The Swiss tech death shooting stars comment:
“Super excited to be back in France and Spain this year, supporting one of our long term favorite bands in the genre. To say we feel humbled The Black Dahlia Murder wanted us on their tour would be an understatement. Hope to see all of our French and Spanish supporters at these shows!”

When a relatively unknown Swiss band released their debut album ‘Illuminance’ in 2016, only insiders suspected the massive impact it would stir. Yet it was on the strength of this release that VIRVUM were offered to sign on Season of Mist. Now their new home is reissuing ‘Illuminance’, which is to be available on vinyl for the first time.
VIRVUM were founded by childhood friends in 2007 and since then the aspiring and hard-working musicians continuously fine-tuned and honed the tracks of their first full-length to match their burgeoning skills.
VIRVUM first got noticed when guitarist and main songwriter Nic Gruhn happily took the offer to join a European tour with California’s progressive death metal pioneers FALLUJAH while also opening for such renowned bands as SUFFOCATION and CEPHALIC CARNAGE in 2013. On the return of their guitarist, VIRVUM immediately set out to perform as many shows as possible in order to establish the band in Europe.
In 2015, a first single entitled ‘Internal Howl’ attracted immediate attention and, that same year, VIRVUM were picked to internationally support big names such as DYING FETUS, FLESHGOD APOCALPYSE, and DEFEATED SANITY among others.
In advance of their self-released debut full-length, VIRVUM received a massive response for the song premieres of “Ad Rigorem” and title track in 2016, while the album was highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
With their professional attitude, the exceptional technical prowess of each individual musician, and last but never least the outstanding collective songwriting skills, the Swiss are now ready for the next step. While VIRVUM create a new monstrous record in studio, their amazing debut ‘Illuminance’ is made available again.

Another two bands have been added to the billing of PARTY.SAN METAL OPEN AIR 2018. In case you have not purchased your ticket be quick and do it here: www.cudgel.de
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER confirmed for PARTY.SAN METAL OPEN AIR 2018. Since their debut with Unhallowed back in 2003, the band has built an immense following, thanks to their extreme talent of melodic death metal and theatrical live shows. Emotionally rich vocals and violent storytelling meets brilliant instrumentation that is both hectic and technical, creating truly evil music for the fans of that genre.
Origin: USA
Style: melodic Death Metal
Roots: Dissection, At The Gates

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voxtdphvP5k
HIEROPHANT’s brutal brand of blackened death metal and sludge eviscerates and slams in a nonstop motion of extreme sonic force. This Italian unit has been serving the forces of revolutionary modern death metal since their self-titled debut six years ago, and Mass Grave(2017) may genuinely be their heaviest album to date. HIEROPHANT are fantastic old school style death metal rippers, and right up your alley if you reminiscence on early Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, or Obituary.
Origin: Italien
Style: Death Metal
Roots: Bolt Thrower, Behemoth
