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

Havok + Toxic Holocaust ~ I Am ~ Hammerhedd ~ DJ Keith Cruelty
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM HAVOKInspired by the burgeoning American thrash metal revival of the mid-2000s, Denver’s Havok assembled in 2004 with an aggressive style that evoked Bay Area thrash legends like Exodus, Metallica, and Testament. Havok’s self-financed early releases got them signed to Candlelight Records, which released Havok’s debut album, Burn, in 2009 and then sent them off to tour with bands like Exodus, Anthrax, Destruction, Primal Fear, and Hammerfall. All of this roadwork only tightened up the group’s impressive chops, and prepared members David Sanchez (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Reece Scruggs (lead guitar), Jessie de los Santos (bass, backing vocals), and Pete Webber (drums) for the recording of their sophomore album, Time Is Up, released in early 2011. Michael Leon replaced de los Santos on bass for 2013’s Unnatural Selection, which earned positive reviews and saw Havok make their Billboard debut. TOXIC HOLOCAUSTA punitive thrash metal project influenced by hardcore punk, west coast hard rock, and proto-death metal bands of the late 90’s such as Discharge, Hellhammer, and Venom, Toxic Holocaust is largely a one- man operation run by Oregon native Joel Grind. Emerging in the lates, the project eventually expanded into a live entity, and by 2020 the group had issued six well-received full-length albums and multiple EPs. Grind founded the band in 1999 in the city of Portland. Writing and recording all of the group’s music himself, he issued a pair of demos (1999’s Radiation Sickness and 2002’s Critical Mass) before unleashing the project’s first full-length effort, Evil Never Dies, in 2003.I AMBrandishing a unique blend of furious thrash and death metal like a weapon of mass destruction, I AM is purely no-nonsense in their patented “Texas Death” assault. Armed with riffs, speed, and overwhelming power, “I AM writes songs that make you want to move” (Decibel Magazine). Across three full-length slabs of bludgeoning intensity and snarling rage, I AM put a Southern stamp and revitalized swagger into deathcore, a subgenre rarely as raw, energized, and diverse as this band. In the spirit of fellow Southern icons Pantera and newer Texan heroes Power Trip, I AM channels discontent and anger into empowering anthems, as likely to inspire a grueling workout as to incite the pit. HAMMERHEDDAbe quit baseball, Eli quit his after-school job, and Henry dropped out of college. The three Ismert brothers who make up Hammerhedd have a natural gift and a greater calling. Perhaps the definition of les enfants terribles, these metal-minded midwesterners from Kansas City are mostly too young to get served at the venues they slay, but you wouldn’t know it to hear their music. Drawing comparisons to contemporaries like Gojira, Meshuggah, and Mastodon, Hammerhedd blend heavy genres into a perfect sludge of driving rhythms, brutal distortion, and just a tinge of melodic mischief. DJ KEITH CRUELTYUnearthing the most hellish sounds from the depths of the heavy metal graveyard, DJ Keith Cruelty will be unleashing a Heavy Iron Fist of Metal Up Your Ass between sets: COMPLETE AND TOTAL STREET METAL HELL!!!
