Punk
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (also known as D.R.I.) are a United States hardcore punk/thrashcore/crossover thrash band that formed in Houston, Texas, in 1982. The band currently comprises founding members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as drummer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen.
D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries —most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, and Stormtroopers of Death— alongside whom they are considered pioneers of what would later be called "crossover thrash." This subgenre was also coined from their 1987 album Crossover.

Post-Hardcore
Supreme Mystic is the intersection where stoner rock and post hardcore collide into a unique blend of heavy music. A new venture comprised of fixtures from the Hardcore / Punk world embarking on a stylistic departure; while simultaneously drawing from a lifetime of musical warfare. Their debut offering ‘Kala Rupa’ is a thematic journey blending relatable contemplations into eastern mysticism.
In the industrial belly of Detroit, where machine noise & rebellion pulse in equal measure, a new sound has emerged. It is furious, transcendental, and carries something older than anger and louder than distortion. That sound is the untameable heavy music force Supreme Mystic. Defying categorization, their sound, described as Mo-Metal / Def Roc is a bold hybrid. Comprised of heavy stoner rock, post metal grit, spiritual mysticism, and raw Detroit power.

As the plague surrendered, BRAINBLEED invites the listener through lightning fast sets to engage with the darker state of affairs like creeping isolation, injustice, inequality, and not puking on our couch.
