Veterans of the Chicago heavy music scene come together to create dark and haunting slowcore. Starless seeks to convey darkness and light by combining heavy pounding instrumentation with voices in harmony.

Anatomy of Habit formed in Chicago in October 2008 and is composed of Alex Latus (guitar), Isidro Reyes (metal percussion), Skyler Rowe (drums), Mark Solotroff (vocals), and Sam Wagster (bass + lap steel). The band encompasses elements of doom metal, post-punk, death-rock, noise-rock, industrial, psychedelic, and shoegaze. The band's last album, "Ciphers + Axioms," was released by Relapse Records.

LAVISHER is a rock band from Chicago whose sleek riffs and time-bending grooves draw comparisons to Failure, A Perfect Circle, and Queens of the Stone Age. Their darkly uplifting songwriting is composed of minimalist poetry, textured guitar work, throbbing low end, and focused drumming. LAVISHER debuted in 2017 with a five-song self-titled EP. Their follow-up full-length Drastic Shadows was released in October 2019 via Philadelphia-based Nefarious Industries. Recording sessions took place in June of 2021, and new music will be released in the coming months.
