Drouth with Aerial Ruin and Lividus

Crushing black metal and ambient doom converge: Drouth, Aerial Ruin, and Lividus descend upon The Six. Prepare for obliteration.

About this Event

is a Portland black metal outfit pushing the genre’s boundaries with dense compositions, searing intensity, and unexpected beauty. Drawing from the traditions of atmospheric and melodic black metal while leaning into avant-garde structures, their sound evokes both grandeur and collapse—like a cathedral crumbling in slow motion. Drouth’s live sets are cathartic and unrelenting, offering a raw, immersive experience that speaks to fans of bands like Weakling, Ash Borer, or early Wolves in the Throne Room.

is the solo project of Erik Moggridge, weaving acoustic doom-folk that’s as ghostly as it is devastating. Known for his collaborations with Bell Witch and his hypnotic solo performances, Moggridge strips everything down to voice and nylon-string guitar, creating a stark, meditative atmosphere. His music carries the weight of loss and the calm of surrender—spiritual, shadowed, and deeply human. If Nick Drake had been raised in a crypt, he might sound something like this.

is a metal band hard to define. Formed in 2017 by vocalist Uta Plotkin (ex-Witch Mountain) and bassist Connie Wang (ex-At the Seams), the band combines harsh and beautiful vocals with relentless speed, melodic riffs, and unexpected rhythmic turns. Their sound covers a landscape of brutal hardship and wicked triumph. With Rob Shaffer (Dark Castle, Simple Forms) and Christy Cather (ex-Ludicra, Ails) on guitar, and Michael Thompson (ex-Silver Talon, ex-Dearth) on drums, Lividus is a technical, unstoppable force—and a singular presence in Portland’s heavy music scene.
