Four South West acts. One intimate room. Grassroots heavy music with the volume turned all the way up.
THE LINE-UP
LACERTA
NU-METAL • METALCORE • PLYMOUTH
PLYMOUTH NU-METAL BUILT FOR THE PIT.
Lacerta are a five-piece from Plymouth, bringing nu-metal weight together with metalcore, groove and progressive edges. Charlie Salter fronts the band, with Matt Thompson and Liam ‘Takikarin’ Emberson on guitars, John Hart on bass and a super secret special guest on drums.
Low-slung riffs, hard rhythmic turns and a live energy made for a packed room.
CARRIER
MELODIC METALCORE • HARDCORE • PLYMOUTH
BITTERSWEET METALCORE FROM THE OCEAN CITY.
Carrier are a Plymouth metalcore outfit whose sound balances melodic hardcore tension with bruising, cathartic heaviness. Their releases move between atmosphere, urgent hooks and breakdowns designed to hit hardest on stage.
ANTIVRUS
MELODIC METALCORE • NU-METAL • PLYMOUTH
These guys might have only formed a couple of years ago, but this four-piece is already tearing up the Southwest scene. If you’re into melodic metalcore, they hit that absolute perfect sweet spot, giving you all the heavy, nostalgic riffs you crave while still bringing something totally fresh to the table.
If you’ve caught them live, you already know the pure chaotic energy they bring to the stage. If not? You’d better get ready for the pit.
BLUNT IMPACT
HEAVY HARDCORE • SOUTH WEST
SOUTH WEST HEAVY HARDCORE WITH NO SOFT EDGES.
Blunt Impact deal in direct, breakdown-driven hardcore: confrontational riffs, physical grooves and a stage energy that pulls the whole room forward. Their own description says it plainly, South West heavy hardcore.
They are a sharp identity that is a fit for Rotten Roots and we can’t wait to welcome them!
FOUR BANDS. ONE PIT. NO HALF MEASURES.
Lacerta, Carrier, ANTIVRUS and Blunt Impact bring a full night of South West nu-metal, metalcore and hardcore to The Dead Famous. Get in early, support every band and make the first Friday of October count.
