N-Vitral

N-Vitral builds kickdrums the way engineers build demolition charges. Stefan Busker announced himself in 2002, aged just 17, with ‘XS36’ on The Third Movement, and spent the next two decades dragging hardcore toward industrial extremes.

From the underground

Citing influences like Converter and Autechre, Busker developed a sound rooted in dark atmospheres and mid-tempo soundscaping rather than simple speed. The 2016 album ‘Louder Than A Bomb’ was the breakthrough that turned that experiment into a movement: the scene dubbed him the founder of ‘maindustrial’, industrial hardcore with a mainstream-stage twist.

Masters of Hardcore

In 2020 he left The Third Movement for Masters of Hardcore, the genre’s biggest platform and home to icons like Angerfist and Miss K8. Born in the underground, N-Vitral now detonates on every main stage the harder styles offer, known for explosive performances and sound design few can imitate, at their loudest under his live-act banner BOMBSQUAD, billed as ‘N-Vitral presents BOMBSQUAD’.

Current form

‘Voices In My Head’ (2026) currently tops his Spotify catalogue in HDRR’s tracking, alongside a steady stream of collaborations across hardcore’s heaviest end, territory he shares with acts like Deadly Guns.
