Violent Magic Orchestra was founded in the year 2099 and hail from the planet Halvetech. The only way to get back to their planet is to perform »Death Rave« – a feat of endless dancing and riots that transforms into a beam of light that forms into a dragon whose path becomes a time tunnel to Halvetech. »Death Rave« fuses the aesthetics of black metal with the euphoria and rush of hardcore and gabber. The album was released on Gabber Eleganzaʼs Never Sleep label and includes contributions from Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Ican Harem, Gabber Modus Operandi, Infinity Division, and Dylan Walker – Full of Hell.

The concert will open with a performance-installation »Star Of Xanax« by artists Natalie Assmann, Maximilian Prag and Anna Schall, with dancer DaDa JV and music producer IDKLANG, who embark into a sci-fi fusion of black metal, gabber, cyberpunk, performance art, and techno. Standing between climate anxiety, beta blockers, and queer utopias of post-humanist visions of the future, the work calls for a paradigm shift by acknowledging collective fear and the radical dissolution of hierarchies between humans and matter. The work was initially produced for the S_P_I_T Queer Performance Festival 2023 in Vienna.
