Orbiter (Finland):
Orbiter is a heavy psych doom band from Helsinki, Finland. The band's sound is a melting pot of crushingly heavy riffs, haunting psychedelia, and hypnotic vocal melodies. Through the power of their songs from the praised debut EP The Deluge (2020) and critically acclaimed debut album Hollow World (2023), Orbiter has established a solid reputation as a strong live band with their atmospheric performances at club shows and festivals in Finland, Germany, Ireland, and Estonia. They have already merited the stages of Finland’s largest heavy psych, stoner, and doom metal music events, such as Sonic Rites Fall Fest 2023, playing alongside internationally famous genre stars Slomatics and Ufomammut; and Desert Hel 2024, sharing the stage with Messa and Tuckfighters. The band's performance on the main stage of the Irish underground metal festival Siege of Limerick in 2024 was a success, and this year Orbiter can be seen in various festivals around Europe. The show in Bristol is the band's first live appearance in England.

NAUT (UK):
Scything guitars meld with cold, melodic synthesisers whilst dancefloor bass lines throb to a larger-than-life drum machine in NAUT's end-times post-punk/dark rock. They create a peerless sound that also invites influences as polarised as 90s-synth pop and black metal. The band's debut album 'Hunt' was released in 2023 through Season of Mist records to ubiquitous acclaim. Kerrang! Magazine proclaimed it: "one of the coolest records of [2023]... genuinely genius" while Metal Hammer described it as: "dark, poetic and visceral... a compelling debut". In 2024, NAUT toured with Creeper and The March Violets, and have played club and festival gigs with numerous great names of the metal and post-punk scenes, such as She Past Away, Ihsahn, The Mission, Tribulation, Grave Pleasures, Discharge and Katatonia, to name a few - illustrating how wide their sonic net (and appeal) is cast.
