Midwinter – Haunt Me Forever Tour

Midwinter carves beauty from chaos with their emotionally charged brand of progressive metalcore. Blending punishing thall-infused riffs, lush ambient layers, and introspective lyrics, the Cleveland, Ohio based five-piece explores themes of loss, identity, and healing. Their sound design is immersive and intentional—layered with glitchy textures, dissonant melodies, and experimental production techniques that push genre boundaries and elevate every emotional peak and breakdown.
​
The lineup consists of vocalist Billy Toth, guitarist/sound designer Zac D'Urso, drummer Nate Rosenhaus, bassist Max Underwood and vocalist/guitarist Kody Archer.

We're What Lies Below from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and we are a Progressive Metalcore band. We formed in 2020 and have since released two EP's and are in the midst of releasing our debut full length.

Emerging with an unrelenting sonic force, COLDSTATE is redefining heavy music with a sound that’s as crushing as it is emotionally charged. Hailing from Indianapolis, the quintet—Clayton White (vocals), Noah Porter (lead guitar), Fernando Diaz (rhythm guitar), and Scottie Newerth (bass)—has built momentum through a string of hard-hitting releases, including The Love That’s Left In Me (2024), the sibling EPs The Heinous and The Lovely (2025), and the standalone single “Half Empty” (2025).

Their latest release, “Anyone But Me,” distills everything the band has crafted so far while pushing their sound into bold new territory. Recorded and produced by longtime collaborator Jonathan Dolese (Chelsea Grin, Zero 9:36, Cane Hill, Sakoya), the track layers COLDSTATE’s signature heaviness with industrial electronic textures, delivering a defiant anthem of self-belief and a battle cry for anyone fighting to protect their identity against the pressures that seek to tear it down.

Unapologetic and unbreakable, COLDSTATE stands on a simple conviction: fruition finds the ones who never quit. Growing more relentless with every release, they will always tear down the ceiling that's been placed above them.

Pale Kaiori are a four piece progressive post-hardcore band from St. Louis, Missouri. What started as a bedroom project quickly transformed into a full band after the release of their first EP "Notions From the Void" back in 2021. Since then they have released two singles and a second EP, which came out this year called " Asleep In Reality; Awake In Fiction". During their time as a band, they have opened up for bands such as: Hail the Sun, Eidola, Nerv, and Royal Coda. Earlier this year they toured with local acts: while(true) and Cohen around the central midwest. After the release of their second EP they have been working diligently on more music and continuing their journey by playing shows in the St. Louis area. Pale Kiaori brings a melodic post-hardcore sound with a modern progressive metal twist. With big catchy choruses surrounded by technical guitar-centric verses, Pale Kaiori prides themselves on taking the listener on an eclectic quest through their multicolored soundscape.
