Foehammer
A specter looms over the ever expanding suburbs of Washington, DC. A fetid, lumbering, lurching beast throws its shadow across the unending sprawl. That specter is Foehammer. Formed in 2013 as a three piece, Foehammer has in recent years coalesced as a duo, and with that metamorphosis has sloughed its way into new musical territory. Whereas the self-titled e.p. and Second Sight were comprised of inexorably creeping funeral doom epics, Monumentum brings in new sounds and tempos. Fans of Corrupted’s dirge will undoubtedly still love Monumentum, but fans of Cianide’s deathly doom, the sludgy filth of early Thou, and the transcendental leanings of mid-90’s Neurosis will also find much to enjoy.
Foehammer has toured the East Coast, South, and Midwest, and shared the stage with the likes of Bell Witch, Bongzilla, Fister, Horrendous, HUSH., Ilsa, Mortiferum, Outer Heaven, Primitive Man, Rezn, Sea of Bones, Thou, Unearthly Trance, Usnea, Weedeater, Yatra, and more.

Hashtronaut
Four-piece stoner doom innovators Hashtronaut launched into orbit from their
Denver-based Mission Control in the summer of 2020, fueled by inspiration from a hazy string of jam sessions during the darkest days of the pandemic. Seizing the opportunity to play live the minute they could, it only took a few gigs before they’d solidified their reputation as trailblazers in the scene, and the rest was history.
With a distinct sonic identity that channels classics from Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy to mainstays of the modern canon like Windhand and High On Fire — as well as their own collective love of the sweetest leaf of all, vintage gear, and walls of speaker cabinets — Hashtronaut’s galactic tones have spread to the farthest corners of the universe, earning them a diverse and growing fanbase both on and off this planet in short time.
Keeping momentum at an all time high after releasing an EP and sharing the stage with legends like Pallbearer, High On Fire, and Bongzilla, Hashtronaut are preparing for their biggest year yet. With that said, their first LP, “No Return”, was released on 3/22/24 to high acclaim, hitting #3 on Doom Charts. As well, a slew of tour and festival dates are planned for the imminent future. There’s never been a better time to experience Hashtronaut’s colossal riffs and driving rhythms in the flesh, and get immersed into an intoxicating and pummeling journey through time and space.

Stoner metal with a groove. Occasional yells/screams top the music but typically it’s just tight jams between just right distorted guitars with insanely good tone, bass with lots of attack and drums that charge into interesting and thoughtful fills. Sabbath covers are among the fun that puts this group into a band you’ll make sure to see again and again.
