RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #9:⁣ Heavy Necker – Rock and Modern Blues – Beverly, Massachusetts⁣ Get tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Heavy Necker are a North Shore Rock band who flirt with the blues, but who doesn't? They're almost certain that you do from time to time. Be honest, they'll know if you're lying. Tell the truth.⁣ ⁣ Formed in 2011, they have since been tossed into likeness with stoner-rockers, blues-rockers, retro-rockers, and just about any two words the mind can hyphen together. The band requests that you don't try so damn hard. Call it Rock and have a ride.⁣ ⁣ @heavynecker #heavynecker #rocknroll #rockandroll #blues #bluesrock #heavyblues #modernblues #rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #westernmass #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema
RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #8:⁣ Hivesmasher – Grind – Boston, MA⁣ Get your tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Hell didn’t want them.⁣ ⁣ Grindcore darlings HIVESMASHER were laid to rest in the summer of 2015 after a decade of sweaty van tours and filthy basement shows. Or so we thought. The Boston-based heavy metal group notorious for delivering highly-concentrated controlled chaos via fast, technical riffs, a powerful, driving rhythm section, and ferocious vocals is back. If that isn’t enough to excite their die-hard fans, they are also writing a new record, the follow up to 2012’s critically-acclaimed Gutter Choir.⁣ ⁣ The “angriest band ever” according to Guy Kozowyk (The Red Chord), Hivesmasher began as an angry side project by members of Boston bands Trinity Test and Entropy quite simply because “they enjoyed playing fast music.” Metal riffs combined with a punk and hardcore mentality solidified their signature sound.⁣ ⁣ “A fucking hurricane of shrapnel that makes you run for your fucking life” (Needs More Noise Gate), Hivesmasher is infamous for intense, raucous, unpredictable live shows. They have shared stages with countless heavy music luminaries including The Dillinger Escape Plan, Daughters, Pig Destroyer, and Converge. Their powerful live performances and pummeling records have commanded the attention of critics as well as garnered the respect of their peers. “Hivesmasher rules!” laudes Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer), and the late Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt once declared “I don’t mind them.”⁣ ⁣ Fans of brutal music have plenty to look forward to between upcoming tour dates, a highly-anticipated new album projected to arrive mid-2019, and maybe a few more surprises from the music scene zombies. The worms’ feast is over. Long live Hivesmasher.⁣ ⁣ @hivesmasher #grind #grindcore #rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #westernmass #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema
RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #7:⁣ Travel Amygdala – Progressive Grunge Metal – Revere, MA⁣ Get tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Travel Amygdala is a band based out of Revere, Massachusetts founded by brothers Derek and Joshua Jackiewicz in 2007. Their sound is a fine blend of highs and lows on all levels. ⁣ ⁣ "When we place the word ‘travel’ in front of ‘amygdala’, we are trying to make it visual, giving the name the same texture our music has. We ‘travel’ through our ‘fears and rage’, driven by our past which respectively affects our future. We represent the journey of life. We are the waves, hills, currents, quakes, and sunny days. We are your happy place and your biggest fears all put in front of you screaming in your face."⁣ ⁣ The band to date has released two EPs, toured regionally and plan to release new music coming into 2019. Influences include Pink Floyd, Alice In Chains, Primus, Korn, System Of A Down, and more.⁣ ⁣ “Chaotic yet musically logical song structures, heaviness, ambience, crushing breakdowns, uplifting melody [...] Influences at times evident; the grunge, the prog, the thrash [...] It’s a blend of their own that they just don’t present, they wear.”⁣ - Joe “Chaos”, The Chaos Collective⁣ ⁣ @travelamygdala #travelamygdala #grunge #grungemetal #progmetal #progressivemetal #progressivegrunge #rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #heavymetal #deathmetal #westernmass #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema
RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #6:⁣ Crimespree – Punk Rock – Plympton, Massachusetts⁣ Get tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Crimespree Is an explosively energetic punk rock band from Plymouth County, MA, carefully infused with elements from hardcore and thrash metal. ⁣ ⁣ Crimespree started in 2014 and began playing shows and recording music under the name of "Interfectum". During that time, they went on to record their 7 song EP "Guilty By Disassociation" and share the stage with local legends such as OC45, Stray Bullets, Micky Rickshaw, and many more. ⁣ ⁣ Soon after opening for DRI, Interfectum had a dramatic change in lineup and changed the band name to Crimespree. Once established as Crimespree, the band quickly began to tour the United States and establish themselves as a predominant catalyst in the punk rock movement, pushing the genre to the limit and speaking out against unjust social traditions. With a healthy deviation from the norm, Crimespree is greatly influenced by Good Riddance, Bad Brains, Pour Habit, NOFX, and Career Suicide.⁣ ⁣ @crimespreepunk #crimespree ⁣#rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #heavymetal #punk #punkrock #hardcorepunk #westernmass #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema

RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #5⁣ Moon Tooth – Rock & Roll – Long Island, NY⁣ Get your tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Moon Tooth began its journey at the end of 2012. Founding members Nick Lee and Ray Marte‘s previous band had dissolved and they quickly found a musical and philosophical kinship with singer John Carbone and bassist Vincent Romanelli. The band went straight to work writing and constantly gigging. They broke 100 shows in their first year with a relentless DIY ethos and quickly built a following with their intense and infamous live performances.⁣ ⁣ In February of 2016 the band self-released its first full-length LP 'Chromaparagon' to much critical acclaim. The track “Igneous” was featured on Apple Music’s A+ List for metal and was also played regularly on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal. Between the release of ‘Chromaparagon’ in February 2016 and its first anniversary in February 2017 Moon Tooth had done over 130 shows with some highly notable acts, making for over 400 shows total in their career thus far. ⁣ ⁣ Moon Tooth gained the attention of renown record producer Machine (Lamb of God, Clutch, King Crimson, Everytime I Die…). The producer was so intrigued by the potential in the band’s blend of heavy, progressive riffs and melodic, soulful vocals that he reached out to the band directly. Machine enlisted the help of Lamb of God’s Mark Morton for pre-production to truly make it a unique and explorative experience for everyone involved. ⁣ ⁣ The band spent the last week of 2017 at Mark’s home in Richmond, VA sculpting the raw material that would become their second full-length LP 'Crux’. The word “Crux” is defined as the “decisive or most difficult point of an issue.” The album ‘Crux’ tells the story of the band at this crucial point where the past must die so new life can begin.⁣ ⁣ @moontoothshreds #moontooth⁣ #rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #rocknroll #progressiverock #progrock #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema
RPM Fest 2019 Band Announcement #4:⁣ Necronomichrist – Extreme Progressive Metal – Orange, MA⁣ Get your tickets now: http://rpmfest.org/tickets⁣ ⁣ Only in the darkest music can brutality and beauty find common ground. In quietly progressive western Massachusetts is an unapologetic sound driven by powerful percussion, soul-crushing riffs, and led by one of the most elegantly vicious voices in extreme metal today. Necronomichrist produces well-crafted chaos that exceeds the ambiguity of mass-produced metal and yields their unmistakable sound in anguish. The unquiet quartet consisting of original members Kendall "Pariah" Divoll (drums, keys) and Nathan Plummer (bass), along with Bill Sawin (vocals) and Lenny Patterson (guitar, backing vocals) are a brotherhood of brutality tempered only by the precision of their art.⁣ ⁣ Heading into a 2019 tour season, Necronomichrist has already shared a stage with such national acts as Death, Gorguts, Cradle of Filth, Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Six Feet Under, and Deicide. Intent on sharing their work with the world, Necronomichrist lateste EP was released January 1st, 2019, produced by drummer Pariah and featuring art by guitarist Lenny Patterson, that will showcase their musical evolution and dedication to over 12 years of dissolution. Keep a watchful eye on the horizon and one foot in the abyss. The Dissolute are coming.⁣ ⁣ @necronomichrist #necronomichrist #rpmfest #rpmfest2019 #heaviestpartyofthesummer #musicfestival #heavymusicfestival #rockfestival #metalfestival #punkfestival #heavymetal #extrememetal #progressivemetal #deathmetal #westernmass #newengland #massachusetts #montaguema
