We are a progressive metal band from Chicago, IL, and have been making albums since 2011. Founded by Austin Peters (guitar), the current line-up consists of Phil Kalas (bass), Ken Stebliy (guitar), Luke Angle (drums) and Kyle Kunkler (synths). Our newest record, The Return of Inertia 2.0, is a follow up to our 2021 release (A Vast Field of Silence) and takes the listener on an exciting rediscovery of the music that put our band on the map. Beyond releasing records, we also stream on Twitch, run a Discord dedicated to music discovery and production, and create tone and producer packs for guitarists and producers on Gumroad.

We, Warforged, are a Chicago death metal act, focused on refining our own take on death metal. We are playing exactly what we want to be playing, and what we feel that we can offer to the vast world of metal. Not only are we musicians, we are also huge fans of the genre as well, bringing our knowledge together to create some of the music that not only we enjoy, but that we know fellow fans of metal will enjoy.

Lucida Dark is a Post-Rock/ Metal band from Omaha, NE. Since their inception in 2018, their music has enthralled their audience with somber atmospheres which climax into vast walls of sound, bringing to mind the temporal nature of love and life while simultaneously not resisting the inevitability of loss and death.
