Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Mike Patton-endorsed doomgazing alt-rockers, serving crushing riff-scapes at a particularly satisfying juncture between post-hardcore, post-desert-rock, sludge and super melodic Deftones-esque nu-metal. Seismic dirges tailor made FFO: Smashing Pumpkins, BIG|BRAVE, Holy Fawn, NiN, Helms Alee, Jesu."

- Spotlights -
Two musicians—husband-and-wife duo Mario [guitar, synths, vocals] and Sarah Quintero [bass, guitar, vocals]—simply pick up their instruments and mainline dense distortion, spacey soundscapes, and unnervingly serene vocal transmissions directly from the heart. This unpredictable, yet unassuming sound quietly heralded their arrival in 2016 on the D.I.Y. debut LP, Tidals. Brooklyn Vegan stumbled upon the project and streamed “Walls.”
The song eventually entranced musician and producer Aaron Harris (ISIS/Palms) who shared it with his Palms singer and Deftones frontman Chino Moreno. An invite to open the Deftones summer tour followed as the band would go on to share the stage with everyone from Melvins, Hum, and Glassjaw to Pelican and Pallbearer. Ipecac Recordings fell under the band’s spell and signed them. The Harris-produced Seismic dropped on Ipecac Recordings in 2017 to acclaim from Revolver, Metal Injection, New Noise, MetalSucks, and many others. Between tours, 2018 saw them reveal the Hanging By Faith remix EP and one-off single “Kiss the Ring” [feat. Allen Epley].
After the group’s 2019 release, Love and Decay, 2023 brought their fourth album Alchemy For the Dead, cementing them as a driving force in the experimental and post-metal scene. We have the pleasure of bringing them to Bristol this June.
