MARÍ
Booking: EMPTY TAPE
Label: Celebration Records
Marí is the moniker for the Danish singer/songwriter Linda Marí Josefsen. Without being under the influence of the sound and musical virtues of the present time, Marí delivers her songs in a timeless, reflective and calm, yet edgy, gloomy and melancholic universe. Like a spherical and airy autumn storm, her music hits you with the calmness of a Nordic landscape painting, like a walk through the wind-swept fjord fields, the dirty night hours of the cities and gnarled forests with the lonely full moon as the only company.
Her debut album was recorded in Sigur Rós Sundlaugin Studio with Icelandic producer Albert Finnbogason who has been crucial in getting that special Nordic melancholy.

HEATHE
Booking/label: EMPTY TAPE
“This is music which is post-everything: not only post-metal, or blackened post-rock, or
post-doom, but music post-time, post-planetary, post-existence.”
– Whisperin’ & Hollerin’
Join the celebration at the edge of the abyss, as HEATHE opens the gates to their pitch-black universe –
where handcrafted club rhythms and nu-metal collide with soaring gospel and free jazz. Based on dissonance and endless repetition, the group conjures up massive and overwhelming sonic walls of
reverb-heavy and metallic-sounding noise collages, where desperation, high-frequency ecstasy, and aggressive bursts of energy echo through an infinite darkness.
On stage, the group unfolds as a six-member orchestra, where strings, brass, guitars, electronic percussion, and homemade percussion paint trance-inducing, massive, and breathtaking soundscapes where eternity and the present melt together in an exhausting and almost ceremonial experience.
Since 2016, the Aalborg-rooted band has left audiences in ecstatic awe with overwhelming live performances and sonically elusive releases. In 2025, they return with their second full-length album, Control Your Heart’s Desire for Freedom (Empty Tape), an unrelenting maelstrom of aggressive polyrhythms, cacophonous noise rock, and chanting mantras heralding the end of the world.
