We are four friends with a love for Metal looking to do something new! Chris Moore (Bass) and Tim Swisher (Vocals/Guitar) are from a local metal band "Abolish". Mike Straiton Lead Guitarist and Cliff Fritts Drums played for another local metal band named "Pummel". Both bands thrived in the mid to late 90's and were well known in the local underground metal scene. Playing in all the great local clubs and opening for such acts as Morbid Angel, Crowbar, Overkill, Fear Factory and even Iron Maiden at the Electric Factory. "Eyes of the Living" is a new project with a variety of influences that punches a hole in the fabric of sound! enjoy!!
Set Time: 9:20pm
Liminality is the stage of ambiguity and disorientation an individual inhibits while in the middle stage of a ritual. These individuals no longer hold their pre-ritual status, nor do they belong to the status which they will achieve after having completed the ritual. It is a state of standing within the threshold of what once was and what will be.
ANDHERA's beginnings are much the same as the liminal phase of a ritual practice. Separating themselves from prior musical endeavors, ANDHERA's members began creating something entirely new together. ANDHERA sets out to create a new experience for fans, using both audio and visual stimuli to portray their creative processes. Now the ritual is almost complete

Set Time: 11:00pm
Formed in early 2010, Assayer was forged with a wide variety of influences. With a sound rooted in the traditional American metal of Metallica and Pantera, Assayer blends in progressive and extreme elements seamlessly to create a sound that is both familiar, yet distinct. Spending almost two years in the studio perfecting their craft, they are now armed with their new release "Return to the Throne" and are ready to unleash their brand of progressive extreme metal upon the world.
Stealing Fame
Set Time: 11:50pm
Stealing Fame has taken the Philadelphia area by storm since the debut of their revamped line up in August 2013.

Having shared the stage with bands like Bobaflex, Alestorm, Blameshift, Screaming for Silence, Romantic Rebel, Swashbuckle, October Rage and Royal Bliss, Stealing Fame brings a stage show that packs a punch and doesn't let up.
