Cokegoat, Corridoré, Atonement Theory, Scientist
Cokegoat – Chicago death/doom/progressive metallers. Comprised of three guitarists, three voices, synths, bass and drums, Cokegoat crafts a straightforward yet intricate brand of heavy. Think Electric Wizard meets Mastodon, or Black Sabbath circa ’73 – ’76. (Spirit-of-metal.com)

Corridoré – Madison trio dishes out epic, and melodic, atmospheric post/black metal. “Blastbeat-throttled passages flow into blustery post-rock melody…equal parts bleak atmosphere and bracing rawness.” (Tone Madison)

Scientist – Chicago bringers of psychedelic, atmospheric blackened sludge & death metal. They are about to release their third album, “Barbelith”, a concept album about “the search for life’s meaning through the use of psychedelics and the occult, only to discover that you haven’t even been born yet”.
