ADOLYNE | DAY 1 | STARLITE ROOM
From the rusted depths of sonic chaos and sharpened dissonance, ADOLYNE returns to tear open the sky at the 2nd Annual INFEST 2025.
Hailing from the cold steel fringes of post-hardcore and dragged through the filth of noise, sludge, and math-damaged time signatures, ADOLYNE creates a sound that doesn’t perform—it disorients. A calculated chaos. An angular, cerebral violence that gnashes at genre boundaries until all that’s left is raw nerve and ruin.
Think: if Converge and Swans were dissected by a jazz-trained machine during a psychic collapse.
An assault on comfort, a hymn for the broken machinery of modern sound. -
ANTHRODYNIA | DAY 3 | FREEMASONS' HALL
FROM THE BLEAK, WINTER-SCARRED WASTELANDS OF THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES… the death/doom entity known as ANTHRODYNIA will descend upon INFEST 2025 for the second annual rite of filth and torment.
Witness the suffocating weight of cavernous death, a sonic plague that devours a rotten sun and breathes only despair. A monolith of misery engulfed in grief, their sound reverberates like the howls of forgotten spirits across abandoned fields, sinking claws deep into the soil of existence.
Prepare for waves of oppressive dread — When the dust settles and the echoes fade, only ruin remains.

Canadian hosers with nothing left but feedback, hatred, and a cooler full of half-frozen Standard Lagers. Expect to wake up three towns over with tinnitus and a vague sense that you committed something deeply illegal.
INFEST 2025 WILL BE A MASS GRAVE OF BAD IDEAS AND WORSE INTENTIONS.
