The show comprises high sonic levels composed by bass frequencies and stroboscopics effects inadvisable for young children, pregnant women, epileptics people or ones who have pace maker and hearing aids.
 




In the late 90s Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) was seen as part of the electronica genre, but in reality the band had nothing in common with it. It was too avant-garde, too radical in its views and statements, simply too loud and noisy to fit in. It was a unique line up, almost superhero like, and when Hanin Elias, Nic Endo, Carl Crack and Alec hit the stage in some cities in the South of the USA, the mixed race, mixed sex image of the band provoked people before they even heard the music.
 

In 1996 the Beastie Boys hooked up with Alec Empire in New York and negotiated a label deal between Grand Royal and Digital Hardcore Recordings for North America. The album Burn Berlin Burn exploded. Rage Against The Machine and Wu-Tang Clan asked the band out on their US tour as did Beck, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Ministry. Even Moby chose them as his support for dates in Holland. ATR collaborated with Slayer on the song No Remorse for the Spawn movie soundtrack.
 

The show was plainly terrifying. It's rare in a world now ruled by Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber to hear music that is so angry with itself and with everything else around it. But ATR's overwhelming energy is difficult to deny, and difficult not to admire -- preferably from a safe distance."

Nic Endo - samplers, noise fx

Saddest Day In Metal is the solo alterego of Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi, who plays a selection of music using the material of his collaborations both released and unreleased, melting into one set. The set will contain material of GrindhallerXXX (unreleased project with DJ Speedranch and Cardopusher) collabwork with Merzbow, but also already published music like material of the Blood of Heroes full lenght, or works with Venetian Snares. The whole event will be the perfect warm up for the planned recording session with Atari Teenage Riots latest addition, CX Kidtronik.
