KALOPSYA // melodic metal
SMALL-TOWN LADS…
BIG METAL CHADS!
Kalopsya is a melodic-metal band from St. Peter, MN. With music consisting of catchy hooks, melodic lead-guitar runs, and harmonized guitar solos, Kalopsya has quickly gained a following and has also become well-respected within the metal scene for being…well…just genuinely nice dudes! In late 2019 (just before the Great Plague swept the world), a great hunger was stirring within the bowels of St. Peter, MN. In order to satiate this carnivorous desire, members of HeirAfire, Faulter, and Alation congregated within a dank basement. From within this basement, a pact was made to deliver the most melodious metal that Southern Minnesota has ever seen. The music of Kalopsya has been sweeping the greater Minnesota area for the past year…and they plan to sweep even LARGER swathes of land in the future! Upon first gathering, Petey Peterson (rhythm guitar), Jared Kueker (bass guitar), Sawyer Lund (lead guitar), and Jordan Gay (original drummer) set out to re-ignite the local metal scene with their blend of melodic leads mixed with Death Metal / Metalcore inspired rhythms. Although it took a number of years to finally find a suitable vocalist for the project, they welcomed Sam Blackman (vocalist) to the fold just in time to start recording their debut EP. Unfortunately, shortly after finishing the recording, original drummer, Jordan, parted ways with the band. It was at this time that the hunt for a new drummer began. After a solid year of searching, they recruited local music student Bennett Weissner (current drummer) and were able to lock-down the lineup that everyone is familiar with today.
THE SUNFLOWER BURIAL // alt punk metal
We’re Nate, Jack, and Simon, The Sunflower Burial. We formed in Fargo, ND, but grew up in South Dakota where Jack and I went to high school together. We have a lot of influences. Punk, alternative metal, indie rock, and a bit of blues and shoegaze. We mainly do originals with a cover mixed in here and there. We’re all about mental health awareness.
VVAKEFIELD // melodic hardcore
VVakefield is a melodic hardcore band from MN. Uptempo metal-core with melodic groove blends into a volatile pressurized unit capable of forcing humans to losing their absolute marbles.
