Project Renegade: With the aura of Release Athens Festival
The Project Renegade are a metal band from Athens, founded by Marianna (vocals) and Ody (drums). They were later rounded out by Philipp (guitar) and Jay (bass). The sound of Project Renegade is a mix of alternative, modern, heavy and groove elements with electronic influences. They've got two releases under their belt, the EP "Cerebra» (2017) and the LP «Order of the Minus» (2019), while their second recorded work titled «Ultra Terra».
They've shared the stage with names like Slipknot, Evanescence, Within Temptation, Sepultura, Bullet For My Valentine, Jinjer, Sonata Arctica, Harakiri for the Sky, Mayan and Beyond the Black. They've taken part in numerous festivals both abroad and in Greece.
Lazy Man's Load: With intense style and character!
The Next Gen Blood bill is rounded out by Lazy Man’s Load. Lazy Man’s Load (aka LML) were founded in early 2017, and without wasting any time, within just a few months they released their first single/video clip titled “Start Breathing”. The following year (2018) they released another single/video clip called “Persian Mistress”. After quite a few shows on Athens' underground scene and out in the provinces, they went into the studio in June 2020 to record their debut album “All Hat No Cattle”. The album was completed, but its release, mainly due to the unprecedented pandemic that hit the world, would take place the following summer (2021).
With the gradual but steady return to normality, the record came out through Sleaszy Rider, initially accompanied by the video clips for “Gomorrah” and “In For The Kill” and a little while later “Hot As A 2$ Pistol”.
