September 12, 2010 @ 06:00pm - Despised Icon - FINAL U.S. TOUR
Despised Icon
French Canadian death metal/deathcore band. Despite their appearance as total wiggers (see: sideways brim hats, hardcore "bro" attitude, etc.), this band is one of the very few good deathcore bands. Their early material is more death metal and less "core" while recent stuff exhibits more of the latter. They put on a hell of a show and this will be the last time to ever see them, as they're calling it quits in hopes of living more "normal" lives. Heh.
Misery Index
Does anyone REALLY need a description of this ridiculously amazing band? Even if you don't enjoy Despised Icon's deathcore style, going to see Misery Index is more than worth the price of the ticket.
Revocation
Perhaps THE BEST new death thrash band. These guys are absurdly good. Previously known as Cryptic Warning (check out "Sanity's Aberration", their only release under that moniker), they are currently touring to support their new album "Existence Is Futile".

September 26, 2010 @ 09:00pm - Doomed to Suffer & Philly F/M Fest Present:
COUGH
rnDoomed at heart but with a healthy appreciation for filthy sludge and bong-ripping psychedelia, this drugged-out quartet draw upon the power of the almighty riff to unleash their crushing odes to the infinite. Even their name is a dead giveaway – ever really listen to the beginning of “Sweet Leaf?” There you go. This year will see the recent Relapse signees releasing a split with UK doom heroes The Wounded Kings on the always-excellent Forcefield Records, embarking on their first-ever European tour this spring, then rolling across the USA in November. Thank Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, and a LOT of weed for making this band possible.
GHOLAS
"This New Jersey-based quartet shares members with local heavyweights Deathbeds, but has carved out its own niche within the city's heavy music scene, blowing eardrums and dropping jaws with their spaced-out progressive metal compositions. Equal parts Mogwai, Mouth of the Architect, Russian Circles, Jesu, and Sonic Youth, Gholas are a rare and compelling sort of band, one with its own aesthetic, sound, and raw, beating heart."
SADGIQACEA
rnHeavy, slow, and atmospheric progressive doom from one of the Philly underground's rising stars. SADGIQACEA (sad-juh-kay-shuh) is a ferocious and epic power duo from the Philadelphia/South Jersey Shore area, using detuned guitars and thundering percussion to create a shape-shifting foundation of dripping darkness, while soaring vocals and echo-drenched strings pierce through the toxic sludge, painting a face-melting lucid dream of metaphysical pain and ecstasy.

October 13, 2010 @ 08:00pm - Unearthly Trance/Jonathan Canady/Suma/Batillus
Unearthly Trance
Formed in 2000, NYC’s Unearthly Trance quickly rose to become one of the forefront acts in the doom metal scene releasing material on leading labels like Southern Lord, Rise Above Records and Relapse Records as well as touring with heavy yet diverse bands such as Morbid Angel, Pelican, Electric Wizard, Sunn O)), Grief, Om, Floor, Earth, Eyehategod and various power electronic/noise acts. Although categorized as doom metal, Unearthly Trance’s music draws inspiration from other forms of extreme music like black metal, death metal, crust punk, ambient and drone.rn
Jonathan Canady
Canady is a prominent artist in the realm of experimental/ambient/noise and power electronics. The many projects on his music resume include Dead World (1991-1999),The Urge Within ( with David E Williams), the legendary Deathpile (1995-2004), Angel of Decay (2002-2008) and Nightmares (2009 to present, with Bloodyminded's Mark Solotroff and Luasa Raelon's David Reed). Canady's dark experimental music career culminated in the recording of the soundtrack for the independent horror movie "The Mind." Canady and Uneartly Trance will have an onstage collaboration for this set.
Suma
Hailing from Sweden, Suma is a stoner/doom metal band that has a dark heavy, slowly menacing drone and bombastic psych tied together with howling vocals and bludgeoning percussion. With two current albums both engineered by the renowned Billy Anderson (The Melvins, Neurosis) and extensive tours of Europe with bands like Boris, Cave In, Nadja, Disfear, Ramesses and Unearthly Trance, these masters of the hypnotic riff are poised to break ground (and melt speakers) on their first US tour.rn
Batillus
With songs that move from bristling blast beats to subterranean crawls, Batillus (buh-TILL-us) cohere the extremes of heavy music into a surge of massive riffing, rolling over and descending on the listener with the force and intensity of a sudden storm. The New Yorker describes Batillus as "a sludgy four-piece that slows monstrous Black Sabbath riffs to a crawl to produce highly textured compositions of droning doom-metal," and Revolver calls their music "beyond-atmospheric blackened doom."rnrn
