Settima

Settima is a project that lies in between music and performance art. The name in itself means "the seventh daughter" in Italian, which alludes to the belief that the seventh born is granted with magical powers. The themes reflect on the dual cultural background of the performer and attempts to unite both Italian and English figures of tradition folklore.

The sound blends power electronics, metal vocals and the theatricality of Dungeon Synth.

In her latest project "I curse my caring nature" she writes about religious trauma, bigotry and the devastating impact of patriarchy on women's life and bodies.

Settima embodies the aggressive and monstrous feminine, challenges the ageist standards of the entertainment industry and reclaims women's sexual power as their own, not as an accessory for the male gaze.

Lucifer Sky

Lucifer Sky is the solo project of multidisciplinary artist Indira Lakshmi and it's a series of viscerally personal experiments in noise. Weaving together cut up field recordings, tape noise, DIY piezo contraptions, visual data flow programming and synthesis to create a blown out auditory landscape, riding the juncture between emotive discord and pure abrasion.

Cariad

CARIAD is a London based all-female death metal duo, making music inspired by classic brutal death and deathgrind bands like Goregasm, Mortician and Brutal Truth. Their songs invert typical death metal tropes of misogynistic violence, taking influence from feminist rape-revenge horror films to cast murderous women as their lyrical protagonists. CARIAD is amy on guitar, Morwenna on bass and vocals, and an analogue drum machine all blasting hard enough to kill your piece of shit husband/boyfriend/father/brother.

Lilliput Moss

Lilliput Moss hails from the ruins of Coventry, using junk metal, taped loops and high gain distortion for an audio assault inspired by the works of James Spader and early imageboard culture on one side and explosive deathmatch wrestling on the other. The former more introspective and piano led while the latter is far more in your face and destructive.

Anon Dred

Anon Dred offers dark and brooding textures from a wide range of industrial/electronic and noise.
