Kenyan vocalist, songwriter, and producer Martin Kanja, better known as** Lord Spikeheart**, has emerged as one of the most distinctive voices in Kenya’s heavy and experimental music scene. His music blends death-metal growls, sharp-edged screams, and rap with industrial electronics and high-energy instrumentals.

Lord Spikeheart has gained widespread recognition for his relentlessly high-energy live performances, which frequently erupt into full-blown mosh pits and bring an explosive intensity to clubs and festival stages. His live show has made him a standout at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues, including Le Guess Who?, Unsound, Berlin Atonal, Dark Mofo, Rewire, Playtime, ICA London and the Venice Biennale, among others.

**Radon** have already played on some of the country’s most beautiful stages, alongside well known names of the scene, as well as on a DIY tour along the US West Coast. And yet, this band remains a promise. Their concerts feel dangerous and fragile at the same time. Their riffs and beats sound viscous and heavy, yet also delicate, even floating. Their songs, somewhere between doom, sludge and black metal, speak of intimate and dark feelings, but also of liberating rage — a witches’ sabbath awaits us at the ZW.
