COVEN 6669
Coven 6669 is a pioneer shock-comedy thrash metal band from Seattle, Washington, that originally formed in 1985 under the name Coven. The band added the numeric suffix "6669"—originally the title of a track on their debut album—following a long hiatus to settle a legal dispute and avoid confusion with the 1960s Chicago-based psychedelic rock band of the same name. They are widely remembered in the underground metal scene for blending aggressive, old-school speed and thrash riffs with highly provocative, anti-Christian themes and satirical black humor.
HEADLESS PEZ
Headless Pez is an independent, comedic power/thrash metal band formed in 2009 in Portland, Oregon. Known for their highly chaotic, over-the-top live performances often involving mayhem and dark humor, the group frequently tours with theatrical punk legends Green Jellö. The band blends high-speed thrash metal riffs with explicit, satirical, and fantasy-themed lyrics. Their over-the-top aesthetic draws heavy stylistic comparison to shock-rock and heavy metal acts like GWAR, Manowar, and King Diamond.
STAR CHAMBER
Star Chamber is a local speed/thrash metal band based right here in Seattle, Washington. The group plays high-energy, traditional thrasher music mixed with speed metal. They recently recorded and released their debut single, mixed by their own guitarist/vocalist Jared Kiess and mastered at Hellforge Studio by Marco Brinkmann.
VIOLENT INSURRECTION
Violent Insurrection is a death thrash metal band hailing from Seattle's East Side (Redmond, Washington). Founded in 2019 by brothers Sage and Ashton alongside their friends Spencer and Jacob, the independent band fuses aggressive thrash tempos with heavy death metal influences. They pull sonic inspiration from legendary metal acts like Slayer, Testament, Cannibal Corpse, and Death. Lyrically, the band focuses on no-holds-barred social criticism. They are active performers in the Pacific Northwest underground heavy music scene, frequently playing iconic local venues such as El Corazón, The Funhouse, Baba Yaga, and the Central Saloon. Their debut EP, Arson, is available for streaming on Spotify.
