VOID
Formed in 2019 by vocalist Jackson Davenport, VOID is a haunted, technically sharp thrash/heavy metal force rising out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Blending razor-edged aggression with an eerie atmosphere, VOID stands at the crossroads of classic thrash intensity and dark, theatrical heavy metal. The band made its first major statement with their debut album Horrors of Reality in early 2023. The record introduced VOID’s uncompromising sound—fast, intricate riffing, commanding vocals, and a sinister edge—and was followed by a relentless stretch of touring that hardened the band on the road and built a growing underground following. That momentum led to VOID racking their first record deal, and the band then focused their efforts on crafting their most ambitious work to date: Forbidden Morals, a full-length concept album centered on a lost traveler’s descent into the castle of Vlad the Impaler. Dark, cinematic, and technically ferocious, the album marked a turning point for the band—putting VOID firmly on the map and opening the door to larger tours and wider recognition. Following the release of Forbidden Morals, VOID signed with Metal Blade Records to further carve their path in stone as one of the most compelling new voices in modern traditional metal.https://voidthrash.bandcamp.com/Phantom (Phantom G.D.L) is a young band from Guadalajara, Mexico, that has quickly established itself as one of the most solid and promising acts in Latin American metal. Their sound, rooted in relentless speed/thrash metal and a dark aesthetic, has allowed them to connect with international audiences and gain increasing recognition within the global scene.https://www.instagram.com/phantom__speed

Weaving Shadows, a story by W.H Holmes written in 1923 is one of the first American ghost stories filled with themes of pain, loss, anxiety, and failure.

Hickoids
42 years into a jagged and checkered career Hickoids are pleased to announce the “Still Trippin’” summer 2026 tour. The Austin Music Hall of Fame inductees began their wild ride back in 1984 – playing a psylocybin fueled (sour) mashup of punk, hard country, glam and psychedelic rock while gaining a reputation as one of the foundational acts of the cowpunk genre. Four decades on – led by original vocalist and co-founder Jeff Smith (the other four members from the band’s debut are all now deceased) alongside decade plus Hickoids Lance Farley (drums), Tom Trusnovic (bass), Cody Richardson (guitar) and relative newcomer at eight years Harvey McLaughlin (guitar and keyboards), the band continue to ply their trade delivering a singular, rowdy melange of Southern styles they refer to as “roadhouse punk” – at home on any stage and rendered with ample musical chops and showmanship. The upcoming tour will feature unique set lists each night called on the spot and culled from across the band’s catalog alongside unreleased tunes and audience faves. This will be the band’s first excursion to the Upper Midwest in almost 35 years, and their first shows in the Canadian province of Ontario as well as several other cities along the way. Since reforming in the latter half of the 2000s the band has played north of 800 shows across half the United States (including Alaska), Canada and ten European countries at punk clubs, blues and country bars and festivals.
