Lamb of God - Kublai Khan TX - Fit for an Autopsy - Sanguisugabogg

**Tix**: $86+ **Doors:** 6pm **Show:** 7pm **Lamb of God** is a titan of American heavy metal from **Richmond, Virginia**, whose aggressive style is often classified as groove metal, blending a thrash metal attitude with a distinct Pantera-esque rhythm and heavy riffs. They originally formed in 1994 under the name Burn the Priest and had to change their name a few years later to avoid being mistaken for a satanic metal band! 🔥 **Kublai Khan TX**, who hail from **Sherman, Texas**, deliver a ferocious sound often described as metallic hardcore or beatdown hardcore, utilizing heavily downtuned guitars, crushing breakdowns, and intensely raspy vocals that address socially conscious issues like human rights and police brutality. **Fit for an Autopsy**, based in **Jersey City, New Jersey**, are one of the genre's most prominent forces, evolving their core deathcore sound to incorporate broader elements of melodic death metal and progressive atmosphere, resulting in a sound that is both punishingly heavy and deeply emotional with a focus on lyrical despair and existential frustration. A cool fact is that guitarist Will Putney is also a highly respected and prolific metal producer who has engineered and mixed albums for a huge number of bands in the scene! 🎧 **Sanguisugabogg**, from **Columbus, Ohio**, play an absolutely filthy, savagely downtuned style of old-school death metal that's often described with terms like "caveman riffs" and "ignorantly heavy," all while maintaining a resolutely tongue-in-cheek and absurdly gory lyrical theme. The band's unusual name is a combination of "sanguisuga" (Latin for leech) and the British slang "bog" (for toilet), intended to evoke a "blood-sucking toilet." 🚽🩸
