Havokwith Hellripper, Slackjaw, and Xoth
HAVOK
Havok is an American thrash metal band formed in Denver, Colorado in 2004. They are widely recognized as one of the core leaders of the modern "thrash metal revival" scene. Frontman David Sanchez remains the band's sole original member, primary songwriter, and driving creative force. Havok blends the blisteringly fast, technical guitar work of 1980s thrash metal with precise modern production. Their high-energy sound heavily incorporates influences from death metal, hardcore punk, and progressive rock. Lyrically, the band focuses heavily on intense sociopolitical themes.
HELLRIPPER
Hellripper is a Scottish black metal and speed metal solo project formed by multi-instrumentalist James McBain in 2014. Dubbed "Scotland's King of the arcane mosh" by Metal Hammer, the project is heavily inspired by old-school underground metal legends like Venom, Darkthrone, and Motörhead. While McBain writes and records all music independently in the studio, he recruits a full touring lineup for high-energy live performances.
SLACKJAW
Slackjaw is an independent American heavy metal trio hailing from South Carolina, known for their aggressive blend of groove metal and classic heavy metal. Formed in 2017, the band gained a massive online following completely independently, operating without a record label or formal management.
XOTH
Xoth (pronounced "ZOTH") is an active, extreme metal band based out of Seattle, Washington, that seamlessly blends technical death metal, thrash, and modern black metal with sci-fi and dark fantasy themes. Formed in 2014, the quartet has built a cult following for their complex, fast-paced cosmic auditory journeys. The band's lyrical content leans heavily into space exploration, cosmic horrors, and sci-fi mythology. They are highly praised for high-velocity guitar work and complex song structures.
