About The Bands

Fate DeStroyed, a Los Angeles based metal group formed and fronted by Franccesca De Struct in 2016, is breaking new ground with fierce new take on the metal status quo. With influences ranging from Deftones and Trivium, to Nine Inch Nails, Fate DeStroyed is a female fronted audio assault combining raw emotion, visceral guitars and driving synths to leverage the gap between the hard hitting 90’s industrial and modern heavy metal.

Formed in 2014, MATRIARCHS, began strictly as Ben Levi’s studio project. The project was inspired by the guitarist’s affinity for modern European Beat Down and ‘90s New York metallic hardcore. After teaming up with veteran guitarist Carlos Pagan and powerhouse vocalist K Enagonio mid-pandemic, MATRIARCHS found the fire it needed. In K, the band finds its truest voice. The band’s second album, Year of the Rat, was written and recorded during quarantine, and released via KnucklehedzINC/Upstate Records in the fall of last year.

CA based Through The Oculus is a relatively new band, but that hasn’t stopped them from making a huge impact in a short amount of time. Comprised of lead vocalist Sarah Gamblin, guitarist / vocalist Randy Blount, bassist Lauren Weatherford and drummer Eric Freeman, this four-piece powerhouse explores the spaces between melodic death metal, hard rock and classic heavy metal with a unique creative imprint that is very much their own.

Fused By Defiance, also known as FxD, is a five-piece band from Los Angeles, CA, formed in 2012. They incorporate sounds of rock, metal, hip hop, and funk, coupled with socially conscious lyrics, to create songs that will move both your body and your mind. Add in their naturally energetic performance and the live show becomes an event to remember, or as one fan put it, “Poetry in motion.” The FxD team is excited for the road ahead, but more than anything, they’re dedicated to put the necessary work into sharing their music with the world.

Akasha was formed in 2015, with the founding members, Jonny Daybreak (Drums) and Sara Lifeless (Vocals). Akasha’s musical style quickly fused together by each individuals style and passion. Mid 2015 Akasha started playing shows, including benefit shows for local LA animal shelters. Akasha quickly gained respect in the local LA metal scene for their live shows and constant support of other bands. In 2017 Akasha released their first self titled EP. In 2018 Akasha gained Blair Berens as a full member, filling the position of main guitar player.
