Closing out our lineup is Cierń from Berlin, a fantastic post-punk band.
Apologies for the delay with this last announcement, but we're very excited for next week!

Even though they differ a bit from the rest of the line up, we think that Cierń's musical presence will be the perfect finale to our label fest. Sonically, they perfectly round out what we as a label and team envision in crafting a dynamic line up.

Fourth band in the mix!:

The hardcore scene is more alive than ever and there is no better time to just have fun with friends, enjoy live shows and have an outlet for all the s**t that is happening in the world.
This is what „Wonderful World“ stands for.

The project WONDERFUL WORLD started in June,22 in Cologne and their first Demo being released in March,23 Via Room 11 Records.
Sonically, the music is best being described as fast and angry hardcore punk. The lyrics are a big f**k you to the unjust system we are forced to be a part of, but they are also a sweet big kiss to everyone being different, reflecting, changing, questioning and chattenging all the harshness and competitiveness surrounding us.

Tickets for our fest are available and can be found on our Linktree!

Introducing Dignified Burial, a dynamic two-piece duo from Düsseldorf.
Combining elements of gothic, new wave, and indie rock, their sound is a fresh and contemporary take on these genres.
As newcomers, they bring an innovative and modern approach, delivering dark, melodic tunes and compelling rhythms.

Kicking off our label fest, Dignified Burial recently released their new single “Feuertage” last month, setting the stage for an exciting debut soon.

We have planned another show for this year!

Je T'aime (Post-Punk from Paris)
Hyperlilly (Shoegaze from Cologne)

-------------------------------------------

Formed in Paris, JE T'AIME released their first single "The Sound" in spring 2018.
Following the enthusiastic reception of the public for this first musical recording, the band chose to release their first eponymous album in Spring 2019.

After several dates in Europe, including participation in major festivals such as the W-Fest, and the release of the live album LIVE AT GIBUS, the band went back to work on a second album. The first single "Another Day-In Hell" was released in Spring 2021 and the band announces the release of a double album. The first part was released on 14 February 2022 and the
second part “AGGRESSIVE” on 1 November, All Souls' Day.
Since then, the trio has been on the road again to defend this double album.

------------------------------------------

Also on the bill, Hyperlilly from Cologne will be the supporting band at this upcoming concert.
Emerging onto the music scene in early 2023, these newcomers have swiftly made a significant impact already, capturing the attention of a lot of people by now.
Their EP "White Noise", released under "Supervilian", has been nothing short of a blast, solidifying their position as one of the most exhilarating new Shoegaze bands to appear from Europe.

----------------------------------------

We all hope to see you there!

Get ready for the grand finale of our festival lineup as we proudly present the last band to be announced - the phenomenal Kadeadkas!

After Kadeadkas successfully garnered a steadily growing fan community through numerous gigs in the scene and captivating performances at festivals since their formation in 2016, the Cologne-based band has finally released their highly anticipated debut album, "HalluciNation," entirely self-produced.

The band delves into themes of urgency and introspection, exploring lynchings, tyrannies, self-destruction, and personal nightmares. Known for their raw power, their concerts are often likened to transcendent rituals. Drawing inspiration from the Anti-Pop movement and the early UK Positive and Post-Punk styles, Kadeadkas combine energetic drums, driving bass guitar, guitar effects skillfully emphasizing delay, and masterful, emotive vocals, creating immersive soundscapes that perfectly complement Kati's dystopian lyrical narratives.

Thank you for your attention, R11R

ORT came to life when the drummer, notorious for founding the loudest bands in town, and the guitarist also known as drone solo-artist “N” decided to creatively join forces. The initial plan for some sort of experimental collaboration then naturally mutated into a full-fledged band, placing themselves into an instrumental niche between atmospheric yet ultraheavy Doom Metal, tendencies of frenetic Noise-Rock and the occasional side-quest into further ventures like Dub Remixes or electronic experiments.

A lot of qualities have been attributed to the trio by the music press, including a dystopian atmosphere (Rock Hard Magazine), uncommon rhythmic accents with jazzy vibes (Ox Fanzine), and a sound of uncompromisingly powerful pressure (Visions), while influences brought to the table by all three members including even unexpected styles from Drum’n’Bass Music to Death Metal.

But don’t mistake ORT for some kind of fiddly studio entity as the band is known for recording most of their material by actually playing live together, something more uncommon as it should be these days. Their current debut full-length “Verbau” came out on Room 11 Records in 2021 and a bunch of more stuff can be expected in the future.

Attention, attention! Next round:

Get ready to experience the explosive energy of "Thrufall", as they are set for a not-to-be-missed performance.
This group of young musicians have been making waves already in the German hardcore scene and beyond, despite their short existence and thanks to their unique songwriting and intense live shows.

With their acclaimed EP "11", released via R11R back in the summer of 2022, Thrufall has been earning a reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic bands in the genre. They've played shows all across Germany, from small basement venues to major shows shared with some pretty big names, and even ventured beyond the borders to perform in Switzerland.

Originally from Düsseldorf, Thrufall's vibe is inspired by their hometown and their lyrics touch on themes of personal struggle and social injustice, while their sound is a blend of punk, metal, grunge and hardcore.
Their music has earned them a following in the German hardcore scene, and their live shows are known for their intense energy and powerful stage presence.

With that being said and done:
Grab your friends, get your tickets, and join in for some heavy moshing and dancing.
R11R 🤝🏻 Thrufall!

Moral Bombing is a band that truly embodies the spirit of intense and raw emotion in music.
Based in Dortmund, their sound is a powerful fusion of different elements, mixing straight-forward beats to haunting melodies and fast-paced blasts with chugging riffs, that leave you feeling energized and empowered.
But it's not just their music that sets them apart - their lyrics are equally impactful, delving into the depths of personal struggles, social issues, and the ongoing fight for gender equality.

Their first LP made waves overseas, and they followed that up with an EP release in 2022.
With their latest release, Moral Bombing showcases their ability to push the boundaries of traditional genres and represent the new generation of extreme music.
Listening to Moral Bombing's latest release, "vicious cycle of cynical coping," is like being caught in a whirlwind of passion and intensity.
With every beat, every riff, every word, you can feel their unwavering dedication to their craft and their message.

From a couple early live performances to a jam-packed schedule in 2022, Moral Bombing has been set for a mission to keep that impact in 2023.
With a year of a bunch of shows already under their belt, they're set to continue their reign as one of the most exciting bands in the powerviolence/emoviolence scene, with an upcoming schedule that is nothing short of impressive.

First Band to present for our R11R Label fest:

Motor!k

With their latest album "3" , Belgian krautrockers MOTOR!K are adding a new chapter to their discography. While the key elements from their previous albums "MOTOR!K" and "2" ( hypnotic bass lines, pounding drums and repetitive guitar lines) are also presented here, this album is slightly different from its predessecors and explores new musical horizons.

Belgium's guitarist/synthesist Joeri Dobbeleir, also the song composer in MOTOR!K, together with Dirk Ivens - Guitar / FX ( known for his work with The Klinik and Dive amongst others) and drummer Dries D'Hollander are continuing to keep the instrumental Krautrock vibe alive on stage like they proved on Desert Fest and Roadburn to name a few.

As we speak, an exclusive 4 track 7 inch EP "Odessey" is out now on Ant Zen and a 4th studio album is at the pressingplant set for the middle of 2023.

Ambient meets krautrock meets postrock meets shoegaze meets ...... , MOTOR!K takes you on a compelling musical journey through sound from the seventies up till now.
