Blunt Mansion
A distressing mashup of bare-bones sludge riffs, blast beats, and early American hardcore sentimentality, Blunt Mansion is a filthy foothills mutt with an excessively loud bark and a heavy bite. A collaborative effort from the great minds that brought you a bunch of heavy bands you’ve probably never heard of, you’re sure to remember this one, if only for the ringing in your ears the next morning. The finest in Appalachian stoner violence.
Elseetoss
Atmospheric black metal band Elseetoss formed in 2021 as a two member studio project with the release of self-titled “Elseetoss” followed by “Preagonal” in 2022. Elseetoss first appeared live with a full lineup in 2024 and have since continued to evolve, descending further into the Appalachian darkness with the release of this year’s intense, raw, and bleak atmosphere of Ablution.
Uberserker
Reconquering their hometown once more, black-thrash tour de force Überserker takes the stage at Barley’s once again. Their sound has been described as a train rolling over dynamite, and they plan on showing no mercy.
