Fire From The Gods delivers a fierce cross between melodic and heavy music, blending influences from Hard Rock, Metal, Hardcore and Hip Hop. Channeling personal struggle and social unrest into anthems built to move crowds and minds alike. With a reputation for high-energy live shows and a message that cuts through the noise, they are ready to bring the heat! There is an instant connection forged at every live show, from headlining gigs to international festivals (Rock Am Ring, Hellfest, Graspop, Aftershock, Warped Tour, etc). The band has shared stages with some of the biggest names in rock, metal and pop culture (Korn, Megadeth, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, FKA Twigs, Cypress Hill, Ice Cube, Metallica and many more) while continuing to carve their own lane. No filters. No Gimmicks. Just fire.  

Midwinter carve beauty from chaos with their emotionally charged brand of progressive metalcore. Blending punishing thall-infused riffs, lush ambient layers, and introspective lyrics, the Cleveland, Ohio based five-piece explores themes of loss, identity, and healing. Their sound design is immersive and intentional—layered with glitchy textures, dissonant melodies, and experimental production techniques that push genre boundaries and elevate every emotional peak and breakdown. The lineup consists of vocalist Billy Toth, guitarist/sound designer Zac D'Urso, drummer Nate Rosenhaus, bassist Max Underwood and vocalist/guitarist Kody Archer.
