MAGASIN 4 PRESENTS :
PRIMITIVE MAN (US) (Doom / Death)
PRIMITIVE MAN return with their most crushing album to date, Observance. After twelve years at the forefront of underground music, PRIMITIVE MAN takes merciless aim at the plentiful ills that besiege the world around them, and in the process of doing so do not spare themselves from their flagellating tongue-lashings.
With motifs and symbols recurring throughout the lyrics and artwork (also created by McCarthy), and drawing influence from the work of Tongo Eisen-Martin - specifically Blood on the Fog - McCarthy doesn’t offer answers, he only seeks to share his experiences. Personal and professional pitfalls are explored against the backdrop of a broken social contract that is decimating the lives of working class citizens. While party politics dominate the media, a more insidious divide preoccupies McCarthy as he is haunted by techno feudalism and the future of human rights and social unrest.
KOLLAPS (AU) (Noise / Industrial)
Kollaps is an Australian post-industrial project whose history is inseparable from violence—both as subject matter and as physical methodology. Formed on the periphery of collapse and personal disintegration, the project has cultivated a reputation for performances that are confrontational, ascetic, and unwavering in their commitment to realism. The band has recently relocated to Iceland, a move that reflects its ongoing pursuit of isolation, severity, and a more unforgiving creative environment.
The live apparatus centres on a set of morgue-derived instruments and implements: blood- and saliva-stained headrests, knee pins, hacksaws, throat expanders, and other devices once used to manipulate, open, and restrain the human body. These objects are not symbolic. They function as percussive tools and structural components in performance, carrying the residue of their original purpose into the project’s sonic architecture.
IFFERNET (FR) (Doom / Black)
Born at the end of 2018, Iffernet plays black metal in its most essential setting : guitar, drums and vocals. With two full length albums released in 2019 and 2022, through Vendetta, Breathe Plastic, WV Sorcerer Productions and Rope or Guillotine, the duo played in Copenhagen, Berlin, Warsaw, Zagreb or Budapest, and took part to Roadburn Festival's off-program in 2022 and twice to the Icelandic Nordanpaunk Festival. Touring in France and Europe, Iffernet crafted special alliances with entities such as Turia, Sunken, Trespasser, Dolpo or Aerial Ruin, defending both a raw, atmospheric, deeply left and earth-grounded vision of black metal. Following a split LP alongwith the Italian band Dolpo released for the Rock in Bourlon Festival, Iffernet will release its third full-length album, in March 2026.
~ PRICE : 20€
