Whether you are a tried and true local or in from out of town, we guarantee that you will not be disappointed.Witherer - 8:25pmHailing from the cavernous depths below Canada, Witherer brings a blend of death/doom that draws from both funeral doom and black metal. A ritualistic experience for the uninitiated. We released their debut double-LP “Shadow Without a Horizon” in June 2025.https://hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shadow-without-a-horizonBurnt Knives - 9:15pmYou may recognize them from our first Ontario Metal comp released in 2024. Consider this the official announcement that we will be releasing their sophomore LP some time in 2027. Burnt Knives blend heavy hardcore with old school death metal and deep seated nihilism.https://hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-road-of-excess-leads-to-the-palace-of-wisdom-compilationNepenthe - 10:00pmWe released Nepenthe’s sophomore EP, “The Fading Promise of Tomorrow” at the end of 2024 and the LP quickly sold out. Blending atmospheric black metal, doom, post-metal, and goth rock in a unique way that is equal parts Falls of Rauros and Type O Negative.https://hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-fading-promise-of-tomorrow-elegies-of-loss-and-doomA Flock Named Murder - 11:00pmWe released AFNM’s sophomore double-LP “Incendiary Sanctum” in May 2025. An expansive and immersive record merging black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal.https://hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/incendiary-sanctumThe music is the focus of the night but we will also be out with our full distro: records, CDs, tapes, t-shirts and more. Including our collaboration with European labels like Hypnotic Dirge, These Hands Melt, and more! We’ll definitely have some special sales and bundles in store.Special thanks to Bonecrusher and Hard Luck Bar for helping us make this happen.Support local metal ⚔️🤘🖤
