Archspire: Long Roads Big Loads Tour
Since 2009, Archspire has aimed to be one thing above all else: extreme. With their upcoming release Too Fast to Die, they’ve once again raised the bar for what extreme music can be.
Now five albums deep, the band continues to push the limits of speed and virtuosity while somehow keeping a sharp focus on hooks. Their music sits on a knife’s edge of “too much,” and just when you think you’ve hit overload, they drop in a soaring melody or a meticulously crafted clean section long enough for you to breathe; before throwing you back into a rap-flow vocal assault or some of the fastest drumming you’ll ever hear.
Undeath emerge from festering slime with their new album, More Insane. Previous album It's Time... To Rise from the Grave caught a wave of acclaim on TheNeedleDrop's YouTube channel, earned Best New Music from Pitchfork, and rocketed to the top of Decibel Magazine's Top 40 Albums of 2022. On More Insane, Undeath—featuring Kyle Beam (guitars), Alexander Jones (vocals), Tommy Wall (bass), Jared Welch (guitars), and Matt Browning (drums)—feast on the rotten flesh of brutality, complexity, and depravity. Singles "Brandish the Blade," "Disputatious Malignancy," and the title track are imbued with death metal's immortal soul but possess Undeath's inimitable energy, pit-friendly hooks, and work-hardened ethos.
Crown Magnetar is an American deathcore band known for their absolutely crushing heaviness and no-nonsense brutality. Hailing from Colorado, they blend slamming breakdowns, blast-beat fury, and dark, apocalyptic atmosphere into a sound that feels relentless from start to finish. Their music leans hard into modern deathcore—thick guitar tones, guttural vocals, and punishing rhythms—while keeping things tight and focused rather than overly flashy.
Mutilation Barbecue - A death metal band from Cleveland, Ohio and formed circa 2020. They consist of Chris Maggot (vocals), Peter Blanchet (rhythm guitar), Dylan Andras (guitar), Nick McGroder (guitar) and Harrison Good (drums). Their lyrical themes include gore, death, sex and cannibalism.
