Starless / Rozamov / The Ditch & The Delta / Snow Burial
STARLESS
Driven by heavy, down-tuned guitar riffs and melodic vocal harmonies, Jess Ambriz and Jon Slusher bring you a haunting variation of doom and slow core, conveying darkness and light with heavy guitars and voice. Drummer Quinn Curren and bass player Alan Strathmann fill out this dystopian beauty that will have your ears ringing and your head humming.
ROZAMOV
Since 2011, ROZAMOV has left their mark on the US metal circuit with their infectious psyche-tinged grueling doom, having opened for countless national acts, touring regions of the country, and much more, in addition to releasing two independent EPs – 2012’s Rozamov and 2013’s Of Gods And Flesh. A busy 2015 included performances at Psycho California, Converse Rubber Tracks Live alongside Slayer and Doomriders, a tour with Destroy Judas, and the release of a split 7” with Deathkings. Amidst the bleak and historic winter of 2014-15, the recording lineup of ROZAMOV including Tom Corino (bass/vocals/noise guitar), Matt Iacovelli, (guitar/vocals/piano), and Will Hendrix (drums) entered New Alliance Audio in Cambridge to record This Mortal Road. Since its recording the band’s new live lineup is completed with Iacovelli on guitar and vocals, Corino on bass and vocals, and Jeff Landry on drums. Following the release of their lauded This Mortal Road LP in spring 2017 and a US tour in support, ROZAMOV has completed their first official live recording, titled Adaptations, which they are now preparing to release independently. Adaptations was recorded on tour earlier this year as the band was on your supporting This Mortal Road, captured at Live Wire in Chicago, mixed by Chris Johnson at The Electric Bunker, and mastered by Alec Rodriguez at New Alliance. The record features three previously-released songs – “Ghost Divine,” “Serpent Cult,” and “Inhumation” – and leads off with a new song called “Surrounded By Wolves.”
THE DITCH & THE DELTA
Doom that incorporates many different influences such as noise music and progressive metal. One may hear early Melvins or Eyehategod one minute and the next hear Intronaut or even Pure era Godflesh sounds coming from their headphones.
SNOW BURIAL
Snow Burial is a hard-hitting and dynamic post-metal trio from Chicago. They dedicate themselves to crafting aggressive, emotive and technical music. With their first full-length release, Victory In Ruin, Snow Burial manifests a punishing yet beautiful amalgam of sludge, thrash, shoegaze and math-rock; a lush palette of melody and grit, running through the imagined wastelands.
