TESA (LV), OCTO

Crunch Tapes proudly presents: Saturday, 4 April 2026 Haus der Statistik, Berlin TESA is an experimental post-metal band from Riga, Latvia, active since 2005. Their music merges sludge, noise, ambient, and industrial influences into a dense, dynamic sound marked by emotional weight and physical intensity. Having toured extensively across Europe and beyond, Tesa has shared stages with artists such as Neurosis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Boris, Oranssi Pazuzu, Godflesh, and performed at major festivals including Brutal Assault and Amplifest. With a strong DIY ethic and a reputation for powerful, immersive live shows, TESA stands as one of the most respected acts in the Baltic heavy music underground. OCTO are an experimental trio from Cologne pushing beyond conventional noise rock structures into darker, more expansive territory. Blending elements of math rock, post-rock and abrasive noise, they build cathartic, powerful soundscapes that feel both tightly controlled and on the verge of collapse. Live, the band performs as a three-piece with two bass guitars, creating a massive, low-end driven intensity. Doors: 19:00 | Show: 20:00 Address: Otto-Braun-Straße 70-72, Block Otto, 10178 Berlin
