ContaineR and Violent Magic Orchestra

Violent Magic Orchestra (VMO), from Osaka, Japan, is an extreme art project fusing black metal, techno, industrial, and noise. Their intense audiovisual live performances are a hallmark, with their sound often described as "black metal meets Kraftwerk." Notable albums include "Catastrophic Anonymous," "Principle Of Light Speed Invariance," and "Death Rave." VMO has performed at global festivals and collaborated with artists like Talpah.

ContaineR is the solo project of American-born, UK-based musician Ren Schofield. Since 2009, he has crafted a distinctive noise techno sound, blending noise-rock and tape music with rhythmic electronics and liberal distortion. Known for his off-kilter approach to electronic music, ContaineR has released numerous LPs and EPs, performing at club nights, festivals, and punk shows worldwide.
