On Friday, November 7th, the sonic universe bends, warps, and does unnecessary time signature changes as Afterlight, Grays Road, and Aware Wolves descend upon Cabana Bar, Napier for one mind-melting night of prog metal and heavy groove.This isn’t just a gig. This is a full-scale expedition into soundscapes that will twist your brain, tickle your spine, and possibly make you question whether 4/4 time even exists anymore.
Afterlight (Tauranga // instrumental prog metal) — Expect riffs sharper than a cutlery aisle and melodies vast enough to swallow galaxies whole.
Grays Road (Hastings // prog/hard rock) — Bringing crunchy riffs, big choruses, and the kind of grooves that make bass players feel smug.
Aware Wolves (Napier // prog groovecore) — Heavy, unpredictable, and possibly the only band that could play a breakdown in 11/8 and still make you want to headbang.
If you’ve ever wanted to witness math, emotion, and distortion pedals combine into something almost spiritual (and definitely loud), this is the night for you.
🎟️ Tickets are cheaper than your last set of guitar strings — don’t wait until the door tax punishes you.
🍻 The bar will keep you hydrated while your brain dehydrates from the sheer complexity.
Thursday, Nov 7 — Cabana Bar, Napier
Doors: 8pm | First riff: shortly after your first beer
Get your tickets, bring your friends, and prepare for a night where the only thing in 4/4 will be your heartbeat trying to keep up.
