Brutalist futurism meets ancestral fire.

Forged in Nairobi’s underground and tempered by global chaos, Lord Spikeheart isn’t here to entertain — he’s here to rupture the system from within.

A singular force in global extreme music, Martin Kanja aka Lord Spikeheart channels death metal growls, scorched-earth rap, and African rhythmic codes into something feral, ecstatic and entirely his own. With The Adept (HAEKALU Records), he didn’t just drop a debut — he detonated a scene, earning praise from The Guardian (Best Global Albums 2024), Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, The Quietus, and more.

His latest EP REIGN (Sept 2025) pushes harder: industrial throb meets grindcore velocity, traditional percussion crashes into club sonics. Featuring Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura), Brodinski and Togolese heavyweights Arka’n Asrafakor, it’s a brutalist cocktail of cross-cultural fire. This is music forged in the noise of collapse — but driven by something deeply alive.

Live, Lord Spikeheart is pure combustion: sweat, screams, circle pits and a collective exorcism that leaves no one untouched. Raw, confrontational and unflinchingly physical, his performances blur rave and ritual, pit and prophecy.

Support: Bootycall (DK)

Bootycall hits like a blown speaker in a dingy DIY space — raw, abrasive, and proudly unrestrained. It’s noise music that revels in abrasive textures, blown-out distortion, feedback storms and rough-hewn sound collages, pushing against conventional musical form with no apologies.

Emerging within Copenhagen’s underground scene and linked to the Kvindelig label’s roster of experimental and extreme releases, Bootycall surfaced most notably with the tape Ass Of An Angel in late 2025 — on a label known for dark, small-run cassettes and noise-centric projects. The music sits squarely in the harsh noise/noise art continuum, favoring high-gain feedback, aggressive sonic saturation and chaotic bursts that challenge the listener’s tolerance while rewarding surrender to texture and intensity. By placing itself alongside other Kvindelig releases steeped in experimentation and sonic extremity, Bootycall aligns with a broader DIY noise culture that prizes visceral impact over polish.
