CONFIRMED - ROTTEN SOUND
Finnish grindcore veterans Rotten Sound have spent more than three decades refining a brutal, politically charged assault that fuses D beat punk, Swedish-style death metal and unrelenting grindcore. Formed in Vaasa, the band built its reputation on short, explosive statements that cut straight to the point, with their early albums still cited as genre benchmarks. Rotten Sound channel rage at social decay, misinformation, consumerism and environmental collapse into tightly wound sonic detonations. Their recent work sharpens that approach: concise, high-velocity tracks that pair blistering blast beats with confrontational lyrics and a grim, modern urgency.

CONFIRMED - SYLVAINE (WITH FULL BAND)
Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Sylvaine (Kathrine Shepard) crafts atmospheric black metal and post-metal that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Since emerging in the early 2010s, she has built a reputation for blending harsh, blackened textures with shimmering shoegaze guitars, delicate synths and soaring vocals, creating a sound that moves fluidly between darkness and light. Sylvaine explores the full spectrum of human emotion: longing, isolation, wonder and transcendence. For listeners who seek metal that is as emotionally nuanced as it is sonically vast, Sylvaine offers a rare combination of vulnerability, ambition and atmospheric power. The Soulcrusher performance will be with full band.

CONFIRMED - BEURRE
Driven by a desire to channel the transformative force of harsh noise and overwhelming loudness, Beurre’s brand of extreme metal takes the shape of mantras and meditations, and veers into the chaotic realms of weirdness and entropy. As ferocious and thunderous as these tracks may be in ex*****on, they are underpinned by fragile threads of hope that weave through and illuminate the bands raw, immersive aura.

With just the energy and presence of the three of them on stage, this radical reduction to bass, drums and voice is conveyed to an absolute maximalism of distortion. Stomping and grounded, shaking and deliberate, they exhaust themselves through their set until the raw intensity of sound merges into a catalytic transcendence. Nothing remains unraveled in this stroboscopic hour of doom, and you may probably leave with a more precise skill of letting things and yourself go, after going through this cleansing ritual of contortion.

CONFIRMED - CROUCH
Crouch emerged from Belgium’s fertile heavy‑music underground as a deliberate counterpoint to speed and flash: a trio built on weight, tension and textural detail. Formed around 2021 by guitarist/vocalist Levy Seynaeve and drummer Wim Coppers, both veterans of Wiegedood and Oathbreaker, the band found its third voice in bassist Jasper Hollevoet of Ventilateur and Siem Reap, completing a lineup steeped in hardcore, post‑metal and noise. After their 2023 EP, Crouch launched their debut album, ‘Breaking the Catatonic State’ in this year. The record sharpens the band’s identity: slow, tectonic grooves collide with jagged, noise‑inflected passages and sudden bursts of hardcore aggression, all delivered with a dynamic control that feels both meticulous and volatile. Perfect ingrediënts to showcase at Soulcrusher!

CONFIRMED - YOB
For over 25 years, Oregon doom masters YOB have carved a singular path through heavy music, where colossal riffs, sky-bound vocals, and spiritual depth collide. Rooted in doom, stoner, and psychedelic sludge, their sound moves slowly yet hits with overwhelming force, pulling listeners into a transformative live experience. Since their debut in the early 2000s, YOB has secured a permanent place in the international doom scene. Albums like ‘Atma’ and ‘Clearing the Path to Ascend’ showcase their ability to merge complex arrangements with emotional intensity that deeply resonates with listeners.

Their live performances are almost ritualistic, featuring a powerful mix of heaviness, dynamics, and hypnotic sonic landscapes as they have proven during Soulcrusher 2018. To see them live on stage is to surrender completely, awash in pulverizing sound. The sheer mass of the music dislodges consciousness from its habitual patterns; dissolve into YOB and you’ll find yourself rewritten upon surfacing.

CONFIRMED - EYES
Copenhagen hardcore outfit EYES return with a ferocious blast of chaos, urgency, and razor-sharp intensity. Built on punishing riffs, volatile rhythms, and Victor Kaas’ unrelenting vocal delivery, the band has carved out a sound that hits with both physical force and emotional weight. EYES thrive in the tension between aggression and atmosphere, channeling frustration, alienation, and existential unrest into songs that feel both immediate and deeply cathartic.

Over the years, the band has sharpened their identity into something unmistakable: fast, abrasive, and totally uncompromising, but always with a sense of purpose beneath the wreckage. Their music doesn’t just explode — it confronts, questions, and burns through the noise with precision. For fans of hardcore that balances sheer violence with intelligence and intent, EYES stand as one of the most vital names in the scene. This is hardcore for people who want more than volume: it’s confrontation, release, and adrenaline in its purest form.
