Swedens biggest EBM festival.
Formed by Christian R. (programmer in Pouppée Fabrikk and C.A.P.) and Johan Damm (original frontman of Dupont), the band began life as VOLT in the early 2000s. Inspired by classic EBM and crossover titans like Nitzer Ebb, DAF, Laibach, and Rammstein, the duo quickly moved beyond homage, crafting their own raw and driving sound.
MENTICIDE’s sound is rooted in old-school EBM but infused with sinister industrial textures and crossover aggression—anchored by Damm’s unmistakable vocal presence, howling in both English and German. Their debut album N.M.E., released on SubSpace, Infacted, and Gravitator, delivered underground club staples like Komm Zu Mir, Wrong, and Search And Destroy—cementing their status across scenes and festivals alike.
Now, after a long hiatus, MENTICIDE returns—rearmed with a powerful new label partnership and a fresh arsenal of brutal, melodic material.
