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

THICK ~ Skating Polly ~ Teenage Bigfoot
**All events 21+ — valid ID required for entry**Doors: 7:00 pmShow: 7:30 pmTHICKOver the years, THICK have earned recognition as an unstoppable live act, with their show typically spawning a mosh pit described by Stereogum as “more like an aggressive hug.” As they dreamed up the tightly crafted yet uncontainable sound of 5 Years Behind, the band kept the live experience at the forefront of their minds. “When we write, we write toward the emotions of the audience,” says Sisti. “I know that lyrics play a huge role in connection, but I’m personally more focused on visualizing how people might physically respond to a song—what it would make them feel in the moment and how it might make them move or dance.” Now gearing up for a national tour in support of 5 Years Behind, THICK aspire to strengthen the palpable sense of inclusivity that’s defined their shows from the start. “We want people to feel safe in the mosh pit, and hopefully connect with each other,” says Page. “We’ve made so many friends at the shows we’ve played, and we’d love it if people could build some kind of community from coming to see us.” And in the making of their first full-length effort, THICK aimed to instill an undeniable feeling of solidarity into each of the album’s tracks. “In a way the theme of all our songs is: ‘We’ll get through this. We’re not going to be kept down,” says Black. “I hope when people listen to the album, it gives them that same feeling. And I hope they feel like, if they ever needed it, we’d absolutely have their back.”https://thick.band/SKATING POLLYFusing elements of alt-rock with classic D.I.Y. punk and indie pop, savvy Oklahoma sibling band Skating Polly found international exposure through rigorous touring, earning both critical acclaim and support of the indie rock scene. Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse formed the group at a young age, with their brother Kurtis Mayo joining in 2017. The band is noted for their alternating instruments among each member, poetic lyrics, intense live shows, melodic arrangements, and an eclectic array of songs. They have released five albums and make over thirty music videos. https://www.skatingpolly.com/TEENAGE BIGFOOTLike most teenagers, this band has taken on quite a few shapes. Since 2017, Teenage Bigfoot has been Tiffany, Joe, and Jake, but the band looked much different in 2014 when they played their first show at Philadelphia’s original First Time’s the Charm festival. As the only active band from the fest, Teenage Bigfoot continues to strike like lightning with their artful blend of 90s skate punk, melodic hardcore, and pop punk gushy stuff. The band has shared the stage with Jeff Rosenstock, Masked Intruder, The Dirty Nil, Mischief Brew, The Dollyrots, among others, and in 2019, Teenage Bigfoot accompanied long-standing Japanese pop punk outfit, NAVEL, on their first ever U.S. Tour. Teenage Bigfoot released “Weapons Against Darkness” November 2021 via Bloated Kat Records.www.teenagebigfoot.comhttp://teenagebigfoot.bandcamp.comFacebook & Instagram: @teenagebigfoot
Batushka ~ Hate ~ Hideous Divinity ~ Witching
**All events 21+ — valid ID required for entry**Doors: 6:30 pmShow: 7:15 pmBATUSHKABatushka is a Polish black metal band formed by Krzysztof Drabikowski. Their music and lyrics, which are written exclusively in Old Church Slavonic language, are inspired by the Eastern Orthodox Church. The band members wear habits and Eastern Orthodox schemas during live performances to conceal their identitieshttps://batushkaofficial.com/HATENo one combines death and black metal quite like Poland’s Hate. With unflinching viciousness and a sense of atmosphere unique to the band, on Rugia, their twelfth full-length, they push the boundaries of their craft even further. “It was clear to me that it should build upon and evolve from our previous record ‘Auric Gates Of Veles’ (2019) both musically and lyrically. However, every Hate record stands as a separate journey, and never twice to the same place. You never know exactly where it will lead you” states vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner, who has led the band since 1991. Fresh blood in the band’s lineup also helped contribute to Rugia’s unique sound. Pavulon (drums), who had played with the band since 2014, was forced to step down from the band due to serious health issues. The band tapped Nar-Sil (Neolith, Virgin Snatch, Embrional) to take his place. “Working with a new drummer this time around was a fascinating experience for me. Nar-Sil’s technique and presence are quite different from Pavulon’s and that definitely comes across. I believe we managed to construct a refreshing new chapter to our discography, composing nine truly sinister onslaughts of pure rage.”https://hate.bandcamp.com/HIDEOUS DIVINITYBased in Rome but featuring members of Aborted, Hideous Divinity deliver Death Metal that is both crushing and old school rooted and technical with a blackened feel on top.https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XOpU6j3NQ37JfIaWA4ySHWITCHINGhttps://witching.bandcamp.com/
Vision Video ~ NITE ~ Activity
**All shows 21+ — valid ID required**Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:30 PMVISION VIDEOAs an active paramedic, firefighter, and veteran of the war in Afghanistan, Vision Video lead Dusty Gannon has seen more horror in real life than in the classic movies he draws inspiration from. When not saving lives on the front-line, Dusty dons torn fishnets, combat boots and makeup to play post-punk that recalls the genre’s heyday when the lines between goth and pop blurred to create some of the underground’s most beloved acts such as The Cure, The Smiths and Joy Division. But hidden within Vision Video’s catchy hooks and dancy beats is a nostalgic yet desperate message exploring the darker undertones of our existence. At its core, Inked In Red looks inward to understand the effects of war and the global pandemic. Dusty’s experiences in service have imparted an authentic gravitas to the music, revealing a cautionary tale of unhinged mental illness born of trauma. Sonically, this is reflected in every chord and melody through its enticingly gothic yet often upbeat nature. Vision Video’s debut imparts a duality of mania that, simply stated, is real malaise and existential dread that cannot be made facsimile. https://visionvideoband.com/NITENITE is an electronic rock band from Dallas, Texas.https://nite.bandcamp.com/ACTIVITYWe are friends and we’re working on album 2.

(Martha Splatterhead)With the knife-wielding, toothy-grinned Martha Splatterhead at their side, Seattle’s own THE ACCÜSED carved their way into the underground music scene by becoming one of the cornerstones of crossover music that melted faces in the 80s across the globe––A punk/metal fusion that planted its ever-growing seed in modern heavyweights such as MUNICIPAL WASTE, LAMB OF GOD, CANNIBAL CORPSE, the Patton/Lombardo project DEAD CROSS, and many more.https://splatterrock.com/DECEASED (Fearless Undead Machines)By now, DECEASED need no introduction. One of the longest-running American death metal bands, since 1985, DECEASED have been there for it all: death metal’s genesis, its creative peak, its commercial peak and subsequent sink into trendiness, the eventual fallout and “un-trendiness,” its rebirth at the hands of a new generation, and on and on. There they have stood, simply and 100% always DECEASED, not caring what year it is or what is hip – simply, always, DEATH METAL FROM THE GRAVE!https://the-true-deceased.bandcamp.com/album/thrash-times-at-ridgemont-highOVERDOSEMotör-charged Rock n’ Roll from NYC.https://overdosenyc.bandcamp.com/COFFIN DUSThttps://coffindust.bandcamp.com/album/nightmare-vision
