Ancient Fragments
Ancient Fragments is a Modern Metal band implementing Progressive Metal and Djent elements with huge vocal walls and polyrythms. The band was formed in 2018, based out of Barcelona and Vienna, and have showcased with their debut album Vestige (released October 2025) that they're able to create music that's both complex and accessible. Their cinematic songwriting and thematic storytelling, exploring themes of personal struggle and resilience, fuses heavy breakdowns with layered electronic and progressive elements. Their mission is simple: make crowds move, headbang, and get lost in the space between melody and heaviness.

Traversus
Traversus are a Dutch metal band focussed on bridging extremes - both musically and lyrically - blending emotion with technical precision. Their sound combines hard rock foundations with influences from progressive rock and metal to create a dynamic, modern edge. Hailing from the east of the Netherlands, where the rock scene was limited, they refined and honed their sound over multiple years. Their debut EP The Only Way Is Through (2023), produced by Joost van den Broek, introduced their catchy yet layered songwriting and themes of personal and societal struggle. With their follow-up EP Navigate (2025) the band continues to evolve their sound while exploring the challenge of finding direction in a world that has lost its way.
