Violent Magic Orchestra (JP)
A furious, kinetic fusion of black metal, techno, industrial music, noise and gabber, VMO make an unclassifiable racket, conducting massive A/V spectacles that assault the senses and upset the status quo. Their 2016 debut album 'Catastrophic Anonymous' pitted core members Vampillia and Kezzardrix against fringe luminaries like Mayhem's Attila Csihar, Yellow Swans' Pete Swanson and The Body's Chip King, and their latest adds Gabber Modus Operandi's Ican Harem, Dylan Walker from Full of Hell, Infinity Division, Gabber Eleganza and Kælan Mikla. Described as 'DEATH RAVE', it's pop music for the end of the world - "the soundtrack to dance, riot and escape into eternity."
