SUMAC & MOOR MOTHER
What happens when you combine SUMAC: a band that uses the volume, distortion, and guitar-centric approach of metal to make music that has the malleability of jazz and textural exploration of noise with Moor Mother: a poet and sound artist that has deconstructed hip hop to a point where it’s less about rhyme and rhythm (though obviously both are present in her work) and more about oratorical cadence and power? The Film is an album that takes attributes of both artists’ work and finds common ground in shifting musical patterns, and expressive force. The record is a musical thumbing of their noses at the more traditional approaches of their respective fields, an innovative, powerhouse of an album The Film’s moniker speaks to the fact that it is conceived and delivered as a complete album, a full story or narrative. Moor Mother puts it best: “The idea is to create a moment outside of the convention. This is a work of art. Thinking about the work as a Film, instead of an album or a collection of songs. This task is impossible in an industry that wants to force everything into a box of consumption. You won’t understand or get the full picture until the artwork is completed. This work is developing and is requesting more agency within the creative process.” The Film does have clear themes running throughout – again Moor Mother expounds: “the themes are universal in nature – land – displacement – the climate – human rights and freedoms – war and peace – the idea of running away from the many violent forces and horrific systems of man and empire.” Heavy, holy, hypnotizing – beyond existence, beyond the fettered constraints of normality, past the false notions of the indoctrinated disguised as the organic, planets form; the detritus of cosmic stuff merges into galaxies, into something that can sound like it’s populated by suns. The Film is just such a work, a nebulitic collaboration between SUMAC and Moor Mother. The Film was recorded at Studio Litho in Seattle with Scott Evans. The album includes appearances by guest vocalists Kyle Kidd, Sovie, and Candice Hoyes. SUMAC and Moor Mother will be playing select dates worldwide together, including a performance at Roadburn Festival just ahead of album release. This double album is packaged in a custom obi designed by Aaron Turner featuring paintings by Turner and art concepts by Moor Mother.

Nanowar of Steel ~ Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees & Beyond ~ The Roddenberries
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM Nanowar of SteelNanowar of Steel is an Italian comedy heavy metal band. Their name is a pun on the metal bands Manowar and Rhapsody of Fire, and represents their tendency to satirize “true metal”, the primary focus of their music. https://www.nanowar.it/ Tragedy: All-Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees and BeyondTragedy takes disco, soft-rock and pop classics, and completely reimagines them as glorious, red-hot heavy metal. They’re sure to get your head bangin’, your booty shakin’ – and put a smile on your face and your fist in the air. Tragedy’s concept, while subversive and humorous, goes beyond what many have done in satirical music – they celebrate the soul of the original song, even while turning the soundscape on its head. The amps are cranked to eleven, but the emotion is not lost. You discover new meaning in songs that have been a part of your life for as long as you can remember. You laugh and cry. Dance and mosh. And feel newly connected to the disco-metal that was inside you all along. Tragedy does not lazily rely on the concept or “the joke”. The band plunges deep – blazing musicianship, tantalizing riffs and stunning vocals. All except for Lance the towelboy. He’s just an idiot. The RoddenberriesThe Roddenberries’ versatility knows no bounds as they venture into the realms of Star Trek, Star Wars, sci-fi/fantasy, gaming, Dr. Who, and superhero fiction. Their mission: to unite and entertain fans of all ages across the Nerd-o-Sphere. From masterful renditions of iconic movie and TV scores to uproarious pop/rock/classics parodies, this energetic troupe boldly takes you where no Star Band has gone before. Prepare for a one-of-a-kind spectacle that fuses pop culture, rock ‘n’ roll, theater, comedy, and a heavy dose of pure sci-fi awesomeness! The Roddenberries have made their mark on the entertainment scene, gracing some of the most prominent television and radio stations. Their extensive journey has taken them to a multitude of venues, conventions, and events across the nation, giving them a stellar reputation with their fandom. They’ve headlined at prestigious gatherings like Star Trek’s Official 50th Anniversary Convention, the 55 & 57 Year Mission Conventions at The Rio Las Vegas, and the 56 Year Mission Convention at Bally’s Las Vegas. Their performances have also graced stages at New York Comic Con, Wizard World, Keystone Comic Con, Fan Expo, World Café Live, The Landis Theater, planetariums, museums, and colleges.
Cognitive (Album Release Show) ~ Necrotic Gorebeast ~ Bonginator ~ Compulsed
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMCognitivehttps://cognitivenewjersey.bandcamp.com/Necrotic GorebeastNecrotic Gore Beast’s self titled debut album erupted from the cankerous crust of the brutal death metal scene in 2019 and immediately established the band as one of the very heaviest around. Combining fearsome technical ability with intimidating brute force they pushed the limits further with second album, Human Deviance Galore and now they have bulldozed through the boundaries of sonic extremity once again. Repugnant is a relentless attack of world shattering violence, its bludgeoning blows entwined in cruel complexity and warped imagination. Each strike is deadly, from the panic inducing opening of the title track to the final, fatal blow of ‘Frozen Feces Evisceration’. Along the corpse strewn way you’ll find throat shredding guest vocal appearances from Cryptopsy’s Matt McGachy and Bludgeoned’s Jonathan Huber and some of the most incredible brutal death metal you will ever hear. NecroticGoreBeast have the strength to take on anyone in their field and leave them bleeding. In the badlands of brutality there is no match for the ‘GoreBeast.https://linktr.ee/NecroticgorebeastBonginatorhttps://linktr.ee/bonginator?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0iuJH63M9M2EqVEqMfpvI4yN-5lzJiGnsvK9cztPsq8i2_2WQvGhMp1dk_aem_ATK30AofLA_1a9Vm7UiZ1PYunaPs8q8_vMSmHBT6OJFj-bm–JgDWp9n9DrSVQ2VsmnbMUs3ZpIYwdRqMOQL7yHACompulsedCompulsed is a brutal death metal band from South Jersey that formed in 2024.

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMULCERATEThe unmistakable sound of ULCERATE finds its emotional apex on 6th album “Stare Into Death and Be Still”, as the band emerge from the claustrophobia and dissonance of their recent past to present a next-level exploration of melody, harmony and power.The band’s signature ultra-atmospheric blend of highest order unorthodox Death Metal with the texture of futurist Black Metal is here pared-down with the consummate hand of experience, giving stunning credence to the riff, the song and the meaning.Embracing production clarity, ULCERATE use these songs to fully showcase their other orldly musicianship: a vocal performance from Paul Kelland of unadulterated authority, Michael Hoggard’s guitar and Jamie Saint Merat’s percussion working in tandem with startling skill and originality, simultaneously skewed and heart-rending, often addictively succinct and reveling in strident motifs that hook, haunt and transform the listener with their expressive honesty.Thematically the album explores the concept of “death reverence” – drawing on recent personal experience to confront the truism that death and tragedy aren’t always sudden or violent, that people are often passive observers trapped “in the silent horror of observing death calmly and cleanly”.”Stare Into Death and Be Still” is the deepest, purest and most meticulous form of ULCERATE: a soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning for one of the most uniquely talented bands inextreme music.http://www.ulcerate-official.com/ALTARShttps://altarsdeath.bandcamp.com/musicHATHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT6CdYRJmzUhttps://www.facebook.com/HathBand@HathBandNJ
