Golden Apes + This Eternal Decay

In the organizer's words:

GOLDEN APES + THIS ETERNAL DECAY

Golden Apes

The Golden Apes unite emotional post-punk and indie rock with profound lyrics and create their very own sound cosmos by combining traditional goth rock and wave influences from the 80s and 90s with modern, electronic and experimental elements. Their musical influences range from legendary bands such as Joy Division, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, Nine Inch Nails and Type O Negative to current acts such as Editors, White Lies and Interpol.

Singer Peer's visually stunning lyrics address the abysses of interpersonal relationships and the often momentous, not always correct decisions that result from them. His deep black, sonorous vocals guide the instruments, which swing from hopeful melancholy to chaotic inferno, safely to their destination. When the guitars melt into a powerful tapestry of sound between flowing melodies and epic chords, carried by driving bass and pulsating drums, an atmosphere is created that entices you to dream and dance in equal measure.

The Golden Apes have already played at renowned festivals throughout Europe and completed several tours of the USA and Russia. They have shared the stage with timeless scene icons such as And Also The Trees, The Chameleon Vox, Pink Turns Blue and Clan of Xymox, as well as with currently popular acts such as She Past Away, Whispering Sons, Traitrs, Motorama, Then Comes Silence and Actors. Their tireless international tours and their visually stunning live sound, which captivates concertgoers, have earned the band a steadily growing worldwide fan base.

This Eternal Decay

This Eternal Decay is an industrial dark wave band founded by Riccardo Sabetti (Spiral69), Pasquale Vico (Date at Midnight), Andrea Freda (Spiritual Front) and Alessio Schiavi (Avant-Garde). Their music fuses the romantic charms of darkwave with industrial beats and synthpop echoes to create a unique, haunting sound.

Their debut album I Choose an Eternity of This quickly caught the attention of fans and critics alike. Just two months after its release, the band embarked on a tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, sharing the stage with Samsas Traum twice in the same year.

The current chapter begins with SPETTRO, the new album, which was released on January 10, 2025 - two years after ABSØLUTIØN.
