Event Details
JUCIFER
Jucifer's live shows are nothing short of a spectacle:  vocalist/guitarist Amber Valentine wails and riffs through a monolithic wall of amps while drummer Ed Livengood pounds his kit like a possessed John Bonham. Black. Metal. Doom. Grind. Huge.

"Jucifer wield a Sleep-like density and enough metallic power to jostle Ozzy back to sanity" - Alternative Press

"Throned In Blood(their latest release) may very well be the masterpiece Jucifer have been building up to their entire career... a religious experience" - Decibel

MAIDENS
Influenced by the likes of ISIS and Neurosis, Maiden's dynamic, brooding, crushing metal is undeniable.  This will be their final show. Milwaukee's loss....

    A mighty-riffing, screaming lady, a guy who can match her on drums, and a wall of amps are all a metal band needs to keep skulls bouncing. Athens, Georgia duo Jucifer, however, adds to these an ability to pivot from one brutal style to another. more at avclub.com
