Neue Zukunft (Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin)

Crocodiles — the California-born band led by Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, making loud, dirty rock’n’roll since 2008. Fuzzed-out guitars, psychedelic noise, garage-punk attitude and killer pop melodies somewhere between The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground and The Stooges. Raw, sleazy and catchy as hell, with nearly two decades of records and wild live shows behind them.

Support:

250cc are a French-Italian guitar-and-drums duo based in Berlin, crafting raw, melodic guitar pop through the lens of late ‘60s garage rock and vintage fuzz. Their sound balances immediacy and atmosphere, somewhere between the adventurous spirit of Love, the directness of early garage rock and their own stripped-back minimalism.

•

Foundational math rock and post-metal band Dazzling Killmen, known for strong noise rock and jazzcore elements, have announced their reformation and return to live performances. Founding members Nick Sakes (vocals, guitar) and Blake Fleming (drums, later of The Mars Volta) will perform together for the first time in 30 years, joined by bassist Evan Jagels and guitarist Ben Greenberg of Uniform. Formed in the St. Louis area in 1990, Dazzling Killmen originally consisted of vocalist/guitarist Nick Sakes alongside jazz students Blake Fleming and bassist Darin Gray. The band released four singles, a live cassette and two full-length albums before officially disbanding in 1995, with most of their catalog released on the influential independent label SKiN GRAFT Records. Drawing equally from hardcore punk and jazz, Dazzling Killmen have long been cited by critics and peers as a key influence on the development of math rock and post-metal.

•

Germany’s Prophet & Flesh fuse heavy metal, hardcore punk and filthy rock’n’roll into a sound that is both melodic and crushing. Drawing on everything from Darkthrone, Poison Idea and Entombed to Thin Lizzy and gothic rock, the band deliver sharp riffs, real weight and plenty of unexpected twists.

ÅRABROT + IN*******SE live at Neue Zukunft, Berlin
Wednesday, 18 November 2026, 20:00

• ÅRABROT

Kjetil Nernes is a survivor. He is, for all intents and purposes, the Norwegian rock band Årabrot, who formed in Haugesund in 2001. After stalking the blackened, grimey European noise rock underground for years, a rupturing change came in the form of serious illness in 2014. After contracting a rare and aggressive form of cancer, he nearly died; but the lengthy, painful experience of treatment and recovery gave him the time and space to reconsider his entire life… including his artistic practice.
Speaking from the deconsecrated church in Djura, Sweden, where he lives with his wife, the musician Karin Park and their young daughter, he describes how the illness changed everything: “I struggled out of that period of extreme sickness by writing the last album The Gospel (2016). It was like a big explosion. Because after an explosion you have silence. And in the silence you realise that everything has changed. In that silence, the new record was written.”
After some years The band is up to share their new vibes to the European market.

• In*******se

Connecticut’s self deprecating, noise rock entity, In*******se, unleash their crushing fourth full-length LP. Produced by Chris Teti (The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die).

• is a movement born from the search for self and a counterculture that responds to the social problems they experience daily by creating resonant expressions in music. From Mexico City, they always seek an intimate, cathartic, and chaotic interaction that envelops you in a theatrical narrative, describing their reality through aggressive verses, angular guitars, eclectic rhythms, melodic basses, and sporadic trumpets, creating a raw, direct, and carefree aesthetic.

• is the musical project of Berlin-based Australian expat Jarrod Michael Mahon. After years of self-released home recordings, he debuted with Everything Has a Life in 2023, produced with Syd Kemp (Thurston Moore, Ulrika Spacek, Spiritualized). In 2025, Mahon signed to Unique Records and reunited with Kemp for his second album, the chamber-pop Begin Again, Again, released June 27. Influenced by Sparklehorse, Spiritualized and Daniel Johnston, Mahon’s songs combine intimate pop, chamber strings and guitar feedback. Live, he moves between haunting solo sets and a powerful seven-piece band, having performed at SXSW, The Great Escape and toured with artists including King Krule, Speedy Ortiz and Ariel Pink.

Young Widows (US) + Aicher + LVFT

🗓️ Thursday, 1 October 2026
📍 Kantine am Berghain (Am Wriezener bhf, 10243 Berlin)
🕖 Doors: 19:00 | Show: 20:00

• Formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 2006, Young Widows have spent two decades carving out a singular space between noise rock, post-hardcore and post-punk: heavy, raw and unmistakably their own. After an 11-year pause, the legendary trio returns with Power Sucker, their long-awaited fifth album and one of their most intense and forward-moving records to date. Still as crushing and inventive as ever, Young Widows continue to blur the line between sonic violence and emotional weight. A rare chance to witness one of underground heavy music’s most distinctive bands live.

• Aicher is the solo project of Berlin-based artist Liam Andrews, also known for his work with My Disco and Eros. Built around industrial percussion, metallic textures and heavy atmosphere, Aicher moves between raw intensity and slow-burning tension. Dark, physical and deeply hypnotic, it feels equally rooted in Berlin’s industrial tradition and modern experimental music.

• LVFT is a four-piece outfit delivering a blistering take on noise rock and post-punk. Influenced by titans like Fugazi, Sonic Youth, and U.S. Maple, their music rides the line between earworm melodies and raw, jittery energy. Their sound is steeped in dissonant, feedback-laden guitars and cutthroat punk rhythms.
