Organectomy:
The Southern Slamming Brutal Death juggernaut, freshly returned from a European/UK tour in support of Suffocation and Sanguisugabogg, is poised and ready to decimate home soil with these two shows, bringing their signature style of slams to the masses.
Plague Of The Fallen:
Brutal/Death metal powerhouse touring on the back of a fantastic album release, Amongst the Rats, and a recent tour supporting Cattle Decapitation. Plague are ready to bring a vicious set on the road, violence will be assured!
Wallet Inspector:
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, 4-piece instrumental group Wallet Inspector blend many styles to create a unique progressive metal sound borrowing elements from technical death metal, jazz fusion and funk. Making their live debut in 2021, the band has supported acts including The Omnific, Dyssidia, James Norbert Ivanyi, Stephen Taranto and Whoretopsy. Wallet Inspector are currently finishing up the recording of their debut album set for release in mid 2024.
Glassblower:
Returning to fly the Ritual Division banner once more, Te Whanganui-a-Tara's Glassblower run the tightrope with their blend of mathcore deathgrind, leaving injuries and Jordan Peterson tears in their wake. Traveling back to Christchurch for the first time since 2022's Tombstoned IV, Glassblower are ready to deliver a high speed confrontational campaign of riffs from their unreleased new material, alongside selections from previous exhibits "Younger than Old Money" and "Generation Loss".
Obligatory Fiend:
Formed in 2022 Obligatory Fiend are a NZ Deathcore collective of ex Bow Messiah members and locally based musicians, a visceral vision of brutal breakdowns and catchy melodic leads brings simplicity and dexterity to the genre. With 2 professionally released singles and their first EP in the making this will be a highly anticipated debut performance.
