XAON
“Never quite fitting in any of the numerous galleries metal has to offer, drifting through the extremes whilst juxtaposing finesse and vehemence, exploring the vast echoic gloominess of the human mind. You can simply call it DARK METAL”: this is how the Swiss, Sion-based band describes their brainchild.
After a successful european tour with gothic metal monsters Sirenia and folk metal legends Tyr promoting their debut EP Face Of Balaam, the combo led by Vincent Zermatten (guitars) and Rob Carson (vocals) took their alchemical artistry up a notch with the release of their debut album The Drift through Sliptrick Records.
Xaon also performed at several large festival shows with the likes of Paradise Lost, Eluveitie and Rotting Christ. More recently, the group has set foot for the first time in the USA, toured in Japan while supporting Obscura and is ready to take the rest of 2018 by storm and proving themselves as an upcoming force around the world. Do not miss the band’s performance at Rock The Castle on 30th June!

EGOSYSTEMA
Egosystema started out in the Spring of 2013, initially featuring current bass player Davide Porcelli on the drums and Cristiano Gallo (vocals). Back then, the band played a brew of US-influenced hard rock, with the added twist of writing lyrics in their mother tongue. After several line-up changes and the inclusion of heavier, yet progressive elements, however, the addition of Riccardo Lorenzini (vocals) and Luca Birocco (guitars) in 2016 eventually turned the group into a five piece. Soon enough, Egosystema was ready to record their sophomore album, Change Reality – produced at DP-Sound studios. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, the album concept tells the story of a love triangle – and the fights, revenge and ripercussions it brings about.
The band has recently completed a European tour with Swedish legends Katatonia (as well as a Ukrainian tour with local hard rock heroes Detach) and is now expected to perform at Rock The Castle on June 29th.
Egosystema are: Riccardo Lorenzini (Vocals) | Luca Birocco (Guitar) | Davide Porcelli (Bass) | Samuele Costanzo (Drums) | Davide Cristofoli (Keyboards & Synths)
