Check out a sneak peak here.


MEEK IS MURDER:  A maelstrom of noise through a brutal and spastic blend of grind, metal, and hardcore. "Algorithms" (recorded by Kurt Ballou of Converge), "88 MPH" concept cassette available on the road. Live footage here.


COLONY: Ultra-heavy blend of hardcore/punk/doom metal/sludge.




ZRUDA: Ex-Gaylord + Lazer/Wulf members crafting mechanical, doom-funk, synth metal shred-wraith.





RECKONER: Refreshingly atypical blend of hardcore and metal. Chaotic, ferocious, and featuring members of Fjord and The End of the Universe.





EBONY SORROW: A hybrid of black metal, gurgle blast, and punk rock poised against racism, homophobia and other forms of hatred.



HIROSHIMA VACATION: Local brothers ripping grind apart with lots of new recordings coming very soon...   Live footage available here.



BURN EVERYTHING:
Chaotic blend of grind, hardcore, mathcore, and metal who have been on everyone's unsigned hotlist for some time. Check out tracks from their 7" Dullest Records debut.



AMONG DEAD MEN: Local dual vocal metalcore/deathcore attack! Info here.




DON'T GO INTO THE WOODS: Local blacked punk metal trio.




GRAUPEL: NEW local jazzy, punky, mathy quartet. Live footage here.
