ARTISTS 2025:
PRESS TO ENTER
Danish progressive metal band Press To Enter strives to combine a wide array of genres to explore a lighter and
more colourful side of metal music. The band was formed in 2020 by bass player Lucas Szczyrbak and guitarist
Simon Laulund, the two soon united with singer Julie Wiingreen.
Press To Enter released their debut album “From Mirror To Road” in the autumn of 2023 to very positive reception
from both fans and critics. The album was released and distributed in Japan by the label VAG (Arch Echo, Jack
Gardiner, Owane).
Since their formation, Press To Enter have performed various shows in Denmark including a sold out show at the
2024 edition of Aalborg Metal Festival. The band has also worked with acclaimed artists such as Evan Marien (Tigran
Hamasyan, Virgil Donati), Nate Hill (Tool, Korn) Adam Bentley and Joey Izzo (Arch Echo, Jacob Collier).
ABANDON AGONY
TROLLHÄTTAN, SWEDEN – The melodic death metal scene has a new force to reckon with: Abandon Agony. Emerging from the depths of Trollhättan in 2023, this powerhouse quintet has been making waves with their high-energy performances and crushing riffs, delivering an electrifying mix of chaos and passion that has captured the hearts of metal fans worldwide.
With a sound deeply rooted in the iconic Gothenburg metal scene, Abandon Agony draws influences from legendary acts like In Flames, Children of Bodom, and Insomnium. Their explosive stage presence guarantees a show where sweat, screams, and headbanging-induced whiplash come included in the price of admission.
The band made their mark with the release of their debut EP, Dark Matter, in the summer of 2024, a record that has not only thrilled fans but also prompted noise complaints from unsuspecting neighbors. Following the EP’s success, Abandon Agony dropped their latest single and music video, The Truth, on November 14, solidifying their position as a rising force in the metal community.
FooN
FooN is a modern metal band here to deliver the soundtrack to the end of the world. With massive walls of sound, grand choruses, and raw energy, FooN provides everything one could wish for from a band riding the wave of baddiecore. It’s colossal and heartfelt at the same time when FooN invites their listeners into a sonic doomsday landscape.
On the live front, FooN has toured extensively in both Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, where the band has received high praise from both audiences and critics. Their show has been described as making any stage resonate like a stadium, with an energy made for larger venues. It’s no coincidence that the band has performed alongside, and held their own with, prominent live acts like Black Foxxes, Odd Palace, and Forever Still.
In 2024, FooN signed with Last Mile Records and released the single “Bloodstream” in September, featuring Adam Rigozzi from the UK band Lastelle. This marked the band's first step into a new era of heavier, darker, and more explosive sound.
KENIO
Kenneth Gustavsson, known by his stage name Kenio, has been a force in the rock/metal industry for 18 years. From his early beginnings in bands like Fairytale Garden and the acclaimed Walking Rumor to touring Europe alongside Ill Niño and Carpark North, Kenio has proven himself as a dynamic artist and performer.
In 2022, Kenio launched his solo career, marking a pivotal moment with the release of his latest album, Shine. The standout single "Forever" resonated deeply, earning the title of Track of the Week twice by Rock Radio UK. Showcasing his commitment to fans, the lead single was chosen during an interactive livestream event, reflecting his passion for fostering meaningful connections with his audience.
Based in Denmark, Kenio is driven by a vision to expand his reach beyond borders, delivering music that speaks to those feeling overwhelmed by life’s struggles. His sold-out performance at Rust in Copenhagen, opening for a UK-based Linkin Park tribute band, exemplifies his growing success as a solo artist.
Beyond his music, Kenio is the founder of Beneath the Music, a management label dedicated to supporting other artists. Whether through his captivating performances, heartfelt lyrics, or industry leadership, Kenio continues to make an enduring impact in the rock/metal world.
NURAXI
A new force in the metal scene is about to erupt. Nuraxi, a powerhouse assembled from seasoned musicians across different bands, is set to make their highly anticipated debut at Metalvation 2025. With an electrifying fusion of influences, Nuraxi is redefining the boundaries of modern metal, blending the anthemic songwriting of Linkin Park, the high-energy pulse of EDM, and the crushing heaviness of Memphis May Fire and Sleep Token.
Although Nuraxi is a fresh name in the scene, its members bring years of experience and expertise to the table, crafting a sound that is both innovative and deeply refined. Their unique approach promises an immersive musical experience that captivates audiences with emotionally charged melodies, dynamic instrumentation, and relentless energy.
Nuraxi’s debut at Metalvation 2025 is just the beginning. With a bold vision and an all-star lineup, they are set to carve their own path in the metal landscape, bringing a fresh and powerful sonic experience to audiences worldwide.
