VICIOUS ATTACK
Vicious Attack is an extreme thrash metal band from the southside of Chicago, Illinois. Formed during the summer of 2007, the band immediately made their presence known playing shows through the city and suburbs. In January of 2008 Vicious Attack recorded a two track demo with Bob O’Connor of Creature Feature Studios and distributed it through the area. They continued to hammer out shows throughout Chicago-land, playing major venues like Reggie’s Rock Club and The Beat Kitchen, and continued to cement their reputation as a fierce, energetic live act. In March of 2009 Vicious Attack recorded their Blade of the Reaper EP. Engineered by Bob Pop and Mike at Gunpoint Studios and mastered by Joe Diliberto at Tonal Eclipse Studios, Blade of the Reaper showed the band progressing into a faster, more focused sound. Vicious Attack released their first full length album, Declaration Of War, on April 10th, 2021.
Vicious Attack has had the pleasure to share the stage with D.R.I., Evile, M.O.D., Havok, Hatchet, Jungle Rot, Degradation, Lair of the Minotaur, Merciless Death, Lazarus A.D., Bonded by Blood, Early Man, Exmortus, Diamond Plate and many others.

TYPICAL CATS
In an era of havoc and mayhem, political theft and false patriotism, a cadre of highly skilled flow technicians abandon the sinking ship of state to bring the word to the streets. That grievous enemy of the listeners and true heads, “the Establishment” fully aware that the people need beats and rhymes to live, have embarked on a campaign of sonic terrorism. Flooding minds and airwaves with pollutants while grudgingly distributing real hip hop in tainted and dwindling doses.
Determined to derail this morbid status quo, Typical Cats risk the charge of treason to form an underground civil service to freely circulate raw music to the masses. No agenda to push, no president to answer to, no plastic capsules, no commercial breaks.

UGLY RADIO REBELLION W/ IKE WILLIS
Ugly Radio Rebellion was originally formed in July 2002 as a Detroit, MI band known as Uncle Meat. Guitarist Scott Schroen felt inspired to start a project consisting of everyone and anyone capable of playing the music of Frank Zappa. An ad was placed in the local paper simply stating, “musicians wanted to perform the music of Frank Zappa” and so ensued a few weekends of what was later dubbed, “Zappa Survivor”. Groups of musicians would essentially drill selected pieces during rehearsal and later everyone would vote on who they think should stay for the next round. After a few no-shows, a few driven to quit by musical intimidation and a collection of other circumstances, the few that were left from the ‘survivor’ sessions ultimately became the lineup for Uncle Meat. The project performed FZ around the greater Detroit area until the last show on FZ’s birthday, December of 2003. With only a few adjustments, Uncle Meat was disbanded and Scott Schroen and Preston Parish reformed the project as…

VADER
From breaking barriers as the first death metal band behind the Iron Curtain to secure an international record deal in the early ’90s to sharing the stage with Slayer and Metallica in front of tens of thousands of fans years later, Vader have cemented their status as true road warriors over the past 40 years. With 12 albums under their belt, they continue to deliver high-quality music, staying relevant to both longtime devotees and new generations.
Formed in Olsztyn in 1983 and named after Star Wars’ infamous dark lord, Vader went through numerous lineup changes with founding vocalist/guitarist Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek remaining its driving force since day one. Originally rooted in heavy/speed metal, influences from Slayer, Kreator or Dark Angel made Vader grow into something far more brutal. After years of shows in Eastern Europe and various demos – like the legendary “Morbid Reich” – they signed with Earache Records releasing “The Ultimate Incantation” (1992) as the band’s international debut.
After their departure from Earache, Vader’s sound evolved dramatically, resulting in classic albums such as “De Profundis”, “Black to the Blind”, and “Litany”. In 2009, Vader joined Nuclear Blast where they’ve released five albums to date.
Now, in 2025, Vader proves to be as ferocious and unyielding as ever on its new EP, “Humanihility”, which will be presented live on the “March of the Unbending” tour and the upcoming “Summer Rampage” festival run.

TRIALS
Chicago modern metal powerhouse TRIALS is set to make a triumphant return on May 1st with the release of their sophomore album, “In the Shadow of Swords.”
Coming off the heels of their 2011 debut, “Witness to the Downfall”, “In the Shadow of Swords” sees the band take their blend of melodic death and muscular, technical thrash to the next level. Don’t mistake those words for the typical promotional hyperbole either. TRIALS has truly upped the ante where aggression, songwriting and sheer metallic power are concerned.
