Nihilista

Nihilista was born in Breslau. Growing up on the outskirts of civilization. His first lullaby was the sound of post-communist factories. Initially involved in punk subculture, and then slowly dissolving into the industrial and the occult scenes (Der Sieg, Quadriga Sexualis). In 1999 he moved to London, which has been his harbour ever since. Penetrating the underbelly of London's nightlife, he's active in both the occult and fetish communities. During the recording of the "Divine Misanthropy" album, the band gained a new member - in the shape of Goter.

Doomriders

Boston's DOOMRIDERS are sonically antisocial and undeniably unforgettable as they come. DOOMRIDERS are comprised of a stellar lineup featuring Nate Newton (Converge, Old Man Gloom), along with longtime friends Jebb Riley (There Were Wires, Disappearer), Chris Pupecki (Cast Iron Hike), and JR Conners (Cave In). The demon child of their collective unhealthy obsession with Classic Rock, Hardcore, and Skateboarding, DOOMRIDERS are a rare beast in today's music world. Their soulful no frills approach conjures the spirits of Thin Lizzy, Entombed, and damn near every evil in between.
