Absolution Fest 2020 is chock full of bands from North America and even as far away as France. Get acquainted with our guests this year.
Drab Majesty
L.A. based Drab Majesty is the enigmatic duo of Deb Demure and Mona D. In 2015 Drab Majesty signed to Dais Records and released their debut album “Careless”. They later released “The Demonstration” in early 2017. The band is known for a dreamy, hypnotic aesthetic and a lush Indie Alternative Darkwave sound.
Rosegarden Funeral Party
Armed with just a guitar and a switchblade, Leah Lane and her misfits, Rosegarden Funeral Party have cut a swath from the royal cloth of post-punk that is distinctly their own. This post-punk alternative band from Dallas Texas is making waves with their incredible live show.

Die Robot
Die Robot is an American Alternative Rock / Electro Industrial band. This is future rock in a post-industrial age. Their sound straddles rock and electronic with a wide appeal. Unique, haunting, and romantic, Die Robot is full of angst and soul with the groove of a predatory animal.
Pass/Ages
Pass/Ages is the new darkwave-meets-dreampop project from Jonn Gauntletier and Caitlin Grimalkin, formerly of post-punk act Ars Phoenix. Hailing from the cusp between Central and Southeast, FL, near a ghost town mysteriously named Viking, their dirgeful synth pop is a score for haunted swamplands and tropical thunderstorms, with a thematic penchant for the psychological and mythological.
Third Realm
Third Realm is the eclectic dark electronic project founded in 2000 by Nathan Reiner of Buffalo, New York. Heavily influenced by Dark Wave and Industrial artists, Reiner puts his own twist on things demonstrating strong production skills, clever songwriting and meaningful lyrics.
The Purge
As The Purge, Thomas Duerig crafts emotionally vulnerable darkwave and electro music with tight pop hooks. He wears his influences on his sleeve, and it's easy to hear shades of The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, New Order, or the Sisters of Mercy whether he is performing a driving electronic dance song or his moody guitar-driven alt-rock.
