New World Sinner is the first to join this event as it is Metal Boots's band he fronts. New World Sinner has been in the Willamette Valley Metal Scene since Feb of 2008. N.W.S. has always made it their way to help their fellow bands in the scene as well as the community around them being part of multiple food drives, benefits and fund raisers over the years. Boots's moto is "do good things and have fun!". The Crowd's Entertainment is always in mind when they perform.
First to join N.W.S. in this event is "Damage Overdose!!"
They are a Native American Metal band Hailing from Warmsprings, Oregon. They have been raging the scene since 1997 and will hit the stage with us at this event for the first time. N.W.S. is so excited for this opportunity to finally play with such a killer independent metal band devoted to their fans and playing their tunes to any crowd ready to hear them shred.
Bloody Pineapples a international music project with a multitude of contributing members from all over the world on their recordings with a majority of its live performing members located in the Eugene and surrounding areas has been added to the bill by request. They bring a Unique flavor to every event with never knowing which members or how many members will participate in each event. Most of it's Eugene area members are very good friends of N.W.S. and were excited to be part of this event.
Coming in on request our old friends from the North "PROVEN!!!" Claiming the Portland area as home this old school influenced hardcore metal band rose to the occasion when asked to jump on the bill. Proven has been around for long than N.W.S. and has always been a great friend to us and we have shared the stage many times over the years.
Next Up to Join the Bill is "Harness" coming from the Salem area. Harness is a long time friend of N.W.S. and was eager to jump on this bill to aid in this great community event. Harness has taken some time off but is ready to come back and make a killer appearance for this event with some fresh faces added to the bands lineup.
