Multi-perspective experiences, critical reflection, hedonism, & collaborative learning

On July 29, Japanese trio return to open the pit at , pre-scourged by industrial punks . A luminous and verminously gnarled black hole of hardcore black metal rave, Violent Magic Orchestra are entropy and energy copulating furiously, ripping apart floor and ear, suffocating guitars and throat-shred ejaculations perforating the eardrums as machines hammer like rabid gods. PΞB open the night with a feverish and brutal theatrical assault, drenched in distorted beats, twisted electronics, and explosive vocals.

The Berlin debut of alien black metallists Krallice on October 13 opens with an aural tear in the fabric of reality. Built almost entirely electronically from modular synthesis, Rashad Becker's dense microtonal environments shape artificial voices and unstable interactions that breathe with uncanny organic life. Narratives mapping uncharted fictional realms recur heavily in his work, ephemeral realms where no single aesthetic reign dictates form; rather, an infinite tapestry of sonic diversity flourishes in boundless variation.

One week left before the ancient rituals and brute modernity of Kuntari opens our June 3 concert night with . The duo of Tesla Manaf and resurrect and reconfigure dissect traditional Indonesian rhythms, roto toms snarling with clipped resonance as Tesla’s percussive guitar transforms into an instrument of raw, thrumming power.

Across an enormous and relentlessly prolific discography, Krallice have incorporated elements of progressive metal, minimalism, avant-garde composition, ambient music and spectral drone without sacrificing brvtal intensity. Dissonance, cyclical structures and hallucinatory atmosphere reign triumphant.

We're proud to host their Berlin debut on October 13; don't miss this blackened alien journey 🤘

Making their Berlin debut in a rare European appearance, few bands push black metal as far outside its own architecture as Krallice . Since their formation they've steadily dismantled metal orthodoxy, moving towards increasingly alien territory: folding relentless tremolo riffing into labyrinthine rhythmic structures, their dissonant harmonies and longform compositions feel suspended outside normal pacing.

Tickets sales start Tuesday May 26th at 11am.

Returning to Berlin with a new A/V set on August 20, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U brings the high-velocity selections he’s become beloved for: ra.co/pre/2440034 One second ramming industrial techno beats into gabber and breakcore, the next threading together trance, anime soundtracks and gqom without losing control or momentum for a second—a brilliantly deranged form of live composition assembled at occult speed via CDJs, and all without a shirt.

Pre-registration is now open on Resident Advisor, with presales starting May 25 from 15:00 💦
