SLAVESTATE INVITES:

CZLT (Live)
Born in Nîmes (FR), now working in Brussels (BE), GUILLAUME CAZALET (CZLT) — headliner of NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM (NNMM), ZAÄAR, ÔROS KAÙ, SOL KIA, Jenny Torse, Aksu — begins his solo act by working for contemporary artists Felix Luque & Iñigo Bilbao for the art video masterpiece JUNKYARD, by recording deep drone metal soundscapes like SOMA’s work (sunnO))) ). From this work, he produced JUNKYARD, his first album by combining the traditional classical sitar with a drone metal guitar approach. This was the starting point of CZLT project, released by Ascetic Visions, WV Sorcerer Productions and Homo-Sensibilis Sounds, the label he runs.
Consequently, CZLT has dug deep into the devoted works of Indian classical music and Dhrupad and Khayal masters, such as Ustad Asad Ali Khan, Ustad Imrat and Irshad Khan, Jyoti Hegde, Zia Fariduddin, Mohiuddin and Bahauddin Dagar, Mita Nag, and many others.
Today he learn Indian classical music on Sitar with the renowned Anglo-Indian sitarist Roopa Panesar and Surbahar, Rudra Veena and vocals practice in the Dhrupad sub branch tradition.
The result in his work is a resolutely experimental approach across all these influences.
This research is dedicated to gaining mastery of the Surbahar / Rudra Veena and vocal practices as well as to transpose this into the occidental context of amplified music. As such, these elements are applied to the drone metal, ambient/binaural and experimental musical approach of CZLT. Exploring the harmonic scales and giving the sound a new power provided by a large range of harmonics, from the microtonal aluminium barytone guitar blended with distortion from multiple bass and guitar stacks, creating a physical and immersive live experience.

THE MARQUIS IS DEAD (Live)
Get navigated in a demented world where cutting riffs, hardcore vocals, and monolithic marches battle in dystopian soundscapes. Looping rhythms, shilling effects, and robust guitar sounds meet abrasive distortion and heavy-industrial innuendos. Take a seat for this apocalyptic spectacle and enjoy a venture into the unknown...
The Marquis is Dead, formerly known as The Marquis, is the Avant-garde Industrial-Doom solo project of multi-disciplinary artist Dillon Steele, self described as "Anti-Industrial Apocalypse for Modern Dystopia", sonically it resides somewhere on the border of electro-industrial and metal, it is meat- cuttingly cruel music with an experimental sound.
The project has released albums with records labels all over Europe such as Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Strange Therapy, Antibody, Kindcrime, Diffuse Reality, and Brutal Forms, amongst others, and has over a decade of touring experience, having played across North America, Central America, Europe, and Japan, in 2024 the project performed at Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic and in 2025 will perform for Sonic Rites in Finland, Over The Edge in Germany, and other notable festivals.
The show is very performative, homemade instruments including customised metal percussions are played alongside conventional instruments (both electronic and acoustic) to create electro-acoustic soundscapes and walls of noise which fill the gaps in, after, and between the songs, resulting in a seamless sonic journey from start to end.

LADYSHAVE & DER MORD (DJ)
Cult figures and pillars of the Brussels underground, these DJ's will guide us through the rest of the evening with their impeccable selection of heavy beats.
