KANT / ACID ROW // 12.12.25

KANT (DE) & ACID ROW (CZ)

EINTRITT FREI / HUTKONZERT

„Kant is a heavy psychedelic band hailing from the underground music scene of Aschaffenburg, Germany. Formed in 2020, the band has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the genre, known for its intense live performances and mind-bending soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic alternative scene of the late 60s and 70s, as well as the heavy metal and doom of the 80s and 90s, Kant creates a unique sound that blends distorted guitars, pounding drums, and swirling melodies with haunting vocals and experimental noise.“
– Adrian Bang (ZUKUNFT)

They create the soundtrack for the 70s movie inside the listener’s mind. The sound accentuates thoughts of sunny rides over the Sunset Strip of the 1960s, a Mexican standoff in a lonely western town, or a dark procession through a rainy forest.

Tune in and Drop out!

“A high-octane explosive raw blend of 70’s oldschool punk, energetic heavy-psych-stonerdoom fuck’n’rock and grungy “echoes of the 90’s”. It is a dervish; crazy, freaky and wild with thundering  drums and ragingbass and also at the same time energy-spraying, enticingly captivating vocal power.”  Doom Charts / link

“With glowing red veined eyes I now follow the beastly-trapping soundhand of stirring riffs, horror beastly blues voice and a groovy 90s grunge-acid-stoner-prog-punk, through the mystical-historical  Prague catacombs! – I could sniff endlessly after the raw-groovy soundfinger, from which foggy psych  bubbles plopping, which conjure up again and again not yet discovered sound fragments in my auditory  canals – and I give you devil’s testimony, this album leaves a hot sizzling “afterglow” on the peel!!!”  Doom Charts (9th place) / Doom Charts link

“It is a rawer sound, more reminiscent of early Uncle Acid than later, and the vocals effectively follow  the churning riff with a cultish tale worthy of the classic horror accompaniment. In terms of overall  aesthetic, Acid Row come across as playing to a style that wouldn’t feel out of place coming from several  of the acts on the roster of Heavy Psych Sounds, but one can hear in “No Church on Sunday” as well the  efforts being made to put their own spin on the tropes of genre.” The Obelisk / link

“The pairing of Acid Row and Samavayo isn’t happenstance so much as born travel itself — the bands  met while Samavayo were on tour — and as their first work written completely virtually together, “The  Serpent” hits with a decidedly sure sense of structure and style. There’s something raw about the drums  and the artwork feeds a kind of ’60s lysergic vagary — take acid, do murder, etc. — but the tones of the  

guitars and bass and the vocal melodies pull more from a ’90s alternative aesthetic, bringing about a  balance that’s exploratory in its affect while traditionalist in its verse/chorus presentation. Solos trade  over international borders, and the hook returns, duly methodical in its escalation.
