Kollapse & Grava^DK

A new and multi-headed beast steps out of the darkness and into Roskilde Festival, as the two Danish bands Grava and Kollapse combine their crushing expression and send shockwaves of sound through the festival site.

Both bands are trios and each has made a strong mark on the alternative metal scene with boundary-pushing music that draws on elements of hardcore, doomy sludge and experimental noise rock in the line of bands like Swans. Based on years of friendship and artistic kinship, the idea of a collaboration has been brewing for a long time, and in keeping with the two trios' desire to challenge the boundaries of music, they are going all out with their new special project, which will have its live premiere at Roskilde Festival.

The concert is based on their joint album, which will be released a few weeks before the festival. The album has been created in collaboration with two of Denmark's most legendary producers, punk icon Peter Peter and Flemming Rasmussen, who has written himself into metal history with work for Metallica, Morbid Angel and many more.

The result is dark, visionary and uncompromising as the two bands interpret each other's compositions, challenge each other and together explore a dark universe. Here, monolithic metal riffs, progressive noise rock and ambient textures intertwine in songs that revolve around body, flesh and captivity. A very special experience awaits when they bring their joint project to Roskilde Festival, where all fans of heavy and noisy music have something to look forward to.
