NWN! and HOSPITAL are proud to announce they will be joining forces for a two-day fest of extreme metal and doom electronics to be held April 6th and 7th 2024 in Osaka, Japan. Each label will curate the lineup for one night, bringing some of the best talent from their respective rosters. The enigmatic force known as BEHERIT will deliver their first black metal performance outside of Finland, and one of their first shows since the 1990s. And Canadian black metal tyrants BLASPHEMY will desecrate Japan for the first time under the banner of NWN! DEPARTURE CHANDELIER will also make its live debut as part of NWN!’s lineup. For its part, Hospital will present the legendary GENOClDE ORGAN in Japan for the first time in more than 15 years. A collaboration LP “Carte Blanche” with GENOClDE ORGAN and PRURIENT (the label's flagship project) is now released on Hospital. As a further point of crossover between the labels, Nuclear HoIocausto Vengeance will perform a solo BEHERIT set of electronic/noise on the second night of the fest. This special set will consist of non album material and may feature other members joining NHV on stage. Additionally this unprecedented event will see the return to the stage of Japanese hard noise cult MASONNA. Support the Underground!!!  

This is an all ages event.
