DEAD QUIET
Forming in 2014, Dead Quiet established themselves quickly with the release of their debut self titled record in 2015. With burbling organ, dual guitars, and the soaring vocals, Truth and Ruin worships at the altar of late ’70s Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Deep Purple, and rejuvenates the genre with modern-day power. DEAD QUIET respects its elders while fully owning its own craft.
YEAR OF THE KNIFE
Furious hardcore from Delaware! The band’s debut full-length Internal Incarceration is a profound reaction to the very real losses and the challenges of the world around them, and a way to turn that discontent into community, compassion, and change. Internal Incarceration CD directly confronts that darkness, and redirects it into the music and lyrics. The resulting thirteen songs clock in at a lean 31 minutes, and are Year Of The Knife at their most visceral. The fast parts are even more explosive, the breakdowns even more pummeling, and Mullen’s guttural voice cuts through the controlled chaos sounding energized and agonized all at once.
STEPS OF ODESSA
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Steps of Odessa is a modern evolution of progressive metal, featuring spacy synths and crushing guitar riffs.
WINTER’S END
Bombastic, epic, and heavy songs meet a powerful message of hope and happiness to adhere to and subvert the expectations of the symphonic metal genre. Classically trained Berklee graduate Jessica Frost’s impressive soprano range soars above layers of sounds to create a listening experience that is as familiar as it is unique. With a lineup of veteran musicians and youthful composers, Winter’s End is sure to entertain and inspire for years to come.
