REZN — Cycles in the Infinite Dream Tour

Chicago-based cosmic and cataclysmic quartet REZN have mined the stark monochromatic depths of underground metal and fused them with the kaleidoscopic delights of psychedelia, prog rock, and shoegaze. From their inception, the band have been fiercely independent with a fully realized aesthetic and a fervent cult following. As knowledgeable gear heads, experienced sound engineers, and seasoned DIY veterans, REZN have been able to create a body of work devoid of any sonic compromises in their speaker-rattling dirges and heady lysergic forays. Their four self-released albums—Let It Burn (2017), Calm Black Water (2018), Chaotic Divine (2020), and Solace (2023)—have all gone through multiple vinyl pressings without any distribution or retail presence, and the international underground heavy psych world has routinely selected the band for distinguished festival slots across North America and Europe.

Following the haunting beauty of their debut Forgotten Ways, Coltaine return with Brandung – a bold yet organic evolution of their signature sound. Formed in 2022 in the mystic shadows of Germany’s Black Forest, the band continues to dive deeper into the fog-drenched realms of atmospheric psychedelia, post-rock melancholy, and blackgaze intensity.

WAR
After their 2023 debut, which also featured six tracks from their side project Deibel on the B-side, the trio from Leipzig opens a new chapter. Their sound
stretches from melancholic soundscapes to raw, catchy energy, all the way to crushing heaviness. Caught between political darkness and personal grief, their lyrics cut deep into the fractures of our time. Condensed world-weariness. The anger simmers beneath the surface, but now and then, a glimpse of hope breaks through. All delivered with an intensity that lingers in your gut.
