Metal Blade Records has been an integral part of the music scene for over 40 years now. Besides being home to 5 of the bands featured on the festival: Rivers of Nihil, Revocation, Goatwhore, Gost & Wretched, they have an insane rest of the year lined up with some very exciting releases. The long-awaited 10th album, Servitude from The Black Dahlia Murder coming out next month, followed up by the October release of Ensiferum‘s Winter Storm which you can pre-order here. Metal Blade has an unthinkable catalog under their belt and we are so honored they are working with us to bring you The Metal Blade Stage at our festival next month.
Indie Merch Store is the premiere shop for all things band merch. You are guaranteed to find something missing in your merch or vinyl collection at any given time. Newly up for pre-order is a vast, exclusive Pig Destroyer line with shirts, skateboard decks, cassette, etc. Do you need a Cattle Decapitation hooded beach blanket? Of COURSE you do. What are you waiting for? Get one now. Grinders, keychains, koozies and fanny packs too. Indie Merch Store has something for you. See you at the Indie Merch stage.
The Haul of Horror hails from Massachusetts, a passion project by Gregory Smith who releases a specialized array of heavy ass shit as well as comic books, horror movies, retro games and tons of high quality new and used vinyl. One of the bands he released, VERMINDOG will be at the festival and we hope you are as excited as we are to see them.
Do you like riffs? Because D’Addario is slapping strings on every single guitar (and bass) that provides those riffs. D’Addario is committed to sustainably providing musicians with the most innovative musical accessories in the world, and continues to do so excellently.
Century Media are on fire with their list of stacked releases this year. We can’t imagine what this scene would be without them. Did you hear the new Lacuna Coil single featuring Randy Blythe yet? It’s insane. They have a ton of awesome releases on the horizon, like Blood Incantation, Unto Others, Vomit Forth. You can find them all here. Don’t miss Vitriol at the Metal Injection Festival either.
Hard Rock Café is a staple in the music world. Visiting any Hard Rock is an experience unlike any other, and your way to get close to rock history and memorabilia at every corner of the world. You could be dining next to Slash‘s shirt. That’s the only thing that could make their insane burgers taste better.
Napalm Records has been cranking out releases since 1992. Home to bands from Powerwolf to Tremonti to the very headliner of day one, Jinjer, Napalm knows what they’re doing. They have one of the most unique rosters of any independent metal label today and we sure are honored they chose to be a part of this special event.
If you’re into kick ass metal, then there is no doubt that you’ve seen Dunable guitars and basses on stage and around the internet. Dunable guitars, basses, and pickups are built, finished, and set up right in southeast Los Angeles, by a small team of skilled individuals who love guitars and riffs, and have dedicated their energy to making these guitars better and better every year. Check them out for some of the sweetest builds, and their ever growing line.
