Four bands, four countries:

The band’s gained acclaim from fans and critics alike, releasing two highly praised albums.

WOMBSCAPE (JP)
wombscape is an art-core band from Tokyo, Japan. Their emotive, desperate sound moves between irregular hardcore rhythms, sparse arrangements rooted in early emo, and the dense noise of post-rock. Lighting and artwork extend the music into the visual space of their live performances.
The band’s releases connect music with visual art and poetry. The two-part concept project 强制勞作唄 features paintings, lyrics, poetry and art direction by Ryo. Their latest single, 罪と罰, was released on 16 October 2025 through landscape records.

A PARADISE. (SE)
As the frontman of the spiritually violent post-hardcore band Tengil, Sakarias Westman has released albums via Prophecy Productions , toured Japan, China and several laps around Europe. In an unholy alliance with Icons Creating Evil Art, he now launches his solo project A Paradise Dot – introducing his own mix of Emo, Black Metal, Folk and Noise Rock; a chorus of beautiful noise that gathers around Sweden’s best singing voice. A Paradise Dot was initiated in late 2019 and despite the pandemic, Sakarias managed to tour both Mexico and Europe. As the world reopened, some successful concerts have been held in Sweden, Denmark and Canada. The past years have also been sprinkled with artist collaborations; Westman lent his voice to Respire’s ”Black Line”, he released a song on Tokyo Jupiter’s ”Memories of a lost city” and appeared on Maulén’s album ”El Miedo De Amar Pero Igual Lo Hago”.
