Excessive Command (Worcester, MA)

I’ve seen them pull as much as a gig in an armored automobile wielding handles of Hennessy. Their guitarist Ryan is a fellow thumb-gunner. Excessive Command events.
Mast (Portland, ME)
Model new badass band from Maine who play a hard-hitting stomp within the vein of Buzzov•en, Sourvein and Eyehategod. However don’t get confused, this ain’t southern sludge. These boys are from frigid chilly Maine, and that chill comes via the music. We’ve drank lengthy into the evening with these boys, raging underneath the “freezing moon.” They will dangle.
Swamphead (Boston, MA)
Down tuned dirge music is alive and effectively because of bands like Swamphead. Not solely are their riffs utterly soaked in beer, however Chris (guitar/vocals) is a head brewer at Widowmaker Brewery. This band embodies the sensation of getting an ice chilly tall boy in your hand, a roach between your lips, and two eyes rolled again in your head as you bang your head off your shoulders.
Mom Iron Horse (Salem, MA)
Our fellow Modelo-loving freaks! Our brothers. These guys are what metallic from New England seems like. It’s imply, weathered, and can kick your ass! We’ve performed numerous gigs collectively, toured collectively, and possibly drank 1000+ Modelos collectively.
Face First (Boston, MA)
Think about if Mike Muir wished a Colt 45 as a substitute of a Pepsi? That’s Face First. These guys are thrash metallic punks and their power is infectious. It’s music that makes you need to chug your beer and huck it blindly throughout the pit. Me and Joe (drummer) have sat round consuming beers and speaking heavy metallic until our sentences stopped being coherent.
