Hand of Fire

Forged in the East Bay, Hand of Fire delivers a "loud and muscular" brand of modern thrash metal. Drawing influence from legends like Death Angel and Testament, they pair titanic riffs with a technical precision that has earned them critical acclaim across the Bay Area. Prepare for a "ripper" of a set featuring tracks from their debut Nuclear Sunrise and their latest single "Death Awaits".

Style: Modern Bay Area Thrash

For Fans Of: Testament, Exodus, Machine Head

Kavalkade

Representing the 40831 (Santa Cruz/San Jose), Kavalkade is a pioneer of the local Melodic Death Metal scene. Their sound is a brutal yet beautiful fusion of searing melodic riffs, punishing drum work, and rage-fueled vocals that capture the raw energy of the Central Coast underground.

Style: Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore

For Fans Of: At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy
