About Agriculture

https://agriculturemusic.com/

Extreme metal often embodies the bleakest aspects of existence, but for Los Angeles-based ecstatic black metal quartet Agriculture, blast beats and howling shrieks evoke joyful profundity. After meeting at an underground noise show in downtown Los Angeles — another scene known for its usually cynical perspective — Kern Haug and Dan Meyer began collaborating, using heavy music to portray overwhelming sublimity rather than crushing darkness. Quickly expanding their personnel, veteran guitarist Richard Chowenhill and bassist/songwriter Leah Levinson now round out the lineup as the band reaches for recursive themes of greater meaning.

About The HIRS Collective

https://hirs.bandcamp.com/

The HIRS Collective exist to fight for, defend, and celebrate the survival of trans, queer, poc, black, women and any and all other folks who have to constantly face violence, marginalization, and oppression. We are a collective of freaks that will never stop existing. Infinite and never ending. No one is going to kill us, we are going to live forever.

About Genital Shame

https://genitalshame.bandcamp.com/

Genital Shame, experimental black metal from Pittsburgh, PA, is the one-person project of Erin Dawson. Though Dawson is the only member of Genital Shame, she has recruited Stander (Chicago) as her backing band. On bass, drums, and guitar Stephen Waller, Derek Applebee, and Mike Boyd help Dawson veer from heavily distorted tremolo-picked guitar and distant propulsive drums to a gentle, bedroom pop ambience. Genital Shame, ultimately, is a queering of the sonic traditions and musical form of black metal.
