JIG-AI + Arrogante + Catholic

The Czech goregrind mainstay JIG AI has been active in the extreme metal scene since 2005. Over two decades, the band has built a strong reputation not only in Europe but around the world thanks to its uncompromising brutality, catchy riffs and unique visual style.

They have showcased their onstage energy and relentless assault to fans on tours and at festivals across the globe, from the USA, Canada and Mexico through Cuba and Europe all the way to Japan and Australia.

The new release represents the most cohesive and elaborate concept in the band's history so far. Over 26 minutes, JIG AI's new line-up serves up 20 relentless songs that take listeners into the dark corners of Japanese mythology, folk legends, Yōkai demons and the modern monsters of today's society.

Arrogande, grindcore from Stockholm.

Catholic is Sweden's least-known noise rock band. Since its inception, the band has consisted of Johan Strömvall Hammarstedt (Ominous Recordings, JSH) and Oscar Olseryd (ex-Gnomes, Lugncancer). Their music is defined by slapdash, atonal riffs, uncomfortable feedback and absurd time signature changes. Despite a dubious reputation, the band has managed to stay off the country's stages and record shelves.
