<p>Modder are returning to Resistor to present their new album "Destroying
Ourselves For A Place In The Sun" with support coming by industrial hip-hop
artist CCHHRRIISSTTOODD and Haarlem's post-sludgers Afgrond!</p>
<h2>Modder (BE)</h2>
<p>Modder is a five-piece sludge and doom band from Ghent, Belgium.</p>
<p>With riffs designed to break your neck, supported by thunderous basslines,
grooving drums, industrial samples and synthesizers, they create a unique sound
within the sludge genre. Since fall 2021, Modder has been playing live at
venues and festivals around the Benelux. With their latest album 'The Great
Liberation Through Hearing' (2024) under their belt, Modder continues to
impress with their sonic chaos. All with one goal in mind: to crush every stage
by blasting their riffs at the highest volume.</p>

</ul>
<h2>CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (BE)</h2>
<p>CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (pronounced “Christ O.D.” with a stutter) is the solo project
of Ghent-based tattoo-artist-turned-musician Berry Bleck. His distinctive beats
provide a bed for eclectic lyrics covering topics ranging from his struggles
with depression and apathy to dreamlike descriptions of drug-fueled psychedelic
trips.</p>
<p>A multidisciplinary artist, Bleck meticulously curates the project’s aesthetic
himself, incorporating pieces of his own artwork and distinct style into each
release. Constantly shifting between two worlds — the physical and the fantasy
— CCHHRRIISSTTOODD has proved to be an undoubtedly unique blend of industrial
hip-hop, rap, witch house, and even rave. Live, his shows incorporate even more
of this duality than ever: he draws his energy from the crowd, his mood
shifting from euphoria to downright fury, each word dripping with intent to
deliver a convincing performance.</p>

<h2>Afgrond (NL)</h2>
<p>Vile and earthshaking Post-Sludge/Doom Metal from Haarlem. Originally formed as
an instrumental three-piece in a former abbattoir, AFGROND really came together
when their vocalist joined. Creating high volume, low tuned riffs combined with
growling dutch vocals, the Haarlem based band released their debut album
Verdronken Hemelen (Drowned Heavens) on 21 March 2025 via Geertruida Records.
Inspired by the likes of Tesa, ISIS, Amenra, Ufomammut etc, AFGROND will guide
you down into the abyss that awaits all.</p>

<p>From march onwards our show schedule will be a busy one! To kick things off
we'll head back to Resistor in Leiden on the 7th of march with:</p>
<h2>Gutter Carrion (UK)</h2>
<p>James Shearman is a Noise Being. Born/based in London (UK) and responsible for
various experimental recording aliases. Most recently, ‘Gutter Carrion’
obsessively explores walls of sound with ‘only feedback as source’ - only ever
utilising vocal microphones, amplified resonant objects and no-input mixer
forms of feedbacking in conjunction with audio fx - the project has slowly
evolved to centre around the shifts and changes of feedback that are
‘naturally’ occurring in a space with as little ‘interference’ from the
performer as possible. </p>
<h2>Yellow Wasabi (FR)</h2>
<p>Yellow Wasabi, evolutionary biologist and new media artist in Paris. She
combines sciences and arts to investigate the human position in the digital
industry and ecological landscape. She uses computer programs and biological
modules to innovate and with the Guzheng, traditional Chinese harp; she shapes
sound through AI motion capture and interactive projections. </p>
<h2>Informelle (FR)</h2>
<p>Informelle is a study of harsh sound – its organicity, interaction with the
environment, structure, or lack thereof – and amplified found objects – metal,
bubblewap, chestnuts, water. The project builds upon a set of interests and
obsessions : contact microphones, fuzz effects, saturated pop songs, the
interaction between noise and non-noise sounds, concentrated harsh textures,
crunch, larsen. Informelle has a reductionist approach to harsh noise,
minimising equipment to bring forward the sound sources. </p>
<h2>N.E.R.F.</h2>
<p>N.E.R.F is a collaborative project of longtime comrades Peter Zincken and
Johnny van de Koolwijk. They use vintage field recordings and intertwine them
with fragments of improvised live recordings, analog synths, loops &amp; vocals.</p>

Charnel Ground presents: Gutter Carrion, Yellow Wasabi, Informelle & N.E.R.F.

<p>Prepare for some in your face hardcore, powerviolence and grindcore with
Portugal's Bas Rotten and LMDA from France/Belgium! Local support comes by
Utrecht's Snake Eater!</p>
<h2>Bas Rotten</h2>
<p>PREDATORY GRIND TANK!!! This fierce quintet was formed in2017 and besides the
demo, the guys have recorded their debut album"Surge", which is gathering
nothing but positive reactions from all over the world!!! And it's a fucking
roller of total grindcore mixed with maximally catchy mosh crossover passages.</p>
<p>"These guys are fierce, fast, they hit hard and, that's right, they are a lot
of fun" - Bas Rutten - Heavyweight Champion of everything.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://basrotten.bandcamp.com/album/surge">Bandcamp</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>LMDA</h2>
<p>4-piece powerviolence straight out of France &amp; Belgium.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://lmdapowerviolence.bandcamp.com/album/bebop-grinders">Bandcamp</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Snake Eater</h2>
<p>Is the sound of the screwed horns of war against colonialism worldwide. Taking
influence from Pakistani-Punjabi poetic and musical traditions, their lyrics
advocate a strong anti-imperialist stance, sung in both English and Urdu. With
grindy metal-tinged hardcore riffs with a broken up buzzsaw guitar tone from
gear that survived a housefire, d-beat drums and a punk attitude to tie it
together, Snake Eater shows promise to devolve into chaos, both in the crowd
and on stage.</p>

<p>Resistor is trots opnieuw co-host te zijn voor het vrijdag programma van het
Peel Slowly Festival. Dit jaar zullen er drie acts op ons podium verschijnen.</p>
<h2>Able Noise</h2>
<p>Het Haags/Atheense duo Alex and George maakt experimentele muziek met
baritongitaar en drums. Door gebruik van hun stemmen en alternatieve methodes
van bespelen van instrumenten creeëren ze onvoorspelbare optredens, waarbij
compositie en improvisatie, live instrumenten en opgenomen tapes versmelten.</p>
<h2>AKa Rinde</h2>
<p>Gewapend met een steel-string gitaar, monster basdrum, percussie, stem en een
batterij wisselende units brengt de helft van Dÿse een ‘acoustic Molotov
cocktail with attitude’.</p>
<h2>Bombstrap</h2>
<p>Venijnig nieuw Rotterdams terror punk kwartet zoekt de excentrieke hoek kant
van de hardcore en komt verhaal halen met hun politieke geëngageerde woede in
de vorm van een explosieve, visueel gevaarlijke en conceptueel subversieve
show. </p>
<p>De entreekosten voor het festival zijn hoger dan jullie normaal van ons gewend
zijn. Daarom biedt Peel Slowly een ticket tegen gereduceerd tarief aan die
uitsluitend toegang geeft tot de optredens die op het Resistor podium plaats
vinden. <a href="https://shop.weeztix.com/718c8911-1135-4bec-8a2c-d96b79c7bbc0/tickets?shop_code=nkwat5ew">Deze zijn hier
verkrijgbaar</a>.</p>

<h2>English</h2>
<p>Resistor is proud to once again be co-hosting the Friday program of the Peel
Slowly Festival. This year, three acts will appear on our stage.</p>
<h2>Able Noise</h2>
<p>Alex and George’s experimental baritone guitar and drum duo, based between The
Hague and Athens. Through the use of voices, tapes, and alternative methods of
playing their instruments, they create a minimalist and visually striking
performance that explores the acoustics of space, the roles of performer and
audience, and the physicality of performing.</p>
<h2>AKa Rinde</h2>
<p>Armed with a steel-string guitar, monster bass drum, percussion, voice, and a
battery of shifting units, delivers what one half of Dÿse calls an “acoustic
Molotov cocktail with attitude.”</p>
<h2>Bombstrap</h2>
<p>Brand new vicious four-piece band, often referred to as Rotterdam terror punk,
preferring the weirder side of hardcore. Coming to hit you with their
politically charged rage, in the form of a visually dangerous and conceptually
subversive show, they invite you to explode with them.</p>
<p>The admission fee for the festival is higher than you’re normally used to from
us. Therefore, Peel Slowly is offering a reduced-price ticket that grants
access exclusively to the performances taking place on the Resistor stage.
<a href="https://shop.weeztix.com/718c8911-1135-4bec-8a2c-d96b79c7bbc0/tickets?shop_code=nkwat5ew">These are available
here</a>.</p>
