SWEDEN

A four-piece powerhouse, from the depths of the Swedish hardcore underground, God Mother has been a rising force since its inception in 2012. The debut, Maktbehov, was easily one of metal’s most exciting new releases in 2015, making many of the year’s top lists, including Loudwire, Blunt Mag, Metal Injection, and was hailed by Pitchfork as "an asteroid crash of an album that renders most of its competition extinct.” The band has toured extensively with acts such as Cult Leader, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suffocation, Frontierer and Rivers of Nihil.
