you should LISTEN to

ALT. – ‘Conversations That Hurt’

On Alt.'s latest single, ‘Conversations that Hurt’, the quintet have enhanced their uncanny ability to compose progressive euphoric ballads that ignite feelings of floating away for their spectators. Fusing Fixation’s metal-pop experimentation with the passionate fire of Trophy Eyes (the outfit’s vocalist, John Floreani, is a co-writer on this song), Alt. will undeniably be your best FRIENDINTHEDARK again.

Froth & Fury

Expect Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder, Fear Factory (USA), Brand Of Sacrifice (Canada), Dharma (Taiwan), Testeagles, Day Of Contempt, Bodyjar, Hard-Ons, Pyscroptic, Sundowner, Witch Spit, LOLA and so many more across three stages at the festival’s fifth iteration.
