“Dead Animal Assemble Plant” Portland Oregon Based industrial metal collective, Dead Animal Assembly Plant combines a taste for theatrics with a love of macabre horror and aggressive industrial metal to create their uniquely raw sound. These Band was the first invite this year by Boots as they played with NWS at last year’s Rivera Fest in Myrtle Creek Oregon and Boots fell in love with their sound and stage presence. Expect a killer show with bells and whistles to entertain and WOW the WOW Hall audience.
“New World Sinner” is the first to join this event as it is Metal Boots's band he fronts. New World Sinner has been in the Willamette Valley Metal Scene since Feb of 2008. N.W.S. has always made it their way to help their fellow bands in the scene as well as the community around them being part of multiple food drives, benefits and fund raisers over the years. Boots's moto is "do good things and have fun!". The Crowd's Entertainment is always in mind when they perform, expect occasional costumes, comedy, guest musicians, and brutal music of course!!
“GraveWitch” Hailing from Bend, Oregon since 2013. Chris Fleming and Andrew ingraham first raised the banners of Gravewitch in the heart of Oregon's shadowed high desert; the world of blackened thrash metal wasn’t exactly waiting for them—but it should’ve been. Their unholy alliance would go on to carve a jagged path through a decade of turmoil, triumph, and relentless performance, delivering a brutal fusion of thrash, black, death, and melodic metal that strikes with the fury of an avalanche and the cold precision of a blade through bone.
From the very beginning, Gravewitch—born as a two-piece with Fleming on guitar/vocals and Ingraham on drums—laid the foundation for something far darker than their humble beginnings suggested. Their sound, a storm of buzzing riffs, blast beats, and unyielding growls, evolved with each release and performance, folding in elements from legends like Kreator, Testament, Amon Amarth, Emperor, and Vader. The chemistry between the founding duo is undeniable.
“Crucible Of Absolution” is a Slamming deathcore/ Brutal death metal band based in Eugene, Oregon.
Comprised of Clinton Hardy, Jake Krumbein, Keegan Alvarado, Marcus Treat, Trevor Choklad, and Moose Knuckle, this band is here to revive the OG MySpace deathcore sound
with brutal slamming elements. The bands debut single and music video for “Kingdom Of Bone” premiered on Beheading The Traitor and is streaming now.
FFO: Chelsea Grin, Job for a cowboy, Angelmaker, Elysia, As blood runs black, PeelingFlesh.
“Oddities” are a 5 piece deathcore band from Roseburg. Formed in 2021, composed of members who have been part of the Southern Oregon music scene for 15+ years, Oddities blends the energy of hardcore, with the intensity of deathcore. Taking over venues, one crushing breakdown at a time, their set is something to never forget.
“Within Caskets” is exploding onto the Willamette Valley's metal scene! Since their formation in December 2023, they've been igniting a loyal and growing following with their crushing deathcore and electrifying stage presence. Fresh off their first tour, their undeniable energy has propelled them from crushing opening slots to earning headlining slots at two upcoming festivals. Deeply committed to their community, Within Caskets is honored to bring their energetic live show to Metal 4 Meals, supporting the cause for Food for Lane County, the WOW Hall, NW Metal Artists, and Small local Businesses. Get ready to witness their raw musical power that's captivating fans and cementing their place in the region's metal scene!
