About this Event
Brace yourself for a night of crushing, cutting-edge metal on Saturday, May 3rd as The Six Below Midnight hosts a quadruple onslaught of extreme music. Four bands – each pushing the boundaries of death metal – will share the stage in an intimate underground venue, delivering an unforgettable evening of sonic brutality and technical prowess.
Aseitas (Portland, OR) 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)
aseitas.bandcamp.com, continuing to obliterate genre boundaries with complex, crushing riffs. From Sacramento, Wastewalker will unleash a torrent of melodic death metal fused with metalcore ferocity. Formed by ex-Conducting from the Grave guitarist John Abernathy and Alterbeast vocalist Cam Rogers, Wastewalker has been making waves since their debut Funeral Winds and latest EP Trapped Between Realms of Suffering (2024).
Not to be outdone, 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. Opening the show is 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 M**der/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.
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.
