Reap What You Sow

—

"Cultist is a Christian heavy band from southern California’s Inland Empire. The framework of the band is unquestionably west coast beatdown hardcore with plenty of east coast influence, giving significant weight to their sound and amplified by lyrical gravity. They pull deathcore-style threads from The Last Ten Seconds of Life, dark metalcore vibes from Varials, and combine it with the raw heaviness fans have come to expect from the Facedown Records Family."

Trevor Bystrom

"Aaron Wolf is a reggae artist who draws from hip-hop and folk influences, shaping songs rooted in real life, reflection, and forward momentum. Coming out of California’s promising music scene, his work centers on resilience, gratitude, and the importance of community—music written for long drives, late nights, and the space between struggle and growth.

With songs like “Moving On” and “My People,” Aaron has taken his music across the country, touring nationally and landing on festival stages while finding his people and building a connected Wolfpack community around the music.”

Joey Wit

Will Quinlan

The Losing Game

—

"If Joey Wit had only been a short-lived professional baseball player, that would have been enough of a legacy to satisfy his adventurous spirit. But after three years and multiple concussions, when his career ended abruptly, he was blessed with the hard-earned realization that he never felt as alive or awake in athletics as he did writing and performing music. As a boy who grew up listening to classic rock in the likes of the Beatles and Stones, while drowning in guitar catalogs before and between little league games, his homecoming back to music was both a dream and the hardest thing he's ever done, yet where he's supposed to be.

Now, Wit is a tattooed indie rock singer with a sound influenced by contemporary alternative artists such as Wilco and Radiohead, along with the vintage progressive touch of bands like Yes and Pink Floyd, with an aspect of personal storytelling immersed in vulnerability. Featuring the single, "Reconsider," his debut record, "Eastern Standard" accumulated extensive radio play on the indie rock circuit. Wit and his band "stop and start their songs using the telepathy of familiar bandmates, infusing the material with dynamics that let the music go from a roar to a whisper of fingerpicking from one beat to the next," wrote The New Haven Independent. His songs lyrically describe deeply human journeys: Searching for someone to fall in love with; dreading the unknown; getting another, unexpected chance to run at a dream; making instant and profound connections at the wrong time; romanticizing past relationships. They portray, in equal measure, feelings of brokenness and of the glimmers of hope when piecing oneself back together. But they also pan back out to reflect a deeper belief, that the telling of these stories matter more than the stories themselves. That's what gets us through."

For Fear Itself

with

In Your Grave

The Wade Garrett Band

Black Hills

—

“Spearheading the Nu-Core movement from the heart of Maryland, For Fear Itself,  is showing the world that heavy music is still alive and well in Baltimore with their distinctive blend of Nu Metal, Metalcore, and Deathcore influences.

After losing countless friends and family members including his mother over the years to opiate addiction and even suffering with it himself, vocalist Tim Selden began to pour himself into what would become the January 2022 EP, Continuum, in hopes of creating something that would provide solace for those who have dealt with or are dealing with similar struggles. Featuring the likes of Lochie Keogh (Alpha Wolf) and John Matalone (VCTMS) with additional writing/production from Josh Ang () and mixing/mastering from Noah Williamson (In Dying Arms), Continuum racked up over 250,000 collective streams creating a wave that For Fear Itself has been riding since.

The band’s latest single RØT is an immediate shock to the senses that doesn’t let up. With eerie Korn-esque lead work and a blend of Nu-Metal and Metalcore reminiscent vocal stylings driving the songs hook, RØT gives a devastating glimpse into the cycle of opiate addiction, the pain felt by those left behind when an addict succumbs to their vices, and ultimately the anger felt toward those who continue to perpetuate and profit off of this cycle.”

Raven

"Sometimes, things just speak… or scream, roar, shout, maim, wound, beat, pulverize and destroy… for themselves. Exhibit A? All Hell’s Breaking Loose, the 15th studio album from Newcastle-born Heavy Metal pioneers Raven, set for release on June 30th 2023 on Silver Lining Music.

Their history as vanguards of that early ‘80s scene, of being label-mates in those early ‘80s with the likes of Metallica and Anthrax, is already legendary. It is a story of early success, a major label US deal a few years later, flurries of mainstream popularity followed by years of struggle, and the battles through personal misfortunes such as fires, theft, and injury. Ultimately, Raven’s history is testimony to the enduring power of music when it is absolutely what you are as a human being… which makes the fresh, new, and vital roar from All Hell’s Breaking Loose all the more triumphant, as well as an album which serves to propel Raven into 2023 with ear-shattering relevance.

It is no understatement to say these are 10 incessant, relentless modern Raven classics (11 if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on the Japanese edition), each with tantalizing flurries of twisting, explosive full metal riffery. Yet equally, it is far from just a blur, catching your ears with bespoke barbed hooks and consistently freshening, and shifting, the tempos.

Produced expertly by the band themselves at Mike’s Heaven And Heller Studios, All Hell’s Breaking Loose is as furiously committed as Raven have ever been."

"Lancaster, Pennsylvania metal act Nail Bite was formed in early 2021 by Johnnie Bitting. The original members of Nail Bite are Johnnie Bitting (Guitar/Vocals), Lonna Nelson (Vocals), Caiden Nelson (Keyboard), and John Bitting (Bass).

The 4-piece metal act is known for their diverse range of influences—they have been referred to as “avante-garde metal” as their wide mix of genres like EDM, trap, pop, world music, goth, weirdcore, and more is combined with the intensity of modern metal.

Nail Bite mixes singing, screaming, and extreme vocals with an array of sound that switches between brutally heavy and infectiously catchy melodies.

Since playing the biggest music festivals in the U.S.—Blue Ridge Rock Fest, Louder Than Life, Inkarceration, and Michigan Metal Fest (amongst others) Nail Bite is making waves across the nation."

Ciggy City Superband

"A student of Black underground sound and intention, Cleo Reed (née Ella Josephine Julia Moore) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice uses participatory art, music composition, instrument-making, bandleading, installation, and fabric arts. Raised in Uptown NYC and DC, Reed’s history with music starts with classical training in percussion at Harlem School of the Arts, to playing guitar and songwriting in the influential New York punk band Pretty Sick, to studying sound engineering and sound design at Berklee College of Music. Since releasing their debut album Root Cause in 2023—including a limited physical release with Vinyl Me, Please—Reed has emerged as a bold, rising talent, forging forward while staying firmly rooted in their ancestral and cultural lineage.

Reed’s sophomore LP CUNTRY is a sprawling folk-electronic offering exploring the rage that comes with grappling with the grips of labor — both on the body and in the American workplace. The album is just the beginning of the story — introducing a young, visionary artist with a singular voice and an unwavering commitment to honoring those that came before while subverting the status quo."

"Annie Dukes is a female rock band out of Florida. Their sound is a mixture of 70's rock with 90's rock/grunge tones, saturated with three part harmonies, heavy riffs and a driving melody.

Touring heavily over the last three years has landed the band direct support slots with artists like ZZ Top, Maggie Rose, Nita Strauss and The Record Company.

Early 2023, Annie Dukes released their first, self-titled EP. All recordings were done by Ben Mcleod at BRM Studio and mastered by Dark Art Audio. The songs are heavy hitting, anthem-like songs and define the band's true sound, solidifying their role in the rock ‘n roll scene.

During summer of '24, Cassidy Lee, the band's front woman was featured on season 26 of 'The Voice' where she performed and advanced through multiple rounds of the show. Following her appearance, the band did an extensive east coast tour.

The band's newest single 'Mother's China' is the first of multiple songs that will release in 2025."
