after a short but intense visit in Berlin opening for Primitive Men, Kollaps will return on May 11th for an exclusive full-lenght show!
EARLY BIRD TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE:
Kollaps is an Australian/Icelandic post-industrial project whose history is inseparable from violence—both as subject matter and as physical methodology. Formed on the periphery of collapse and personal disintegration, the project has cultivated a reputation for performances that are confrontational, ascetic, and unwavering in their commitment to realism. The band has recently relocated to Iceland, a move that reflects its ongoing pursuit of isolation, severity, and a more unforgiving creative environment.
The live apparatus centres on a set of morgue-derived instruments and implements: blood- and saliva-stained headrests, knee pins, hacksaws, throat expanders, and other devices once used to manipulate, open, and restrain the human body. These objects are not symbolic. They function as percussive tools and structural components in performance, carrying the residue of their original purpose into the project’s sonic architecture.
Since its inception, Kollaps has maintained a relentless touring history across Europe and beyond, appearing at major festivals including Roskilde, Roadburn, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Soulcrusher, and other significant institutions within the industrial, experimental, and extreme-music circuits. On stage, Kollaps operates less as a traditional band than as an apparatus of tension and rupture, constructing compositions from metal fatigue, concrete pressure, ruptured electronics, and recurring motifs of decay.
Kollaps represents a form of post-industrial music that rejects nostalgia in favour of excavation: unearthing the mechanical, the biological, and the violated. It is a documentation of harm, endurance, and the machinery of the body—ultimately, a study of disappearance and the residue left behind when civility is stripped away.
