REZN & KHAN

In the organizer's words:

Chicago-based doom & heavy psych meets stoner psych from Melbourne.

Chicago-based cosmic quartet REZN have dredged up the cold, monochrome depths of underground metal and fused it with the kaleidoscopic delights of psychedelia, prog rock and shoegaze. From the outset, the band was fiercely independent, with a consummate aesthetic and an ardent cult following. As accomplished technicians, experienced sound engineers and seasoned DIY veterans, REZN have managed to create a body of work that allows no sonic compromise in their speaker-rattling dirges and intoxicating lysergic forays.
Their four self-released albums - Let It Burn (2017), Calm Black Water (2018), Chaotic Divine (2020) and Solace (2023) - have all been pressed multiple times on vinyl with no distribution or retail presence, and the international underground heavy psych world has routinely selected the band for prominent festival slots in North America and Europe.

Support: KHAN

Australians KHAN are stylistically situated between psychedelic rock, stoner and progressive soundscapes. With atmospheric density and powerful riffs, they create soundscapes characterized by industrial crescendos and multi-layered dynamics. The songs often deal with themes such as loss, isolation and inner turmoil - carried by an intense lyrical depth. The vocals alternate between floating falsetto, hypnotic chanting and expressive lamentation, interspersed with powerful, guttural outbursts.
