ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: SERENE AILMENT

Oceans of relentless audible decay, littered with buoys of light; Serene Ailment is the long running dark ambient/power electronics project of highly accomplished industrial artist and multi-instrumentalist Lulu Collard (Ashbel, Uboa, False Animal, Dubhessa, and many more).

Her relentless experimentation and devotion to their craft have built an intoxicating palette of q***r noise that is all at once splittingly harsh, serenely melancholic, hypnotizing, rotting and unbearably anxious. “A self-found order in chaos”, Serene Ailment bypasses your conscious mind and shouts directly into your limbic system.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: KÜNTSQUÄD

The band is best described as crusty death metal unit featuring unique gutturals from their female vocalist, with a soundscape that is heavily riff based offering a down tuned churn, interspersed with blast beats and fast paced blackened interludes. Over the years the soundscape has evolved into a non generic blend of the extreme/ heavy metal genres, which may include death/black/doom metal and crusty influences without really belonging to any of these genres. Lyrically, the band offers a decadent array of preposterously titled tunes with enough satirically charged minimalist content to drive that down tuned churn into chaos.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: CHIFFON MAGNIFIQUE

Chiffon Magnifique is the darkwave project of Brisbane artist Jed A. Walters, blending post-punk, goth rock, and minimal wave into a haunting and atmospheric live experience. Emerging from the shadows of the debut album Anxietika, the project combines melancholic melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and cinematic textures with a distinctly modern gothic edge.

Entering a new creative era, Chiffon Magnifique continues to push into more experimental territory, reworking older material while introducing unreleased compositions shaped by tension, mood, and evolving sonic landscapes. The result is a performance that feels immersive, intimate, and constantly transforming.

The Ossuary (Bendi Main Room) - A shrine to brutality and all things heavy
The Void (Bendi Upstairs) - A chamber devoted to noise, ambient, drone and experimental
The Black Hearts Lodge (Nighthawks) - A sanctuary of goth, darkwave, post-punk and nocturnal romance

Headlining Black Planet 2026 is - One of metal's most uncategorizable acts, THE AMENTA have been synthesising the ugliest aspects of death, black, and noise into a unique maelstrom for over 25 years. Well known across the world for their intense live shows, THE AMENTA combine speed, anger, and weird sound with smoke and strobes to create a brutal, overwhelming experience.

Since 1988, EDEN has been a defining voice in Darkwave and Post-Punk, delivering immersive, emotionally charged live performances. With their signature blend of rich guitar textures, haunting vocals and powerful rhythmic drive, EDEN has shared stages with Rowland S. Howard, These Immortal Souls, and Lycia and appeared at major events including Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Leipzig, 2017). EDEN has released five albums and two EPs internationally. EDEN are Sean Bowley (vocals, 6- & 12-string guitars), Anthony Cornish (bass, keyboards, production), and Ingo Wieben (drums). With a new album on the way for 2026, the band continues to shape its sound—ethereal, emotional, and enduring.
