Actus Reus:

Actus Reus is a Georgia-based metalcore band known for blending crushing heaviness with groove-driven riffs and high-energy live performances. After releasing their LP Mens Rea and the 2024 EP NUMERICA, the band entered a new era in 2025 with vocalist Donny Payne, pushing their sound in a darker and more aggressive direction. This lineup debuted with the singles “Rabid Dogs,” “Mother Earth,” and most recently “Tension.”

Known for chaotic, high-intensity shows, Actus Reus brings constant crowd interaction, relentless energy, and a level of onstage destruction that turns every set into an experience rather than just a performance. The band has taken that energy to stages across the country, including appearances at The Gathering of the Juggalos and tours with Fight From Within and Resistor. With a new single dropping May 30th and more music on the way, Actus Reus continues to push forward as one of the Southeast’s most ferocious modern metalcore acts.

Glass Edge:

Glass Edge is an Atlanta-based metalcore band that does not waste time on getting down to business. Anyone who enjoys bands like Boundaries or IPTW will be able to relate to their sound, which is based on powerful low-end, chug-heavy breakdowns, and discordant panic chords.

The only way to truly get the whole image is to see them perform live and hear the noise for yourself.
