Aseitas leads the charge with a dissonant blend of progressive death metal and avant-garde heaviness. Dubbed “PDX death metal tyrants,” Aseitas are fresh off the release of their 3rd album Eden Trough (2024)
Emberthrone (Sacramento, CA) brings blistering technical death metal laced with blackened brutality. This 4-piece – featuring Monte Barnard (ex-Alterbeast, The Kennedy Veil) and Gabe Seeber (Decrepit Birth, Vale of Pnath) among its ranks – dropped their ferocious debut EP Godless Wonder in 2022, establishing themselves as a new force in the tech-death scene.
Between Realms, a rising death metal act from California’s gold country. Formed in 2023 by longtime friends Jonny Burnett and Hayden Taylor, Between Realms season their modern death metal with thrash and black metal influences and shred-worthy 80’s-style guitar harmonies. Fronted by Monte Barnard (of Thy Art Is Murder/Fallujah fame) and powered by Gabe Seeber’s drumming (Vale of Pnath, Alterbeast, The Kennedy Veil), the band’s debut From Boundless Black (2024) quickly gained international traction – and now they’re poised to tear up the Portland stage.
Post Heaven Melodic Black/Death Metal
Don’t miss this rare chance to see four heavy-hitters in one venue, each delivering a unique strain of extreme metal – from experimental and progressive to melodic, blackened, and beyond. The Six Below Midnight (the subterranean venue beneath The Midnight Society bar) will rumble with blast beats and shredding solos all night.
