Ninth Realm - Damnation’s Veil. Sophomore full length album available everywhere August 28th, 2026
Ninth Realm from the US erupt on the scene with a scathing form of death/thrash metal music bearing influences of hardcore and heavy metal, with a slight blackened edge. The songs are elaborately constructed, each with their share of hooks and breakdowns in addition to effective and memorable riffing. The music takes a narrative process pertaining to their original dark fantasy world, Tythorin, while being intense and violent for the most part. They draw from the classic old school death/thrash sound without sounding too derivative, in large part due to their heavy metal-inspired songwriting approach. “Damnation’s Veil” is a fascinating, expressive, and most importantly, exciting album that is sure to please fans of the classic death/thrash sound as well as those who dig well-written, nuanced, and invigorating extreme metal music in general.
FACE FIRST (BOSTON CROSSOVER):
Face First’s sound is rooted firmly within crossover thrash but they deliver it with a certain energy and attitude about them that allows them to straddle both the metal and hardcore scenes quite well.
The band's skill at walking the dangerous tightrope between metal and hardcore affords them the ooportunity to be billed on shows that cater to either scene and never seem out of place.
Concrete Caveman is a ferocious force of a Deathpunk unit, with an uninhibited aggression that pushes the limits of genre. With origins in South Jersey, Concrete Caveman made Philadelphia their homebase, a decision with no regrets as they represent the underground Philly scene to the core.
The trio are not new to the music scene, playing in multiple bands together over the course of ten years. Mindless Flesh is one of the standout names from their early days, with Lord Scumbucket as the most recent band that Concrete Caveman formed from. As frontman Johnny’s writing style developed a heavier and faster edge, it was time for the band to reform and rename themselves for a fresh, pumped-up vibe.
