And, to top it all off, we’ll have Nagoya Grind Legends UNHOLY GRAVE on the Sunday at The Garrison as well.

Those are the facts. It’s for you if you want it to be. If not, then it’s not.

Tickets for all Friday & Saturday gigs can be found here. You are able to purchase main fest passes & aftershow passes, as well as single fest and single after show tickets there. Pick your poison.
