Invoker
Like a poison, or an infectious disease, it enters you without you noticing, sneaking into your bloodstream and spreading upwards to the meninges of your brain. Before long, it finds a home—lodged in the crevices of your brain—and from there, it spreads, growing into a full fledged parasite, gnawing away at your sanity. Before long, you are hollow, a shell of your former self. This is the full, relentless effect of Invoker—an up and coming, unstoppably heavy North Carolinian quintet from some of the same evil minds behind deathcore juggernauts Impale the Betrayer. By combining hard-hitting, filth-laden riffs with slamming, bone-busting brutality and skin-shredding technicality—all topped off with a unique dual-vocal assault—Invoker are leading the charge into new and inventive territory somewhere in the no man’s land between devastating deathcore and technically-savvy, groovy metalcore.
Invoker are just as dedicated to delivering their demoralizing, down-tuned brand of destruction to their fans doorsteps as they are making it. With their first seven tours completed in 2014 covering most of the country, along with the release of their incredibly well received and addicting debut album "Death Is Inevitable", this crushing quintet are relentless in their effort to make themselves known across the nation. “Execute Order 66,” “Digression” and “The Human Stain” all display different sides of the band’s multifaceted dynamic—a dynamic that is sure to be filled out and put on display for the band’s next big release, due later in 2015. Further proof the band’s hard work has warranted much-deserved attention. So whether its with an awe-inspiring, life-taking live performance or through their incessant need to write and release more music for their fans to thrive on, Invoker are slowly but surely infecting every set of ears across America—and there is no sign of them slowing or stopping.

Fall Of Corruption
From the debris of past accomplishments and failures comes Fall Of Corruption. A five piece emerging with a sound unlike anything you've ever heard before. After years of talk between drummer James Bosworth and guitarist Joel Writesman, FoC (Fall Of Corruption) began with an approach to hitting the scene with a new style of fast paced melodic metal. With the addition of guitarist Jason McCoigs heart felt leads and melodic chorusus FoC started to take shape. After talk with with vocalist Josh Pullen FoC got the brutal screams, growls and fist pumping vocals that would set them apart indefinitely. All that was needed now was Tommy Lemerond on bass to bring the drive and thunder that FoC needed to become one of the most versatile metal bands on the scene. Get ready because when we're on the bill your mind will be blown by an insane live performance and you will leave replaying our tunes over and over until you can't stand it anymore and somehow you find yourself at another one of our shows. So get ready to rock out with us and make it out to a show!!

Animus Remains
Formed in North Carolina, USA, in 2012, out of the ashes the Metal scene, Animus Remains, We are a group of very talented odd balls! Though very different outlooks on life, it is what gives us our unique creativity and friendship. Music transcends our barriers, uniting us, who on the surface may seem to have little in common. That is what enables us to accomplish our goals as musicians, creating a new powerful sound. How we view music as a group, is also where our bands name stems from, Because what we end up doing in our everyday lives, be it from reading to games, TV shows, hangouts, and friends, as well the music we listen to. It’s our Animus Remains as to how and why we can get along and work together so well…, keep in mind that a lot of our music is about internal conflict and the feelings within everyone; love, happiness, loss and sadness. We do run on the darker side of emotional living; our thoughts go to longing, pain and sadness. But there's always room for a way out and for celebration, even in the darkness. Music is a form of expression, which comes from the heart. There is no such thing as better just different. Animus Remains is just that… Different! … We have No egos and play no games! Just great music that is creative and original. We are Exploding as a new and exciting band… Our Music meeting the expectations of all metal fans, and rocks the place with hard hitting theatrical vocals. We are taking our place in the music Industry with Pride and Passion…
