Bandinfo(s)

Ophelia’s Eye (CH)

War im Estrich | 26. August 2022 | 21. März 2026

Ophelia’s Eye is a modern metal band from Switzerland, combining relentless heaviness with emotional depth. The current lineup has been playing together for over a year and a half, shaped by new energy, musical maturity, and a clear artistic vision.

With our second album Severance, we take a bold step forward: Thematically more daring, musically more diverse, and lyrically more intense than ever before.

Ophelia’s Eye explores the darkest corners of the human psyche, as well as social injustice and the growing sense of disorientation in a world on fire.

Our distinctive sound blends sharp-edged riffs, fast drums, and a vocal range that seamlessly moves between raw aggression and haunting clarity. Clean vocals have become an essential part of our sonic identity, alongside technical brutality and atmospheric depth.

The name Ophelia's Eye remains as a symbol of a vision that goes beyond what the eye can see.
Our music is a powerful form of expression that reflects both the light and the shadows in our world, and engages every listener who embarks on this intense journey.

Taoist (CH)

War im Estrich | noch nie!

Taoist is a post-grunge-infused hardcore band from Zürich, Switzerland
founded in the Summer of 2024. What started as a fun side project by
Whiteout’s guitar player is slowly turning into something more.
While some prefer hard-hitting heavy riffs and breakdowns and others
prefer melodic post-grunge choruses, Taoist has decided to implement
both into their sound. Imagine Staind two-stepping in the pit while Creed is
wheelhouse-kicking the sh*t out of some teenagers. Well, that is what
Taoist stands for.
Taoist fully released their debut album “The Nature Of Wild Things” by the
end of Summer 2025. This album includes every kind of inspiration and
influence you might imagine.
The DIY spirit is very present, as the band writes, produces and releases
their material by themselves. 100% DIY.

Before the Decay (CH)

War im Estrich | noch nie!

A mix between harsh screams and soft cleans paired with impressive instrumentals defines Before The Decay. The metalcore band from Switzerland is ever changing and evolving, but still staying true to their own writing style. With the release of their debut EP “Awakening” the five musicians laid the foundation for their style, always working to improve their musical craftsmanship and develop their music but also themself as persons. Drawing inspiration from current events and their personal experiences, the lyrics are equally profound as their musical style.

Obsydiant (CH)

War im Estrich | noch nie!

Melodic Metal aus dem Zürcher Unterland, der Herz und Nacken gleichermassen packt. Mit druckvollen Riffs, epischen Orchesterarrangements und einer packenden Livepräsenz liefert Obsydiant energiegeladene Shows, die im Gedächtnis bleiben.
