Arteria + BigMoth + Hesken

Arteria: Born from pure energy and a shared hunger for metal, Arteria is the band that makes the heart in your chest pound. Formed in December 2024, they forge brute force and melody together into a sound that strikes relentlessly and carries along. With four seasoned musicians from the scene they bring an unfiltered intensity to the stage, where aggression merges with emotion and every note penetrates to your bones. Whether it's razor-sharp riffs, thundering grooves or hypnotizing melodies, Arteria drives pure metal through your veins.

Bigmoth: The band Bigmoth delivers an immersive performance full of raw energy, layered grooves, unusual song structures and intriguingly powerful vocals. Bigmoth takes you from refined, progressive metal to raw, all-crushing energy. The diverse cultural backgrounds, musical influences and enormous passion for heavy music of the band members come together in a powerful performance. For all of this you might as well blame bands like Meshuggah, Periphery, Tesseract and many others.

HESKEN: HESKEN is a Dutch metal band from Zwolle, founded in 2018. In 2023 they made a powerful entrance into the scene with their debut alongside Changing Tides and have since played with e.g. Nephylim and Bloodbath, receiving praise from both audience and critics. Their debut album Architect of Chaos, a unique mix of Opeth, Gojira, Death and Tool, received national attention from e.g. Kink Distortion, Radio Lelystad, MetalFromNL and Zware Metalen, and marked a promising start for this progressive formation.
