Upon their resurrection in 2011 like a phoenix from the ash, the 2014 release of "The Path of Apotheosis" spread like wildfire gaining worldwide attention. That legendary flame was soon fueled by the thunderous firestorm of their 2018 release entitled “Revenant”. Featuring legends such as Trevor Strnad from The Black Dahlia Murder and the shred god James Malone from Arsis, “Revenant” landed at #26 Hard Rock albums and #28 on the Billboard’s Heatseekers charts solidifying them as a household name in the underground technical death metal scene. This led them to embark on several tours across the world with bands such Rivers of Nihil, Archspire, Shadow of Intent, Signs of the Swarm, Brand of Sacrifice, Obscura, and more. **About Vitriol** *https://vitriol.fanlink.tv/sufferandbecome* Racking up serious pre-release praise from within the metal media, "Pain Will Define Their Death" sets forth Vitriol's sound in no uncertain terms. Through the EP's four tracks, the Portland, Oregon band lashes out with a style rooted in the turn-of-the-millennium works of Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, and Nile. Vitriol's three members – guitarist/vocalist Kyle Rasmussen, bassist/vocalist Adam Roethlisberger, and drummer Scott Walker – attack the hallowed genre with a fresh aggression that cannot be faked. Dense, visceral, overwhelming, Vitriol's tornado of sound is familiar but new. **About Greylotus** *https://linktr.ee/greylotus* Greylotus is a progressive technical death metal band from Baltimore, Maryland. Combining influences from all edges of the modern metal frontier, Greylotus crafts various dynamic walls of sound, ranging from passages of blisteringly technical riffs and artillery-esque blast beats, to emotional and melodic harmonies and choruses, to soundscapes brimming with ambient, orchestral, acoustic, and synth elements. After establishing the foundation of their sound in the 2018 EP, ‘Savior’, they went to work writing for their debut full-length ‘Dawnfall,’ a genre-defying experience highlighting the wide array of influences each member brings to the table. Greylotus serves to provide a narrative for self-development through metaphor following the lotus flower’s life cycle in their lyrics. They seek to leave memorable emotional postcards that listeners can connect with and reflect upon. **About Demon King** *https://linktr.ee/demonkingofficial* Hailing from Nashville, TN, DEMON KING aims to be one of the reigning champs of the death metal world.
With its formation in 2019, former ENFOLD DARKNESS frontman and prominent guitarist Matt Brown came out of an early retirement to bring the riffs once again. He was promptly joined by technical wizards Malcolm Pugh (INFERI, A LOATHING REQIUEM) on bass and Jack Blackburn (ex-INFERI, ex-VITAL REMAINS) on drums.
In 2021, DK inked a deal with extreme metal record label THE ARTISAN ERA, and shortly after the signing, the trio dropped their first EP, THE FINAL TYRANNY, which was welcomed to popular as well as critical acclaim.
After it’s release, drummer Jack Blackburn decided it was time to part ways with the project, but by 2022, the group had picked up masterful drummer Chason Westmoreland (ex-THE FACELESS, ex-HATE ETERNAL, ex-BURNING THE MASSES) as they were entering the studio for their next recording effort.
Entitled VESANIA, Demon King’s second studio production is an expansion and elaboration upon the style established on their The Final Tyranny EP, and it’s set to be released worldwide through The Artisan Era on March 10, 2023.
With the heaviest of hitters on board and proper support garnered, Demon King is poised for the most brutal of aural assaults. Rising Sun Presents This is a 21+ event
