Festival Artists 2024

CYRAX is the meeting of inventive Italian musicians living in the neighborhoods of Milan. All began in 2012, when Marco Cantoni met Antonio Rubuano and Paolo Musazzi, and they instantly started writing music. Based on some original Marcos’s ideas, Cyrax’s songs were written in late 2012, gradually assuming strong progressive and experimental traits. In 2013 Cesare Ferrari and Paolo Biocchi joined the project. In march the group records its debut album, Reflections, which has been worldwide published in october 2013 by Musea. The second album Pictures was recorded during the summer of 2014 and published by Bakerteam Records. At the beginning of 2015 Paolo Musazzi left the band. Tour started in December 2015, and after several line up changes, Gianluca Fraschini and Martin Chionna joined the band and played a crucial role in the composition of the third album. “Experiences”, was released in December 2020 under Wormhole Records. During the recording sessions a young pianist by the name of Jacopo Bonora joined the band, and a few months later Cyrax recorded with him 5 songs for their new ep “Metamorphosis”.

In this new Ep the band chose to re-visit some of their older songs and completely change them, adding new instruments, orchestrations, choirs and much more. The style of these songs is now completely unique to each one of them, and they represent the ever-changing and evolving style that Cyrax adopted as his own.

I Mathela sono una band difficile da categorizzate in un genere musicale, i 4 ragazzi di milano spaziano dal cantautorato psichedelico ad un rock più articolato. Il gruppo dopo essersi fatto strada nel panorama milanese riesce a suonare in molti locali e in numerosi festival. A inizio 2023, preceduto da 3 singoli, viene pubblicato, con l’etichetta PAF Lab Records, il loro primo Ep: “In apparenza”, prodotto insieme a Flavio Bargna. Le 5 canzoni raccontano di una visione riflessiva sulla realtà che ci circonda, narrando la ricerca esigente di un’identità singolare all’interno della società odierna.

Origins:
In the smoldering musical cauldron between Verbania and Domodossola, the powerful flame of Crownlake came to life in 2011. The founding members (vocalist Chris Da Ros and guitarist Aram Kalaydjian) catapulted their musical passions into the abyss of metal, forging a sound that is pure, dynamic, and, let’s say it without mincing words, fucking yeah!

Power Surge of 2022:
New elements join the metal brotherhood as Crownlake experiences a power surge in 2022 with the addition of Alessandro Berini on bass and Andrea Palumbo on drums. These exceptional musicians have brought new levels of power and precision, solidifying the unique sound of Crownlake. This fusion of rebellious minds has birthed a project that goes far beyond traditional musical boundaries, transforming metal into a captivating and irresistible experience.

The Sound:
Crownlake’s sound is a sonic tornado embracing metal in all its forms. From thunderous riffs to frenetic rhythms, their mix of heavy metal, thrash metal, and nu metal is a wild journey that knows no bounds. Armenian ethnic influences intertwine with pure power, adding a distinctive and unexpected touch to their repertoire.

Festivals:
Crownlake has graced the stages of the most iconic festivals, from Grave Party to VooBstock, Pirates of Rock to a triumphant first prize at Bustock (Busto Arsizio) in 2014. Their presence is like thunder resonating, an experience etched in the memory of anyone within their reach.

The Future:
Crownlake shows no signs of slowing down. Their burning flame continues to create emotions, rebellious riffs, and an explosion of energy, soon giving birth to a new EP.
Let’s get the assault started!

I’idea nasce da Andrea “Jimmy” Geraci (voce e autore dei testi) nel 2014. Inizialmente il progetto è pensato unicamente come lavoro in studio fine a se stesso.
Soltanto alla fine del 2021, con l’arrivo di Cristian Pinna alla chitarra e Laura Rivera al basso, alcuni brani precedentemente scritti, vengono riarrangiati e con l’aggiunta di Jean Luca Pinna alla batteria, il quartetto lavora a nuovi brani.

All That Drama è un gruppo originario di Novara, i cui membri sono Lisa Barletta alla voce , Gianluca Poma alla chitarra, Alessandro Prestigiacomo al basso e Massimo Sinatra alla batteria.
La nostra musica è energia, è freschezza, è rock con una bel pizzico di pop, fa divertire ma ti fa anche emozionare. Per noi è fondamentale far trasparire chi siamo attraverso i nostri inediti e creare una connessione con chi li ascolta. Abbiamo suonato in diversi locali del nord Italia e la definizione più adatta per descriverci sul palco è “esuberanti”: l’interazione con le persone per noi è tutto.
