'Hello Hell,' the second album from Boston heavy, noise-punks, Miracle Blood, has already been called "incredibly relevant," "career defining," "endlessly replayable," and "a standout piece within any punk music lover’s record collection," since it's release on Nefarious Industries on November 15, 2024. The record delivers 10 ripping tracks in 31 minutes, showing off the band's one of a kind, genre-bucking take on noise-punk: dissonant, heavy and chaotic, yet melodic, catchy and playful all at the same time. Since 2022, Miracle Blood have been building their reputation as one of the most original and hard working bands in the East Coast DIY scene. Since then, the band has self-released their debut album, completed four US tours, and been nominated for three Boston Music Awards. Now, Miracle Blood has released their second full-length with acclaim from both critics and fans. Baumgardner: 3 piece sludge metal band from the Twin Cities. Apocalyptic satanic talisman for the masses. Wanderer: Minneapolis' long running remedial mathcore riffers return from summer break

$10 adv
Common Lady formed from Midwest friends-of-friends, makes their debut with their first EP, Patchwork. The songs began as singer-songwriter Emma Deihl's quiet reflections—soft reckonings with the constant becoming of one's twenties, where change, heartbreak, and celebration blur together. At first simple, acoustic chords and vocal melodies, the songs longed for a sound expansive enough to hold the full emotional swell behind them. Thus, Emma sought musicians to bring her musings to life, and Common Lady was born. Blending elements of jazz, folk, and pop, Common Lady collectively crafts simultaneously catchy and deeply felt songs, reaching for relatability without sacrificing lyrical specificity. Produced by Sam Tudor, who also plays drums and adds violin to the record, the music is shaped by Andrew Bien's luminous jazz piano and Michael Vandervennet's steady, soulful bass. Together, Common Lady creates music that feels both intimate and shared: tender stories unfolding within a rich, collaborative landscape of sound. NATL PARK SRVC wants to be your new favorite band. The Minneapolis, MN seven-piece has worked tirelessly over 4 years to develop a wholly unique spin on the indie rock sound that has defined the Twin Cities scene for years, layering melodies on melodies with lyrics that pull you in even deeper. They formed in 2018, releasing a series of 4 EPs, culminating in their debut album The Dance. Their most recent album MAGICIAN, a double LP which redefined their sound, is a soul-baring ask of why we shrink from each other and hide from our lovers, why we spin ourselves in facades for the pleasures of the careless. KYM and the Kick is a cheeky, queer pop band from the Twin Cities, MN. KYM and the Kick released their EP “Not 4 U” under their solo name in 2020 - six pop tracks with a hint of early 2000s rock. Their newest single, “No Promise (I’ll be Fine)“ is a candid, shimmery pop song about living with chronic depression. This song is third of three standout singles from their debut album, “The Gift of Feeling,” released in May 2025.

Formed in 2019 by vocalist Jackson Davenport, VOID is a haunted, technically sharp thrash/heavy metal force rising out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Blending razor-edged aggression with an eerie atmosphere, VOID stands at the crossroads of classic thrash intensity and dark, theatrical heavy metal. The band made its first major statement with their debut album Horrors of Reality in early 2023. The record introduced VOID’s uncompromising sound—fast, intricate riffing, commanding vocals, and a sinister edge—and was followed by a relentless stretch of touring that hardened the band on the road and built a growing underground following. That momentum led to VOID racking their first record deal, and the band then focused their efforts on crafting their most ambitious work to date: Forbidden Morals, a full-length concept album centered on a lost traveler’s descent into the castle of Vlad the Impaler. Dark, cinematic, and technically ferocious, the album marked a turning point for the band—putting VOID firmly on the map and opening the door to larger tours and wider recognition. Following the release of Forbidden Morals, VOID signed with Metal Blade Records to further carve their path in stone as one of the most compelling new voices in modern traditional metal. Phantom is a Speed/Thrash Metal band from Guadalajara, Jalisco - México formed in 2021 by Guitar player and singer J.C García (a.k.a "Necrohex"). Inspired by the roots of the genre, merging styles that go from Traditional HM, Speed Metal, Deathrash, and also gathering influences from other places, like Latin rock, and also elements from old NES games music, the band quickly trascended the Mexican border and became a force to be reckoned with internationally. After a series of early demos, the band released it's first album "Handed to Execution" in late 2023, followed by the "Transylvanian Nightmare" EP, (2024) - Which landed the band a contract with German label High Roller Records, and which led to the release of their sophomore album "Tyrants of Wrath" in 2025 and now also the upcoming third record - "Not Midnight Yet", both of these records supported by international tours, playing in festivals such as Keep it True Rising, Obscene Extreme, Hell's Heroes, Thrash Nightmare and Wacken Open Air. Phantom handles themes that go from Vampirism, Horror, Dark Fantasy and revenge, to personal situations and thoughts. All of it backed by an intense, aggressive, raw but also prolific & complex sound and structure. for the dead now thirst and the living tremble - Phantom are the SPEED METAL NOSFERATUS, and they are coming to take you.

Weedeater was born the mid-'90s, in Wilmington, NC, originally taking shape as a side project of vocalist/bassist "Dixie" Dave Collins, who was otherwise engaged with sludge metal cult favorites at the time. However, upon that band's official demise in 1998, Collins was free to concentrate his efforts on Weedeater, which released two sludgecore albums to kick off the new millennium: 2001's And Justice for Y'All and 2002's Sixteen Tons, both produced by stoner specialist Billy Anderson. Collins later decided to tour briefly as bass player for and also found time to lend his four strings to Wilmington neighbors, , but continued to work with Weedeater guitarist Shep and drummer Keko, touring relentlessly over the years, with the likes of C.O.C. and . Busy as he was, Collins and co. finally got around to recording their third long-player, God Luck and Good Speed, which was release through Southern Lord in 2007. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Nashville’s Howling Giant has nothing to prove. Music City’s preeminent heavy jamming psych-wizards formed more than a decade ago, and have been on an enviously productive upswing ever since. With four EPs, a split, and two full-length albums under their belts, not to mention a relentless touring ethos that finds them spreading the gospel of the riff far and wide, Howling Giant can transfix you with a gorgeous, harmony-laden vocal hook while hitting you square in the gut with the snaking, progressive groove you never saw coming. High Desert Queen has begun making "waves" on the live music scene with their high energy performance and their unique "Texas Desert Rock" sound. After releasing just one song and only a handful of live shows, the band was contacted by Blasko (A&R of Ripple Music, Bassist for Ozzy, Rob Zombie, Zakk Sabbath) and was quickly signed to Ripple Music. Their debut album titled "Secrets of the Black Moon" was released on Oct. 15th, 2021 to high acclaim. INSOMNIAC coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond. A bouncing ball on the rhythm of the universe. An aural guide past the edges of perception. The band took form in Atlanta, Georgia, like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Deceased, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and The Buzzards of Fuzz, the outfit’s transcendent, mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty, balanced between unconsciousness and dreams.
