New York City’s dark underbelly of yesterday are re-lived through the eyes of loathe and disdain. Crawling out from the sewers in 2020 and into the dispirited glow of the city’s darkness, GRAVESEND manifests a hate for the make-up of the urban landscape. Finding refuge within the city’s mortuary gates, GRAVESEND brings a harsh aural manifesto of urban disgust.

NJ // DC Death Metal

3 piece death, punk, sludge hybrid trio scattered around parts of the Midwest. Trying to play as loud as aggressive as possible. Interspersed with thoughts and introspections about humanity’s plight with the crushing machinations of empire.

Death//Grind from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Gored Embrace is a death metal band from Chicago formed in early 2020. With numerous influences across old school and brutal death metal (Suffocation, Pyrexia, Defeated Sanity, Skinless, Internal Bleeding, etc.), their music prioritizes raw aggression, groovy rhythms, and catchy riffs/hooks. Common lyrical themes include horror, gore, grim aspects of reality, and state of mind.

Blackened death metal band based out of Chicago. With lyrical inspiration rooted in existential abjection and terror, Selenoplexia blends stream-of-consciousness songwriting with the brutality of the genre’s staples.

Founded in 2021 by guitarist Daniel and drummer Jonathan, and completed with the merciless vocals of Courtney and backbone of bassist Sawyer, Selenoplexia has created a haunting and intense live experience.

Selenoplexia released their first full-length album “Exalt and Despair” on October 13, 2023. The album was engineered and mixed by Spenser Morris at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, IL and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
