A Tribute to Acid Bath Like Murder... started in 2019 by a group of local Cleveland, Ohio musicians and longtime friends, who gathered to celebrate and perform the underground heavy metal cult classic album "When The Kite String Pops" by Acid Bath. This happened on the 25th anniversary of the albums release. Long since defunct, in 1997, Acid Bath had grown into a cult following, bigger after the bands break-up then during its short lived gigging years. Like Murder... had intended to be a "one-off" show paying tribute to Acid Bath and their debut album. But with the resounding success of the show, to a sell out capacity audience in Cleveland, Ohio, it was clear that another show must happen. Two years later, Like Murder... resurfaced to celebrate "Paegan Terrorism Tactics", the unfortunate final album of Acid Bath, to yet another sold out show. Gig opportunities have surfaced for this band throughout the United States, making it clear that an audience exists. Like Murder... has begun the adventure of becoming the first ever, road ready Acid Bath tribute act. The goal of Like Murder... has been the same throughout, to bring audiences, many who never got the opportunity to see Acid Bath, a live and raw experience of the music of Acid Bath. We very much grew up on this music, lived it during its existence and want to share and keep the music alive for fans of Acid Bath, both past, present and future.

Chicago Deathcore/Hardcore Single "Slashed" to be Released Everywhere Oct 21st

Noisecore rawk power duo

With a mutual love for bands like Black Sabbath, Fu Manchu and Clutch and a desire to write the heavy tunes they wanted to hear, the Hÿss was formed by guitarists Dave Fitzgerald and Pat Kennedy in 2011. With the addition of drummer Mike Scales (Renegade A-Bomb, Victory Auto Rockers), the band slowly started crafting the bluesy doom, stoner rock and grunge inspired songs that would become their signature and began honing their live chops in earnest by early 2013. After recruiting old buddy and guitarist Bill Sullivan for the bass position and convincing formidable Renegade A-Bomb vocalist Matt McDonald to pick up the mic again, the Hÿss finally committed to tape some of their 20+ originals and released a self-recorded demo in August 2017. Since then, the band officially released the two 5-song bangers Hound & Extraterrestrial (both recorded by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording) and continued to play out across the Chicagoland area. In October 2022, the Hÿss headed to Berwyn Recording to record the final chapter of their EP trilogy Hÿss III: The Hÿssening. Recorded and mixed by Jackson Bomher (Theyrgy, Dead Sage Records) and mastered by Dennis Cimpeanu, Hÿss III showcases the best of the current Hÿss canon from the gate-crashing statement of intent "Are You Listening to the Hÿssening?" and cosmic garden vibes of "Gnome Ken Bone" to the harrowing tale of Cro-Magnon solitude that is "Silvio."
