Duma ~ Masma Dream World ~ Death Qualia
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMDumaMartin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi’s flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed Duma (Darkness in Kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project.Recorded at Nyege Nyege Studios in Kampala over three months in mid 2019 their self-titled debut album fuses the frenetic euphoria, unrelenting physicality and rebellious attitude of hardcore punk and trash metal with bone-crunching breakcore and raw, nihilist industrial noise through a claustrophobic vortex of visceral screams.The savant mix of brutally adrenalized drums, caustic industrial trap, shredding grindcore inspired guitars and abrupt speed changes create a darkly atmospheric menace and is lethal on tracks like the opener “Angels and Abysses” , “Omni” or “Uganda with Sam”.The gruelling slow techno dirges and monolithic vocals on “Pembe 666” or “Sin Nature” add a pinch of dramatic inevitability bringing a new sense of theatricality and terrifying fate awaiting into the record’s progression.A sinister sonic aggression of feral intensity with disregard for styles, Duma promises to impact the burgeoning African metal scene moving it into totally new, boundary-challenging experimental territories.https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/dumaMasma Dream WorldDevi Mambouka’s evolution is rooted in her past informing her present and future. Born to a Gabonese ambassador and a Singaporean mother makes her a child of the world, and one who learned to tap into her inner magic to overcome trauma, abuse, and addiction. Play at Night, her debut album under the moniker Masma Dream World, is the resume of such learnings and experiences. Abruptly moving from Africa to the Bronx at 12 years old yielded intense challenges, but singing was a refuge and music was an escape. Influenced by the likes of Amel Larrieux, Toni Braxton, and Zap Mama, Play At Night challenges your preconceived relationship with darkness, guiding you to step into it. The album encompasses elements of butoh (a Japanese spirit-led performance art), the theta frequency, and the need to hold sacred space. This space is a prime opportunity to awaken one’s power source from within.https://masmadreamworld.bandcamp.com/album/play-at-nightDeath Qualiahttps://ohmresistance.bandcamp.com/album/fanged-contradiction
Captured! by Robots ~ Fuck Tomb
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMCaptured! by robots2 kick ass robots, 1 stupid human. Brutal pummeling music. End of story.But you wanna read more stupid crap? Ok, idiot human.CAPTURED! BY ROBOTS has been touring the world since 1997, playing thousands of dive bars for millions of drunken humans. C!BR has now returned with a newly found united aggression towards humanity (that) has been channeled into fast n loud music, designed to deafen and destroy, to pound and pummel, breaking your bones with brutal tones.GTRBOT666 latest transmission on the upcoming tour:”YOU MISERABLE HUMANS HAVE GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE NOW! HAHAHA! BRING ON THE SUFFERING! WE WILL USE YOUR TEARS TO LUBRICATE THE MACHINES OF YOUR DESTRUCTION! HAHAHA. YOUR CHARRED BODIES WILL WARM OUR COLD ROBOTIC HEARTS.”In 1996, Jay Vance made the robots because he was extremely unlikeable, and wanted to play in a band after all his past human bands hated him. He got to work. Shortly after, GTRBOT666 and DRMBOT 0110 were born. After a horrible accident involving many drugs and a chemical spill, the Bots became self-aware and captured the human, now renamed JBOT. It was decided that they would travel the country, rocking out while bent on world domination and humiliating the chained idiotic human in front of his human peers.The Bots and JBOT’s relationship has changed. Now they are much more united in hating humanity. Stockholm syndrome? Maybe… Or maybe you all just suck really really bad.https://capturedbyrobots.bandcamp.com/Fuck TombFeral, gross, psychotic death-grinding punk from a collective of weirdos that have seen beyond the mortal coil and worship the invincible dead. ₣ ₣ ₣Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuuucktomb/Bandcamp: https://fuuucktomb.bandcamp.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RqzT3I

The Silver ~ Honey ~ Quiet Man
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMThe Silver Featuring Matt and Jamie Knox from renowned death dealers Horrendous, Enrique Sagarnaga of acclaimed Philly doom squad Crypt Sermon, and Nick Duchemin, The Silver sounds almost nothing like the members’ other bands—and that’s completely on purpose. The Silver’s debut, Ward of Roses, is an album that deals in blast beats as much as romanticism, Ward of Roses progresses through movements that draw from black metal, goth rock, and other bleak expressions. Matt Knox’s soaring clean vocals mingle with cathartic guitars while vocalist Nick Duchemin howls over strident blast passages—often in the same song.Listen HereHoneyCrossover Thrash Metal from South Philly.
