MONOSPHERE:
There aren’t many bands following the same path as Monosphere. Being fully independent from day one, the Mainz-based prog/post-metal/core-avantgardists have been following their own artistic vision with endurance and sheer will. An unbroken ambition that brought them worldwide attention and international shows in 19 different countries on several tours. Not only did they tour with genre icons like Between The Buried And Me (who brought them through whole Europe on their The Blue Nowhere Run), Wheel, DVNE, Rolo Tomassi and The Hirsch Effekt – Monosphere have been picked as a direct support act by bands like Karnivool, Wage War, The Ocean, Cradle Of Filth, Napalm Death and Ne Obliviscaris. The list goes on with supports for uprising artists such as Gaerea, Signs Of The Swarm, Car Bomb, Humanity’s Last Breath and many more. All making Monosphere’s albums “The Puppeteer” (2021) and“Sentience” (2023) fit so well within these band’s diverse sonic spheres.
In March 2026, while touring Europe with BTBAM, Monosphere dropped their third studio album “Amnesia” which was praised by international press for their versatile, yet uniquely blended style that has become a category itself. Holding their strongest material to date in their hands, only the future will tell where it will take them. Their unresting power, often seen during their explosive liveshows, only gets bigger and bigger with each step they take.
FEATHER MOUNTAIN:
Copenhagen-based progressive metal band FEATHER MOUNTAIN was founded in 2017. Their music combines the intensity of metal with dreamy alternative rock and as the band name implies, the music and visual aspects of the band are full of nuances. FEATHER MOUNTAIN has a live show of storytelling and a feminine masculinity. Illuminated by a unique light set-up, the band invites the listener into a universe where vulnerability and aggression nourish each other. Their previous albums have garnered international recognition, receiving an 8/10 score by Metalhammer UK, as well as a 10/10 by German metal magazine Soundmagnet citing Feather Mountain deliver a work that is simply brilliantly played and results in conceptually coherent progressive metal with heart and brain. Already established as one of the best Danish progressive metal bands, FEATHER MOUNTAIN has played at Roskilde Festival, When Copenhell Freezes Over, and Euroblast. They’ve toured the Nordic countries with VOLA and released their latest album, 'A Liminal Step', at a sold out release show in Copenhagen in November 2025. The album was inspired by the world of tarots and delved with the band members' experiences with mental illness. 'A Liminal Step' was praised by reviewers internationally, gaining a 5 / 6 from Danish Gaffa, nominated as album of the year by The Progspace and gaining a top score from Stormbringer.at citing: "I have rarely heard a record where the sensitivity to musical realms is so richly presented. Hear every nuance, every stroke, every tone fits."
