Intronaut
Sacha Dunable - guitar, vocals, Joe Lester - bass, Dave Timnick - guitar, vocals, percussion, Danny Walker - drums
-from Los Angeles, CA

-"Long-time progressive metal pioneers Intronaut released their fifth LP The Direction of Last Things in late 2015, which launched them out of their comfortable underground status to the forefront of the progressive metal scene. This latest masterpiece by the Los Angeles-based foursome represents a refinement of their signature style rather than a departure. Carefully crafted irregular guitar rhythms, both distorted and clean, combine with a powerful and seemingly spontaneous drum and bass rhythm section. On guitar and vocals both, Sacha Dunable and Dave Timnick weave uncannily catchy harmonic guitar lines and alternately ethereal or growling vocals over unconventional meter, exaggerated by Joe Lester's rumbling and meandering bass lines, and tied together by the indomitable, engaging power of Danny Walker's drumming. Like past tourmates such as Between the Buried and Me, Animals as Leaders, and Native Construct, Intronaut continues to attract crowds of enraptured fans, gathered together in their common appreciation for highly technical and evocative metal music."



Scale The Summit
Chris Letchford - Guitar | Travis LeVrier - Guitar | Mark Michell - Bass | J.C. Bryant - Drums
-from Houston, Texas

-At this point in their career, it's almost easier to list the prog acts SCALE THE SUMMIT haven't toured with than the ones they have. From legends like Dream Theater and Yes, to cult heroes such as Cynic and Devin Townsend, to modern trailblazers such as Periphery and BTBAM, to heavy experimentalists like Intronaut and Mastodon, the band has shared stages with a who's who of the genre's past, present and future.

This mix of classic and contemporary, timeless and topical is also reflected in the instrumentalists' evocative sound, which is just as vital in today's post-post- / anything-goes world of shuffled playlists as it would have been on the freeform rock radio playlists of the 1970s.




North
Evan Leek - Bass and vocals, Zack Hansen - Drums, Matthew Mutterperl - Guitar
-from Tucson, AZ

-NORTH is the moniker of the Arizona-based atmospheric sludge metal quintet.
Formed by drummer Zachary Hansen, bassist Evan Leek, and guitarist Ty Engle as an instrumental trio in 2005, NORTH added guitarist Matthew Mutterperl and self released their EP "Siberia" in the Summer of 2006, followed by extensive touring. In 2007 the group released their follow up EP "Ruins," noted for exploring a darker sound previously hinted at on "Siberia". After adding keyboardist Peter Ridgeway and vocalist Kyle Hardy, the critically acclaimed "What You Were" was released in July 2008 by Toledo, Ohio-based Cavity Records, followed by two years of various tours throughout the U.S. Not shortly thereafter, Ty Engle left the band, and writing for the next full length began in January 2010. Pete left amicably in 2011, and guitarist Kyle Szostek was welcomed later that year. Their fourth album, The Great Silence, was themed around the question of extraterrestrial life and saw an August 2012 release with six weeks of tour support covering much of the US. 2013 saw the departure of vocalist Kyle Hardy as well as guitarist Kyle Szostek, leaving the band as a three-piece with Evan Leek assuming both vocals and bass. Their 4-song EP Metanoia is the first form of output from the newly-minted trio and features a focused, stripped-down attack, amplified with soaring vocals and loud, jarring riffs. The band self-released Metanoia on March 11, 2014, returning to a more active tour schedule than they have in years previous.
