.
