THE SOUND AND FURY OF MISS MAY I IS DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF A LEGION OF FANS. THESE ARE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, OF DIFFERENT AGES, WITH DIVERSE LIFE EXPERIENCE, WHO ALL COME TOGETHER AND CONNECT WITH MISS MAY I’S COMBINATION OF BRUTAL PROFICIENCY AND IMPASSIONED DELIVERY. THE FIVE-PIECE POWERHOUSE, FROM THE FERTILE METALCORE GROUNDS OF AMERICA’S HEARTLAND, HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE WORLDWIDE HEAVY MUSIC COMMUNITY, TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES AND LIMITATIONS, GALVANIZING CROWDS, AND ENERGIZING EACH PERSON THEY ENCOUNTER.

Since 2008, The Word Alive have steadily maintained a course towards the forefront of alternative heavy music and have continued their upward trajectory ever since. The Phoenix-based quartet — Telle Smith [vocals], Zack Hansen [guitars], Tony Pizzuti [guitars], Matt Horn [drums] toss and turn between visceral power and entrancing emotionality encased in swathes of otherworldly electronics. It’s a singular sound that has naturally evolved since their debut record, Deceiver, and continued through their most recently release of Violent Noise. They’ve earned acclaim from the likes of Alternative Press, Revolver, Guitar World, and Modern Drummer and supported I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, A Day To Remember, Motionless In White, among others, and are known for their ability to ignite crowds across the globe. 2018’s Violent Noise represents the culmination of a decade and the unbreakable bond shared by the band and their fans. Telle, Zack, and Tony. Now, over 11 years after forming they continue to show they haven’t lost their spirit, as they’ve celebrated “10 Years Of The Word Alive” across America, Europe and the UK in 2019.    As a thank you to long time fans as they embrace change and continue to push boundaries, they will be pausing working on new music to bring you an unforgettable and highly demanded DECEIVER ENTIRETY TOUR with longtime friends and tour mates Miss May I.

Afterlife—vocalist Tyler Levenson, guitarist Andrew McGuire, drummer Luke Walkinshaw and bassist Tristan Edwards—emerged from West Palm Beach, Florida, at the tail end of 2016 with a clear vision of what they wanted to bring to the world with their music. Finding the intersection between Slipknot, Linkin Park and modern hip-hop, the band set out to create something both fresh and familiar.   Following up their fast and in-your-face Vicious Cycle EP, Afterlife’s debut album Breaking Point ambitiously tackles a variety of impactful topics from mental health and domestic assault to political apathy and the weight of guilt. Blending singing, screaming and rapping over a heavy, yet satisfyingly melodic landscape for a unique sound coupled with socially conscious lyrics, Afterlife are poised to influence this generation of heavy music.

Thousand Below walk a fine, almost illusory line. Deftly balancing atmospheric and airy instrumentation, thoughtful emotionality, and just the right amount of hard-hitting hypnosis, the Southern California quintet—James DeBerg [vocals], Devin Chance [guitar], Josh Thomas [guitar], Josh Billimoria [bass], and Garrett Halvax [drums]—descend into the dreamy depths of loss, love, and life reflected in art on their full-length debut, The Love You Let Too Close [Rise Records].
