MACABRE
Formed in 1985:
vocalist/guitarist Corporate Death (Lance Lencioni),
bassist/vocalist Nefarious (Charles Lescewicz),
and drummer Dennis the Menace (Dennis Ritchie).
The trio is a vanguard of the style they’ve come to describe as “murder metal,” a ferocious mix of death metal, punk rock, grind, jazz fusion, thrash and folk melodies among other sounds with lyrics examining real-life stories of serial killers, mass murderers and more.
Two idiots and a puppet drummer named dickpancakes. This is the most awesomely stupid metal band in the universe. Formed in 1998 by brothers Pete and Dan Manzella, (Piz ‘n’ Spam Manwhat). Maggot Twat returns to make you piss yourself.
Based out of East Chicago, Indiana, DYSPHORIA toured and performed in many places and festivals and developed quite a rowdy following throughout their short years! DYSPHORIA opened for many major tours and bands across the nation. Having only released one demo, 1993’s “Day Of Atonement”, they quickly rose to the top of the ranks in the Midwest death metal scene. More demo’s were recorded, but never officially released. DYSPHORIA disbanded in 1995 due to differences and members of the band are still active and remain friends to this day!

Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre is a powerhouse of crossover thrash metal, hailing from the vibrant music scene of Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 2011, this band quickly gained notoriety for their high-energy performances and humorous lyrics and antics.
The band’s lineup includes long-time members Josh “Macho Frost” Kandich on vocals and Jordan Miller on lead guitar, along with bassist Viaj D Crum and drummer Tony Strissel. Over the years, they’ve maintained their independent status, allowing them the creative freedom to produce music that’s unapologetically original and raw.
Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre is renowned for their live shows, where their infectious energy and dynamic stage presence captivate audiences. Each performance is a rollercoaster of mosh pits, laughter, and headbanging, leaving fans exhilarated and eager for more. Incorporating props such as inflatables and pool noodles, they encourage crowd participation, but also incorporate wrestling themes such as starting “feuds” with bands over a custom made championship title and using “weapons” during their performances such as chair shots and putting people through tables onstage.
Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre is always ready to ensure everyone is having a good time and encourages fun over all else, always leaving the stage on a high note to get the crowd moving and leaving a positive attitude in the air.
