Meh Suff and Dynamo Zürich have presented in these days the final line-up of a new festival which will take place in Switzerland at the end of April 2020: EROS AT ARMS."It is our great pleasure to present the premiere edition of Eros At Arms, Zurich's very own music festival for the alternative arts! We went the extra mile to assemble what we feel to be a diverse and exciting array of artists, cherished by us for their talent and uncompromising vocation and hope you share our excitement in welcoming them to the stage!", reads their official announcement, and indeed the line-up confirmed for the first edition of the event, is a truly well assorted selection which brings together some quite diverse manifestations of the underground and alternative music, where the common theme might certainly be the fact that each one of them is a remarkable representation of the music they play, and each one of them in their very own way.
Among them, one of course is of particular relevance here on Unearthed Mirrors: Molasses, who will return on stage after their debut at Roadburn 2019.
The Dutch band has enchanted many of us with their first EP "Mourning Haze" / "Drops Of Sunlight", released on Ván Records on the day their first performance happened at Roadburn, on April 11th, 2019; following that there hasn't been any other live activity but when Doomstar Bookings announced, back in July 2019, that Molasses had joined their roster, it was an indication that something more was in store for the band, and actually, in an interview some months ago, the vocalist and founder member Farida Lemouchi has confirmed that they have been writing music together as a band and are considering the idea of a full album.
Now finally, all the appreciators of their captivating and soul-stirring progressive rock, will have the chance to witness them performing live again, at EROS AT ARMS 2020.
The festival will be a one-day event and will take place at Dynamo Zürich on April 25th, 2020; alongside Molasses, the other bands confirmed are: Archgoat, Dool, Bölzer,Schammasch, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Trepaneringsritualen, Valborg and Load.
