Big | Brave

In the organizer's words:

Support: Kuntari

Venue: Berghain

A double bill of immersive and experimental minimalist metal and howling primal-core.

Drawing heavy air through cracked bellows to awaken a leviathan that breathes right back, the minimal roots Big Brave draw out branch into crushing expanses of silence-devouring sound. The trio from Montreal construct architecture from ruin, guitars and percussive textures shivering together in configurations so tight they blur between whisper and roar. For this show, they'll be performing their upcoming new album.

Kuntari's sound is birthed in primal-core tectonics where Tesla Manaf and Rio Abror conjure horizons of wild sound, field recordings and complex drums entangling into the rhythm of ancestral blood pounding in your ears. Their path from jazz orthodoxy into this raw ceremonial form drags Indonesian heritage into a fusion of microtonal chimes and dense, earthbound textures.
