Up in Smoke 2025 Adds Graveyard, Galactic Superlords, The Great Machine and Wolfer
Sweden’s Graveyard move to the head of the class on the Up in Smoke 2025 poster. The headliners are one of four acts being announced in the latest word from Switzerland’s fall festival, Up in Smoke. The Sound of Liberation-backed three-dayer has also brought on Galactic Superlords, whose 2024 single “Heartbeat” is streaming below, Israeli trio The Great Machine, who are both heavy as hell and sure to be wackadoo on stage, and Wolfer, whose intense atmosludge stylings I’d never encountered before this post but it turns out are pretty awesome. This is why I like fest announcements.
Wolfer‘s 2024 apparently-debut LP, Hey Lester!, is also at the bottom of this post. Dig that foreboding fuzz, explosion and roll of “Your Glory.” It was released in September, on Humus Records. I hadn’t heard it before. The band are from Bern. You might also enjoy digging in. ‘Gaze vibes and impact.
I’m sure you already heard it, but after like 40 years, the novelty of checking out something I haven’t heard before and enjoying it hasn’t worn off. I assume it will when I’m dead.
Here’s the latest from the fest:
