On October 18th and 19th this year, the inaugural DMP label festival will take place at Resonanzwerk in Oberhausen, Germany. The Servants Of Chaos festival, a collaborative effort with Parasite Gallows Booking, promises to be a landmark occasion. We are delighted to announce the first trio of bands set to perform:

ARCHGOAT: Prowling the depths since 1989, this iconic and singular Finnish Black Metal band has helped define the genre. Mainstays Lord Angelslayer and Ritual Butcherer have made a mark on the era with a series of classic albums and crushing live performances. Their appearance at our festival is an exclusive show in Germany for 2024! Discover the brutal intensity of the band’s live shows here and experience their latest album, “Worship The Eternal Darkness”:

THROANE: Conceived by the acclaimed artist, graphic designer and musician Dehn Sora (ULCERATE, BLUT AUS NORD, CHURCH OF RA), THROANE fuse Dark Ambient, Industrial, Noise, Black Metal and Sludge into a uniquely intense creative vision. THROANE’s live performances are rare and exceptional events, and promise an unparalleled audio/visual experience. Witness an example of their compelling live artistry here, and explore the depths of their most recent album, “Plus une main à mordre”:

AVERSIO HUMANITATIS: Formed 2010 in Madrid, this Spanish ensemble has consistently produced unyielding and dissonant Black Metal of the highest quality. Their latest work, “Behold The Silent Dwellers” (2020), conjures a deeply intense, haunting atmosphere, reminiscent of ghostly city ruins. Their performance at the Servants Of Chaos festival will be the band’s momentous debut on German soil and their first venture outside Spain/Portugal. Check out a live performance here and immerse yourself in their recorded work:
