Since 2016’s critically acclaimed “The Well-Intentioned Virus” (really, just ask the critics, they LOVED it, even NPR jumped on board – who would have thought?) the band has been releasing EPs, remix albums, Nintendo cartridges with actual music on them, concept 7-inches packaged in mirrors and STILL found time to oversee reissues of their back catalog and an album of archival demos from 1995.https://officialzao.bandcamp.com/album/the-crimson-corridor ThoughtcrimesThoughtcrimes, the Long Island-based hardcore band featuring former members of The Dillinger Escape Plan.https://thoughtcrimesband.com Snake Charmersnakecharmer.bandcamp.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Snakecharmerphilly/https://instagram.com/snakecharmer215?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7 PMShow: 7:30 PMStönerRad stays rad. A few ideas are timeless. Stöner is Brant Bjork (guitar/vocals), Nick Oliveri (bass/vocals) and Ryan Güt (drums), and from flowing jams to all-out punker blasts, they know what they’re doing. It ain’t anybody’s first time at the dance, and you don’t call your band Stöner if you’ve never heard the word before.https://stonerband.bandcamp.com/releases FulciThe death metal band named after the Godfather of gore.https://fulcicult.bandcamp.com/music Mario Lallihttps://www.instagram.com/mariolalli/?hl=enHallucinogenic Bulbhttps://hallucinogenicbulb.bandcamp.com/
Sadistic Ritual ~ Caged ~ Severed Boy
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7 PMShow: 7:30 PMSADISTIC RITUALSadistic Ritual put the listener in a trance without ever breaking from their rhythmic, acidic core sound. The Enigma, Boundless stands out because the thrashers aren’t interested in retreading the same ground as the progenitors of the genre; their spin is noticeable and unique.https://sadisticritualatl.bandcamp.com/album/the-enigma-boundlessCAGED”Young Gnarly and Full of SLUDGE – CAGED brings something new to the genre! They’ve decided to create riffs that seem like they were dipped in industrial sonic pain to inflict maximum listening pleasure. Their songs are the perfect soundtrack for the world we are existing in right now because they reek of disgust! Let’s all get ugly and blast the new CAGED tape STRICKEN BY CONTINUANCE.” – CVLT Nationhttps://cageddoom.bandcamp.com/ SEVERED BOYBirthed from a quarantined manic episode, Severed Boy are a duo comprised of Nicholas Wolf and Reid Calkin, both of Lunglust. The band’s public debut, Tragic Encounters features 20 minutes of upsetting and uncomfortable death-doom, squarely focused on the absolute worst acts committed by the human mind and body. Viscous yet virile, tar-thick but not without upticks in speed, and cunningly crushing and atmospheric in equal measure, Severed Boy’s first strike is a wholly auspicious one, suggesting more miasmic mastery to come.https://caligarirecords.bandcamp.com/album/tragic-encounters

Tower ~ Morgul Blade ~ Skullovich
TOWERHeavy band from NYC. Play it loud!https://towernyc.bandcamp.com/MORGUL BLADE Morgul Blade is a 4-piece from Philadelphia, PA writing traditional heavy metal with a nod to second wave Scandinavian black metal combined with the Lore of the Great J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth and other subjects including history and folklore. Exploring the darker, more sinister side of heavy metal with harsh vocals interspersed with heroic clear ones, telling tales of Magick and Might, forlorn battlefields, heroic deeds and beings of unlimited power, Morgul Blade hopes to transcend the subgenres of metal and create music that world builds and takes you away from crushing modernity. They are proud to announce the follow up to their widely loved “Harbingers of Power and the World’s End” EPhttps://morgulblade.bandcamp.com/album/fell-sorcery-aboundsSKULLOVICHSkullovich explores the lore of epic and dark fantasy whilst retaining an atmosphere that seeps into the mind, envisioning the clashing of blades and casting of deadly spells. Hymns telling tales of darkness and violence with hidden secrets that explore perceptions of morality. Dungeon Metal forged by cryptic thaumaturgy, and an ode to all who worship steel.https://skullovich.bandcamp.com/music
