Their music is a high-octane blend of fuzz and diesel fuel that hits hard enough to send you through the windshield and grooves harder than torn asphalt. Resolute, their sophomore 2021 release received critical acclaim and showed the band still retains the chip on their shoulder that made their debut album Threshold an underground favorite. https://linktr.ee/TheAgeOfTruth

Early Moods ~ Dirty Dealer ~ Blazon Rite
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Early MoodsThe self-titled full length debut of Los Angeles quintet Early Moods is a marriage of classic underground doom like Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Trouble and Saint Vitus, paired with traditional “big box” Heavy Metal melodies and song structure. These two contrasting aesthetics may seem incongruous, but the skilled musicianship of Early Moods — some of whom have played music together since their early teens — manages to find the perfect balance between grit and gloss.Dirty DealerFormed in 2022, Dirty Dealer brings sleazy 70’s rock ‘n’ roll tunes back to the forefront. Featuring members of Heavy Temple, Serpent Throne and Narcos Family Band, this 4-piece Philly based collective injects scumbag riffs back into the current rock landscape.https://dirtydealer.bandcamp.com/Blazon Rite Hailing from Philadelphia and formed in 2019, Blazon Rite delivers a slab of Epic Heavy Metal that gives nods to many classic bands we all know and love while maintaining a distinct level of originality and unpredictability. Their style conjures intricate and lengthy hymns about war torn heroes, adventures into mystical and unknown lands and the strength and valor needed to defeat enemy foes wherever they may pass. This is not straight forward NWOBHM, Blazon Rite invites the listener into uncharted heavy metal territory with whimsical riffs and synth laden songs, similar to bands such as Slough Feg and Early Blind Guardian. The quintet is comprised of vocalist Johnny Halladay, guitarists Jim Kirn and Pierson Roe, bassist Devon Graham and drummer Ryan Haley.

Hive ~ Prisoner ~ Oldest Sea
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM HiveFormed in 2014 by guitarist and vocalist Morgan Carpenter and drummer Mike Paradise, Hive draws heavily from Scandinavian D-beat, Pacific Northwestern hardcore punk, and the legendary Minneapolis crust scene of their hometown. Drawing from their collective years in veteran hardcore bands such as Threadbare, Bosnia, Disembodied, and many more dating back to the early 1990’s, Hive has already left a dark cloud over the United States hardcore scene, particularly in the Midwest. In 2015, the band self-recorded and released their first 6 song self titled EP on limited edition cassette and 12” vinyl. The first proper full length LP, Parasitic Twin, was released by Crown And Throne Ltd. in 2017. 2018 saw Hive collaborating on a split 7” with fellow Minneapolis hardcore band No Skin. Most recently, in January of 2019, Hive distilled the same angst and paranoia of their previous efforts while confiscating the claustrophobia and lawlessness of their live shows. The result is Most Vicious Animal, 12 songs of bulldozing hardcore that rarely gives listeners a chance to breathe. Recorded entirely in two days while tracking in the same room together, the band was able to achieve a more brash and aggressive album compared to their previous releases. The bold new album will be released on all formats by known accomplices Crown And Throne Ltd. (vinyl, limited edition cassette, digital) and Seeing Red Records (CD, digital) in August 2019. On the heels of the release of Most Vicious Animal, the band performed numerous live shows from Denver to Philadelphia – including two separate tours with Sect (Southern Lord Records) – the last of which concluded in Baltimore, just days before COVID-19 shut down live music for nearly two years. During the COVID-19 shutdown, Hive remained diligent in practice and writing. A live performance was recorded for Cvlt Nation’s Sonic Unrest Volume 4 – a collection of virtual live sets throughout the pandemic. Shortly after, the band self released the audio from the performance as the Live Viral Armageddon cassette. By mid 2021, the band had completed writing for their third full length album, and began recording in unorthodox ways through the remainder of the year. The birthed result was Spiritual Poverty – a nine song powerhouse grabbing the band’s signature combination of raw punk and unbridled heaviness by the throat, and illogically pushing it all into the red. Hive has carved out their own denomination through underground punk and is welcomed and shunned by their peers in equal measure. Their cabal is undoing and the only haven is death. Join their cult.Hive Bandcamp: hivempls.bandcamp.comPrisonerhttps://prisoner.bandcamp.com/Oldest SeaFormed in 2017 by songwriter Sam Marandola, Oldest Sea began as one woman’s personal exploration of the darker side of experimental folk music.
