Empress BC

Witness three of BC's finest post-metal bands: Empress, Druin, and The Monarch bring an night of swirling atmosphere and immense riffing to The Cobalt on Saturday, October 3rd. Empress, Vancouver's favourite post-metal/blackened sludge band since 2017, punctuate hypnotic song structures with heavy, ear-worm riffs. Empress conjure a crushing and psychedelic atmosphere with unmatched stage presence. @empress_bc https://thisisempress.bandcamp.com Druin is a Vancouver-based post-doom metal juggernaut featuring seasoned players from The Nautilus, Kataplexis, The Post War, and Dungeons. Their debut album, The Goat Whispering in the Panther's Ear, delivers a relentless barrage of crushing riffs and dark, immersive soundscapes. @druinmusic https://druin.bandcamp.com/music The Monarch, Nanaimo's signature post-metal quartet is as enthralled with down tuned riffing as they are with drenching a room in ambient washes, full of reverence for delay and reverb. Don't miss their Vancouver debut! @themonarchlives https://themonarch.bandcamp.com/music Saturday, October 3rd @ The Cobalt (917 Main Street, Vancouver) $20 at the door, less in advance. Doors at 6:30 19+ Presented by Journeyman Productions Poster By: Aaron Bonogofsky
