The line-up: — GENOCIDE SHRINES Black/death metal from Sri Lanka A line has been drawn in the sand. Choose your allegiance carefully. For GENOCIDE SHRINES are a piercing trishul thrust into the heart of the dogmatic weakling. A burning hatred guides the striking blow at the golden tower looming overhead. There is no time for over-wrought melodies or wheel-reinventing complexity when a cleansing eradication is the modus operandi. Whether it be by spiritual fire or firing squad – the message is clear: fall in line or suffer at the hands of the reclaimers! The balance between black Dharmic inversion and a swift rifle-butt to the face has been struck once again. Continuing the established tradition set forth, the loose mania of previous executions has sharpened into a spear-point. Hasty formlessness echoing the peers of old has given away in favour of a militant precision and chaotic, sickening tones. Volley after volley of razor-sharp gun blasts provide rhythmic terror as a well-oiled machine hammers away. Commandments issue forth intolerance from a place of morbidity, calling for the fall of the ultimate enslaver. Truly a DEATH METAL essence has found a foothold in the ideology of the enemies of the Manushya race! Using the cultural weapons of the enemy against him, GENOCIDE SHRINES strikes at the ignorance of the blissfully unaware with a keen perspective of their own DEATH. One step ahead of the herd. All and Nothing! Re-desecration of the Bharat is imminent, salutations to all die hard fanatics of the Shrines as total uncompromising desecration awaits once again, in homage to where it all started...

AEMPYREAN intend to deliver nothing short of loud, savage and profane metal. They have already earned a strong following in the local underground after playing a few shows in India. Clocking in at nearly 23 and a half minutes and raging with an unholy intensity, AEMPYREAN unleashed their debut EP 'FIREBORN' worldwide in 2018. Four original creations (including an interlude) and a tribute to Morbid Angel’s legendary track “Chapel of Ghouls” forebode the ominous arrival of AEMPYREAN in the subterranean domain of extreme metal. AEMPYREAN are not here to fuck around - they are here to rip you with all the force of a chainsaw tearing through bone.

India has seen it all but what was missing was an industrial metal act. The project came into existence when Telal Xul and Rohit Raghupathy (Antakrit) decided to take matters into their own hands due to the inactivity of the band and musicians' linear approach. And rather than approaching anyone else, the duo thought of making music that comes from minimal and abstract ideas. The idea was to create something fresh and completely different from what they were doing in Antakrit. Their influences come from different angles and music genres, starting from television, current affairs to social media, new wave 80s pop, industrial metal to doom metal, ambient music, and avant-garde metal. FHM’s set at Spectral Decay 4 is going to have a mix of dark synth, sludge, doom and a lot more. Expect nothing short of a sonic earthquake.
