scrape
North Carolina-based volume-as-aesthetic rock band scrape straddles the industrial minimalism of noise rock expressionism with boundary pushing avant-punk experimental rock upon an entirely unique brand of mechanized vocal modulation to nest in a fever dream of alt metal originality. scrape finds solace in sludge, doom, and grunge to craft a kaleidoscopic view of reality within a complex biosphere of metal genres.

Wailin Storms
Originally formed in the unrelenting heat of Corpus Christi, Texas, WAILIN STORMS migrated east and ended up in Durham, North Carolina. Their sound is justly a mix of doom-punk and swampy rock, as elements of their prior and current surroundings culminate into a unique and volatile brew. Stamped with eerily dark and ominous vocal elements reminiscent of bluesy masters like Howlin’ Wolf and Samhain with emotive nods to Destruction Unit, Bauhaus, and Jesus Lizard, the band’s output is incessantly passionate and harrowing in its entirety.
EVIL EYE
Formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in late 2023, Evil Eye is a powerhouse trio of heavy, fuzzed-out rock & roll owing to the likes of Grand Funk Railroad, Mountain, and naturally, Black Sabbath. Their debut album, Wizard War I is a love letter to heavy rock from the 1970s spanning territory from flat-out motorcycle rock to laid-back stoner grooves. Evil Eye delivers thick riffs, soaring guitar solos, spacey vocal howls and a rhythm section with a fiercely classic attitude.
