Bear Stone Festival is proud to announce a collaboration with Festival Buke (Festival of Noise), a program dedicated to supporting the next generation of artists within the alternative and heavy music scenes.
On Saturday, July 05 the Mill Stage will be fully taken over by Festival Buke, bringing a dynamic mix of young, uncompromising bands and seasoned underground veterans all ready to deliver raw, high-energy performances that echo the spirit of the scene.
The aim is simple: to use the opportunity to shine a spotlight on emerging artists, strengthen connections within the regional music community, and offer our festivalgoers a powerful sonic experience.
LORD DRUNKALOT (CRO)
Lord Drunkalot came out of Zagreb’s “Thrashnjevka” district swinging like a wrecking ball made of molten fuzz and heavy groove. Doom, Thrash and Psychedelia all locked in, dialed up, and aimed straight at your solar plexus. Massive riffs? Check. Epic hooks? Absolutely. A rhythm section that doesn’t let up and vocals that bite. These guys don’t play, they strike.
After leveling stages alongside titans like Ufomammut and 1000mods and dropping their acclaimed LP “Heads & Spirits” in 2021, they’re now locking in the crosshairs for their next release and you’ll hear it live. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
SHELL (CRO)
Shell are a three-piece band from Zagreb, Croatia and th ey ain’t here to play nice. They mix Post-Hardcore and Sludge like it’s a secret family recipe, then sprinkle in some Noise, Post-Metal, and Math Rock just to keep your ears guessing.
Their sound? Heavy. Dynamic. Unpredictable. Like a sermon that starts soft, then lights the whole room on fire. They released their debut EP “Throes” in 2023. And now? They’re cookin’ up a full-length album that’s gonna shake the ground you walk on.
10KRE (CRO)
10KRE are a Stoner-Sludge trio from Zagreb. They formed in the summer of 2023, just a bunch of guys getting together and jamming, nothing fancy. But what came out of it was something solid, heavy, and raw.
Their sound? Think Heavy Blues with grit and aggression. Riffs that hit you like a ton of bricks, vocals that demand your attention. They get up on stage, and it’s not just a show. It’s an experience. You feel the energy, you remember it.
EXTROFT (CRO)
Extroft are a young Alt-Metal band from Valpovo, Croatia. They don’t play games, they bring the energy. Their sound? It’s a mix of Groove, Psychedelia, Grunge, and Classic Heavy Metal. You put those together, you get something that punches through the noise.
Since they formed in 2020, they’ve been taking over big stages and festivals across the region. Places like InMusic, Tvornica Kulture, and Vintage Industrial Bar. They dropped their debut EP, and now they’re working on something even bigger, building their name, one track at a time.
