Etterath

Presented by Popnetz Karlsruhe

With their intense blend of trumpet-infused post-metal, hardcore, and doom metal, the Karlsruhe-based band Etterath embodies the experience of hardship and the inner turmoil that follows—between relief and loss, between order and chaos, between catharsis and burden. An ambivalence that unfolds in Etterath’s musical versatility with both brute force and fragility. Founded in 2022, the quartet is part of the Karlsruhe-based independent music label Iwishicouldstay and released their debut single “Goliath” in 2024, followed by “Picking Scabs” in 2025 and most recently “Interloper.” In 2025, Etterath took third place in the jury’s selection at the “New Bands Festival.”
