False Gods was incredible. Mikey comes out looking like a high school driving instructor and tears it up like a Heavy Metal Viking. It's great seeing small independent bands put on epic performances. It's awesome that the Middle East has multiple venues to give different bands somewhere to play live and connect with fans.

False Gods Biography
New York heavy hitters False Gods have their own take on metal, a unique blend of southern-sludge
influenced doom mixed with some old-school NYHC thrash-core and a healthy dose of noise. The result
is brash, bulldozing and in-your-face, shifting gears like a snow plow coming down a steep mountain.
Coming together out of the rubbles of a previous band, Skeletondealer, False Gods were set out to create
music that wouldn't fit into any one metal sub-genre. Founding member, Greg March, recorded a demo of
what would become the foundation for their debut release. After playing it for band member, Mike Stack,
the band rounded out the line-up and immediately finished recording what would be there debut release,
“Wasteland”, produced by Joe Cincotta (Suffocation, This is Hell, Incendiary).
Since their initial release in 2016, the band had gone on to release two more ep's "Reports from Oblivion"
and "The Serpent and The Ladder" independently. In 2020, they released their first full-length album this
time on Seeing Red Records entitled "No Symmetry...Only Disillusion" to rave reviews. In 2022, they
released their follow-up full-length entitled "Neurotopia" again on Seeing Red Records which received an
8 out of 10 stars from both Decibel and Metal Hammer UK Magazine as well as adding on new bass
player Devin Stracuzza and touring the Northeast with legendary sludge metal act Come to Grief. The
following year saw the band touring across the country as well as festival appearances at the 2023 Grim
Reefer Fest (with headliners Bongzilla) both the Maryland and Ohio Doom Fest and two sold-out shows
with Long Island's From Autumn to Ashes and the addition of new drummer, Josh Harrison. The band has
had the chance to share the stage with Conan, Crowbar, Abigail Williams, Barishi, Urban Waste, 16,
Ghost Bath, Fistula, Cloud Rat, Castle, Will Haven, Ilsa, Artificial Brain, Sunrot, Unearthly Trance, Heavy
Temple, Amigo the Devil, Genocide Impact, Wretch, Castle, The Obsessed, Pentagram.
With influences ranging from eyehategod, Crowbar, Godflesh, SWANS, YOB, Amebix, Carnivore, Killing
Joke, Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Integrity, Neurosis, Saint Vitus, Skullflower, 16, the members of False
Gods embrace all forms of extreme and heavy music in which term helps them fulfill their musical vision:
creating powerful sounds, embracing the bitter truth of reality and letting the chips fall where they may.
