Conan ~ Thra ~ Bone Weapon (Cambridge Hall)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM ConanConan are as heavy as interplanetary thunder amplified through the roaring black hole anus of Azathoth. Remember that sentence, for it is writ large in virgin blood on the walls of the forgotten temple of Bol – Krastor , deep in the steaming forests of forgotten Lemuria. Conan, a monumentally brutal three piece (in the grand tradition of all the hallowed three pieces through time) hold a sinew – tight line and an iron – grip command over the uber – synchronised powerchord chan ges and tempo – shifts of the anti – holy trio of bass, drums and guitar. Two weary yet defiant men have the task of vocalising wretched thoughts over the turgid weight of Conan’s metalized bombast. They bear it well, for the task is immense.https://linktr.ee/hailconanThrahttps://thra.bandcamp.com/ Bone Weapon TAPE RELEASE! Paleolithic death and doom.

Sunburster + Demons + American Ethos + Desperate Living
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:00 PMShow: 6:30 PMDEMONSAs a new year ushers in new nightmares, art counters with menacing mechanisms for catharsis and a spillways for aggravation. Norfolk, VA’s Demons return with their blistering second full length, “Privation,” a distorted and aggressive contribution to a collective ringing of alarms amidst destructive times. Drawing from the spirit of band’s like Metz, Gulch, Converge, Propagandhi, the Demons crew punishingly delivers ten tracks of raw and confrontational fury, motivated from within a spiraling sociopolitical landscape that evokes critical self-reflection and frustration. On Privation,” Demons has found even more synchronization, with a set of songs that are self-described as “more focused,” “a little more punk rock,” and “just better.” While a seemingly simplistic account, the description holds true in all the best ways. Fans of the previous full-length and EPs will find solace in a continuation of form with “Privation,” but with the dials all turned further clockwise — louder, faster, tighter, and more urgent.https://linktr.ee/DemonsUSA AMERICAN ETHOSBandcampDESPERATE LIVINGBandcampSUNBURSTERBandcamp

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.
