About the bands:

You Will Die describes their music as “The soundtrack to someone’s last minute on earth before they headbutt a running tablesaw.”

Heroes Laid to Rest claims to “pummel the eardrums” with its music, influenced by Neurosis, The Melvins, early death metal and classic rock.

Carnosaur says, “We have come to destroy your crops, burn your homes, and devour your children.”
