Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage is one of the most successful bands in modern metalcore with 18 years of music under their belts. We welcome them to the Minneapolis stage as headliners and celebrate their accomplishments with some of their biggest songs. They played “The End of Heartache,” “My Curse,” their version of “Holy Diver,” “Rose of Sharyn,” “My Last Serenade” and more. Their 2019 album Atonement is a true metal album that incorporates hardcore elements. Formed in 1999 in Westfield, Massachusetts, Killswitch Engage has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance including 2020 for “Unleashed.” They have won many Boston Music Awards and have had Gold certified albums. The contrast of Leach’s melodic and clean vocals with the heavy riffs of guitarists Dutkiewicz and Stroetzel is always present in their music and a great attribute to their sound.

Machine Head

Oakland’s own Machine Head bring the groove metal good fight to this roster of head banging talent. We will be playing songs from their long and storied career including “Davidian,” “Halo,” “Locust,” “Aesthetics of Hate,” and “Imperium.” The band released their latest full length album “Of Kingdom and Crown” in 2022 continuing on the path of heavy riffing and socially conscious lyrics that have established the band as one of the pivotal bands of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal having been nominated for a 2008 Grammy award for “Aesthetics of Hate.” Classics such as their 1994 groove metal opus “Burn My Eyes” have seen numerous chart entries on Billboard’s 200.

Iron Reagan

Richmond’s Iron Reagan brought their crossover thrash hardcore punk energy to this very heavy lineup. Fast songs such as “Miserable Failure”, “Take the Fall”, “Eat Shit and Live”, “Cycle of Violence” and more make up the majority of their 2017 Relapse Records release “Crossover Ministry”. A supergroup of musicians from Municipal Waste and Darkest Hour, Iron Reagan brings the rebirth of old school thrash punk in short, fast bursts aimed at rebuking socially conscious themes of politics, violence, and more. The name Iron Reagan is a play on the name of Iron Maiden and former President Ronald Reagan. Despite not having a Grammy nomination or any other notable awards Iron Reagan is heavily respected in the underground metal community.

Havok

Thrash metal quintet from Denver, Colorado. More thrash metal! Some of our favorite songs include Time Is Up, Post-Truth Era, Give Me Liberty... Or Give Me Death and Intention to Deceive. Havok released their album V in 2020, which carries on the tradition of socially charged lyrics aimed at government and media malfeasance. Signed to Century Media Records, they were nominated for thrash metal band of the year in Germany and Belgium, and are one of the leading bands of the thrash revival movement. The band is composed of vocalist David Sanchez and guitarists Pete Webber, drummer Brandon Bruce and bassist Nick Schendzielos.
