Lie Heavy: Lie Heavy is a band bringing together notable N.C. rockers, Karl Agell, Graham Fry, Jeff JD Dennis & Cary Rowells. You may know them from some of their previous musical forays with Corrosion of Conformity, The Backsliders, Leadfoot, Confessor, and Deltoid.The Lie Heavy sound draws on the original hard 'n’ groovy jams of Black Sabbath, Mountain, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple and other hard rock and metal masters, mixed with some punk and hardcore influences, then fused with their own massive experience to craft heavy riffs, rhythms, melodies and songs.https://lieheavy.bandcamp.comSmoke: Smoke is a heavy psychedelic rock band from Lynchburg, Virginia. Dalton Huskin (vocals/guitar), Ben Gold (lead guitar), Alex Thurston (drums), and Stephen Tyree (bass) blend a heady mix of psychedelic rock, southern fuzz, and Sabbathian doom with “lyrical pearls of schizophrenic wisdom” (Frazer Jones, Desert Psychlist). The band’s debut album, Groupthink, reached number 65 on the Doom Charts Top 100 Albums of 2022. They followed it up in 2023 with a split LP with Doomsday Profit.https://thecultofsmoke.bandcamp.comIguanahead: Since clawing their way into the Nashville scene in 2022, Iguanahead has sunk its talons into the raw essence of rock music. Constantly shedding their skin to reveal new influences and grooves, while staying true to their "unpolished" sound, the band brings introspective and exploratory themes together with melodic riffs and bone-rattling energy.
