For Trousdalethe trio of Quinn DAndrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jonesthe ache of growing through change, of facing down existential anxiety, and matters of the heart are all intimately familiar. We can acknowledge the strides weve made and be grateful, but weve talked a lot about how tired we are, Jones says with a laugh. Weve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change, wanting it, fighting it, embracing it, but learning to thrive in that moment. On Trousdales upcoming LP, Growing Pains (due April 11th), the band works through those struggles to find strength, courage, and growth in each other. From what was, something new can always grow, DAndrea says.Opening on a ripping electric guitar and bolstered by their trademark harmonies, the title track and lead single perfectly encapsulates those feelings in the life of Trousdale. Im making it through the tough times when it feels like Ive been burning out/ Trying to build up the muscle so the hustle doesnt pull me down, they sing, a limber bass line drawing each new syllable forward. The album was recorded largely live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson, a songwriter who has also co-written and produced songs for Suki Waterhouse and Shaboozey, as well as engineered tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Mitski. This song was about what we feel every day in this band, Greene says. Being exhausted but finding beauty together.Trousdales debut album, 2023s Out of My Mind, earned raves from the likes of the Boston Globe, Consequence, and Atwood Magazine for its powerful songwriting, immaculate harmonies, and ability to bridge gaps between country and indie pop. On Growing Pains, the three songwriters evolved their style, writing rough ideas on their own, then refining and finishing them in the room together. Were all adding to each others ideas, drawing from personal experiences and then expanding them into something more people can connect with, DAndrea explains. To that end, second single Secondhand Smoke lives deeply in the story of an abusive relationship, but elevates into something far more haunting. Theres an icy chill to the acoustic guitar, the pain ringing softly into the night as the trio take on the perspective of a woman struggling to find hope.While working with co-writers like Mags Duval and Adam expanded the bands purview, the trio credit John Mark Nelson as a particularly powerful guide. Hes always thinking about the big picture and staying out of the weeds, Jones laughs. We used to live in the weeds. But John Mark helped us focus on the album as a whole. That lesson shows both in the totality of Growing Pains and in the summery charm of a track like Over and Over. Nelson shared a rough sketch of the track, and Trousdale eagerly carved out their own version: a tale of running into an ex and trying to decipher how you feel about everyone moving on. DAndrea points to the way the track leaps between tight-knit harmonies and lead vocal flourishes as emblematic of the new heights Trousdale has reached. Every time we record and were in the vocal booth, were all getting better and figuring out what we need, she says.

WORM Rise now, children of the night! After four years, the shadowborn masters of Necromantic Black Doom Metal, WORM, have awoken from their slumber to unveil a brand new full-length album, “Necropalace”. This new offering is surely their most grandiose to date, dripping with a pompous elitism reserved only for the immortal, yet emotive and revealing in a way never seen before from this horde. Prepare yourself for a full force attack of zealous guitar agility and ancient heretic spellcraft! The gates are now open… Credits: Phantom Slaughter – Vocals, Keyboards Wroth Septentrion – Guitars, Keyboards, Timpani, Engineering Necreon – Bass CK – Drums Artwork by Andreas Marschall Autumn Sky Passage by Jeff Scott Castle Band Website Spotify Instagram DUSK Cult Classic Death/Doom Metal Band WISCONSIN, USA EST.1993 Autumn Sky Passage by Jeff Scott Castle Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram Twitter FER DE LANCE Fer de Lance is a Metal Band based in Chicago.

Facebook Instagram THE BLACK MORIAH Thrashed, Burnt & Branded Seditious, malicious, fiends, the horde of highwaymen ride on! The Black Moriah is influenced by hymns buried deep beneath dried earth, T.B.M. drinks the spirits of past greats Bathory, Kreator, Motorhead, Slayer, Venom, and other Kings as they frequent dens of iniquity, homes of misfortune and girls of ill-repute. T.B.M. was founded by The Mad Arab (Bleed the Son) and Zawicizuz (Absu, Bleed the Son, Infernal Oak, Rape Pillage and Burn) In the Fall of 2011, The Black Moriah entered the studio to record their first effort “Casket Prospects”. Upon completion of the album, these outlaws on the outskirts spread their gallows medicine from Mexico to Canada. With The Black Moriah’s second full-length release, they gear up for a journey of carnage across barren landscapes. “Road Agents of the Blast Furnace” is a never-yielding, all-consuming raid, hell-bent on tormenting every town in its path. For the release of their sophomore effort, T.B.M. has made an alliance with Folter Records. With this mighty underground force, the audio plague known as The Black Moriah will relentlessly spread Vulture Culture throughout the land. Look to the horizon for the demented highwaymen this year. They come to pillage your village and soil your doves. Bring your gold and pay tribute or face the wrath of this desert funeral party. Autumn Sky Passage by Jeff Scott Castle Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram Twitter BURIAL OATH Rising from the depths of Cleveland, Ohio, Burial Oath began as a burgeoning 3-piece, consisting of JV, D and Sean Deth (Osi & the Jupiter) whose first album, Beyond the Vale of Shadowlands, was released worldwide in 2017 on Vendetta Records followed by a regional tour. No Clean Singing called Burial Oath’s debut album a “sulfurous and savage [with a] ferocity more than matched by the appeal of its dark melodies and the dynamism of its rhythms and energies,” and Cvit Nation cites the album as “one of the most compelling and thought-provoking black metal albums of the year.” The band returned in 2018 with their 2nd full length, Subjugation of the Bastard Son which was heralded by even the most critical in the press w/ Angry Metal Guy sharing, “This is black metal at its most unencumbered, effortless and simple…Subjugation of the Bastard Son contains no bad songs”. 5 years later, Burial Oath are back with a refreshed line-up, adding MOR GRISH and R to the fold, and are ready to share their new album, The Cycles of Suffering, this time, with the help of Redefining Darkness Records! Decibel Magazine premiered the music video for Pagan Fires and shared, “Burial Oath are going to bring us catchy, blackened, groovy metal and we can’t wait to hear more.” The band will be out supporting the record on their Territorial Damnation Tour in October and November with another US tour planned for the Spring of 2025.

21+// More About Kat, Andre, and the ‘Broadview 6’: In October 2025, Kat Abughazaleh, her field director and friend Andre Martin, and four others were federally indicted for their advocacy and protest against ICE. Prosecutors claimed their participation in a peaceful protest outside the Broadview ICE facility amounted to a “spontaneous conspiracy.” In May 2026, just one week before trial, prosecutors dismissed the remaining charges with prejudice. After nine months of stress, public scrutiny, and legal expenses, we’re ready to celebrate with the community that got us through it. So What Is KAPOW? Most political campaigns show up asking for your vote, your money, and your trust. Then they disappear. KAPOW is built on a different idea. Founded by Kat and Andre, we’re creating community infrastructure that lasts beyond election cycles through mutual aid, civic engagement, educational programming, and public events. This concert celebrates a hard-fought victory and helps support the next chapter of that work.
