Artificial Brain return to European soil for the third time, armed with their dissonant, otherworldly vision of progressive cosmic death metal. Joining them on this descent are their Profound Lore Records colleagues Suffering Hour, emerging from the depths for their long-awaited return to Europe with their relentless blackened death assault.
Artificial Brain are a progressive and technical death metal quintet from Long Island, New York. Formed in 2011, they have, since their self-titled demo, merged technical ferocity, alien dissonance, and blackened cosmic atmosphere. With the Butchering Cosmic Giants EP (2013), they caught the attention of Profound Lore Records. Their debut full-length Labyrinth Constellation (2014), shaped under the guidance of Colin Marston, established a dense, cerebral, and claustrophobic sound. Infrared Horizon (2017) expanded their sonic range, tearing through electronic-infused landscapes and crafting new metallic textures. Their latest chapter, the 10-track, 45-minute self titled Artificial Brain (2022), stands as the culmination of a decade-long vision, featuring iconic guest appearances from Mike Browning (Nocturnus) and Luc Lemay (Gorguts) that intensify its sonic atmosphere.

Suffering Hour are a blackened death metal band from Minnesota. Their unique sound garnered high acclaim with their 2017 debut record In Passing Ascension, a guitar-driven slab of nihilistic savagery. This sound was then further explored on their 2019 EP Dwell, a single 18 minute track proving their unrelenting songwriting prowess. The Cyclic Reckoning was a turning point for the band’s style and has since inspired more experimentation and pushing of conventional boundaries within their respective genre. Suffering Hour also released a split entitled Time’s Withering Shadow in 2022 alongside Irish death metal giants Malthusian.
