When Artillery formed in the small Copenhagen suburb of Taastrup in 1982, little did they know they'd be here alive, vibrant, and ready to destroy in 2024. Sure, they've had their share of ups and downs-the but Artillery have survived. They were there when thrash metal took off. They were around to see the emergence of death metal. And they're here today, to make their mark on a whole new generation of metalhead. Artillery's highly energetic, riff-centric and often fast-paced music helped define thrash metal as we know it.
Vapor represents the greater Bay Area with a powerhouse mix of thrash, death, and speed metal combined with a newer kind of vocal and drumming. Their musicianship, uniqueness, and dedication make for awesome riffs, crushing lyrics, and explosive live shows since 2004!
Rivetskull come from Seattle to deliver classic heavy metal punctuated with poignant lyrics.Their songs tell of the human experience, exploring the highs and lows, and triumphs and tribulations that define life's journey, inviting listeners to connect with the raw and visceral aspects of existence.
War Curse, with their true to roots Bay Area sound, walks a path blazed by the thrash metal titans of yesteryear while creating a distinct imprint of their own. High energy shows across the map garnered War Curse the reputation of being a must see live act with their no holds barred brand of thrash metal.
Known worldwide for his day job, the drummer of Bay Area Thrash legends Death Angel, DJ Bleeding Priest (Will Carroll) will be playing his fav tracks from his extensive Metal vinyl collection before, between and after the bands.
Get there early! Right after doors, Ego Likeness co-founder and singer Donna Lynch (Baltimore MD) reads from her collections of horror & true crime shorts & poetry, including the Bram Stoker Award-nominated works "Choking Back the Devil" and "Girls From the County". The Metal Community loves horror, don't miss your chance to support one of the most exciting writers in current Horror fiction.

War Curse Biography
Formed in 2013 by guitarists Justin Roth, Joshua Murphy, and drummer James Goetz, War Curse has become a new prominent force in thrash metal. Like many bands facing the harsh realities of life and relationships, War Curse has endured a handful of line up changes since it’s inception. In 2016 War Curse added some serious firepower and experience to the line up with the addition of ex Grip Inc / current Heathen bassist Jason VieBrooks. In 2017 the line up was once again complete with Blaine Gordon assuming the role of vocalist and frontman.
The band’s debut EP “Final Days” (released via Static Tension Recordings) propelled War Curse out of the basement and on to the national circuit. The band’s true to roots bay area sound has resonated with metal fans and media alike. After writing early material and ramping up for local and regional shows in 2014, War Curse spent most of 2015 melting faces around the mid-west, sharing the stage with notable bands like Havok, Raven, Metal Church, and Black Fast. 2016 would prove to be a break-out year, seeing War Curse further expand their reach by touring the U.S. in support of “Final Days” alongside Miami death thrash pioneers Solstice. High energy shows across the map garnered War Curse the reputation of being a must see live act, assaulting ear drums and doling out sore necks in every city they step foot in.
In 2017 the band has shifted it’s primary focus back to writing, enlisting the services of Ben Schigel of Spider Studios (Chimaira, Drowning Pool, Ringworm) to engineer and produce their upcoming sophomore release. The untitled full length album will feature 8 new tracks and two guest solo appearances from a couple of bay area heavy hitters (yet to be announced). Upcoming tours, headlining dates, festival appearances, and War Curse’s first venture into Europe and Mexico will fill in the blanks between studio sessions. Check back for updates and announcements as 2017 unfolds.
