Uncle Weevil – “The Unfortunate Demise of Fat Matt” (SWE, Prog Rock)
Exclusive quote from the band: “The Unfortunate Demise of Fat Matt” is based on a remarkable true story from Swedish history. In 1677, a miner known as Fet-Mats disappeared in the Falu Copper Mine—only to be discovered 42 years later, astonishingly well preserved by the mineral-rich environment. Uncle Weevil transforms this historical mystery into a dark and atmospheric composition, capturing the claustrophobia, stillness, and emotional weight of time suspended beneath the earth through dynamic arrangements, shifting moods, and expressive vocals. The track features guest guitarist Nick Nolan, a Los Angeles–based musician and composer whose work has appeared in numerous American television productions. His emotionally charged guitar solo adds a powerful additional layer and highlights a compelling international collaboration.”

DUBOIS – “El Mariscal” (ARG, Instrumental Progressive Rock/Metal)
Exclusive quote from the band: “The project moves between introspection and physical impact, with a dark, intrinsic and conceptual aesthetic rooted in the underground scene. DUBOIS’ identity also dialogues with popular culture and football as a symbolic territory, using these references as a cultural framework rather than an explicit statement.“
