It’s nearly a tradition for Memorial Day to become some sort of festival around RVA following the march of heavy giants across the east coast following Maryland Death Fest. This year we have Portland Oregon old-school dm rulers PETRIFICATION, on Sentient Ruin, making their Richmond debut! They’ll be joined by fellow road warriors, NC blackened metallic hc crushers FUNERAL CHIC, now on Prosthetic Records! If that weren’t enough we’ve got two RVA “supergroups” opening in the form of fellow OSDM rippers DEATHCROWN (ex-Occultist/Arsis/Disinterment) and the debut live show of grindcore pulverizors SHARK EYES (ex-Ken Mode/Revocation/Khann)!!
