Collectif Mental proudly presents:
SUNNATA (stoner/doom metal/sludge - PL)
Feral wilderness prophets Sunnata (sanskr. noun emptiness, voidness), a Warsaw-based four-piece, have been paving their own way to higher metal skies since their 2014 debut Climbing the Colossus.
Their spellbinding sophomore album Zorya (2016) made the band gather even more momentum with regard to the European alternative heavy scene. Third album Outlands (2018) brilliantly brought out even more character, confidently crossing the frontier of progressive doom to land in even more melancholic and mind-expanding alleys.
Known from their expressive and atmospheric live performances, Sunnata have already taken part in various international festivals and been invited to open for Mastodon, Paradise Lost, Entombed AD, Rotting Christ, Sleep, Uncle Acid & yhe Deadbeats, or The Sword.
With their fourth album, Burning in Heaven, Melting on Earth, Sunnata are at their most transcendent, melding together all the heaviness, intensity and tenderness into a graceful, cross pollinating form to create something incredible that demands attention and respect.

LA BESTIA DE GEVAUDAN (post-metal / sludge/doom - CL)
La Bestia de Gevaudan (LBDG) was born in Bulnes (Chile), but would finally settle in Santiago de Chile in 2010 as a solo project by Diego Yañez Aguilera, who sought to unite the heaviest of post-rock of the time with the most ambient of sludge and electronics, having clear influences on artists such as Neurosis, Explosions in the Sky and Aphex Twin. From 2023 LBDG is established as a trio. They played ArcTangent festival last year.
