Amputecht is the product of a myriad of musical influences stemming from bands such as Periphery, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, and Tesseract. They aim to bridge the gap between progressive metal and post-hardcore, while attempting to push both genres into new territory.

Formed in early 2012, the band released their debut EP, Terminal two years later. It Djents reviewed and claimed: “they have a killer sense of cohesion when it comes to changing tempo and synchronizing the curves of their sound.” A year later, the site made Amputecht their weekly featured artist with the release of their single, “Somniphobia.”

Having played from Long Island, New York to Erie, Pennsylvania, Amputecht is spreading their emotionally charged, yet technical brand of extreme music across the Northeast and beyond. They have shared the stage with a number of genre headliners such as Polyphia, Monuments, Hands Like Houses, CHON, Tides of Man, and Covet. These Western New York veterans have hundreds of performances in their respective resumes. Amputecht has arrived—determined to make their mark in today’s thriving international scene of progressive music.

The Cartoon Band You Never Wanted. 

Mad Queen is a band of interdimensional hooligans spanning the mediums of sound, page, and spacetime. From synthesizers to jazz chords, these cookie-crafting elves grind tirelessly to bake up an intergalactic revolution against the tyrannical rule of genre-boxes and conventional commercialism.

Mad Queen specializes in synthesizing ingredients from any style of music into a Progressive Fusion Dance-Dish to shake the palette of even the most cynical critic. Following footsteps in the likes of The Gorillaz, Coheed and Cambria, and Linkin Park, Mad Queen takes heavy influence from Jazz, Disco, Metal, Synthwave, and Hip-Hop, and wraps-up all their tracks in a Progressive Rock tortilla drenched in Anthemic Pop elements to create a wall of aggressive repeating grooves and timelessly catchy melodies. They carefully weave a narrative into (most of) their songs illustrating the universe of The Hero Spectrum comics written by Mad Queen’s boisterous frontman, Nox Malzahn. They have been lovingly described as “The Elevator Music of Purgatory” and “Adderall Study Music” by random people on the street and certified line-cooks.

The Hero Spectrum comics follow the story of Chess, Domino, Gammon, and Solitaire, four super-powered bank-robbers, as they attempt to save their dying world, Haventia, from being swallowed by a black hole while simultaneously dodging the noose-tied puppet strings of The Twelve Tyrants and The Old Gods. A symbolically rich literary journey exploring the concepts of humanity, divinity, freewill, nihilism, and the colors of the spectrum between Hero and Villain. Also lots of guns and magic! Stay tuned as the epic tale begins to unfold in Winter of 2021. 

 

Conceived in the deserts of Oregon, and given life in its valleys, Mad Queen has been defending their western coastal home from the forces of silence since 2017. Their ranks are made up by the likes of Nox Malzahn (lead vocals), Tesla Veer (synth), Lazlo Armada (drums), Kaia Rose (bass), Prov Namesk (guitar), Genesis Sine (additional instruments), and Arcade Oghma (piano). They team-up daily with like-minded heroes across the globe by crafting custom aural weaponry for use by other independent artists in the struggle against generic production. Meanwhile, Mad Queen manically hacks away at their own massive Progressive Pop record for release later this year.

Mad Queen can be found under the name @madqueenmusic on most social media platforms (links above) and has a Patreon almost exclusively for buying ramen. Demo tracks and commercial beats are posted to their Soundcoud daily, and their EP, Birth Sun of a Mask-Maker, can now be streamed on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and Bandcamp.

Music has always been apart of my life, and it's always been the best coping skill for me. I love all types of genres and I love music that's not really considered "Mainstream". At the end of the day though I usually reposts song tracks & make music based off of my emotions(How I'm Feeling). So Just feel free to STEP INTO THE  JOURNEY & LIFE OF FinaleMoFantasy (/^_^)

"I have no plan B in backing down on my dreams."

Self taught from the age of 13 from watching the film "The Crow" motivated him. "I was a shy kid with health issues growing up with no sports so I turned to creative outlets instead like music and film. Learning from DVD's (early days of the internet) TV interviews & live shows from the past decades, I knew I wasn't going for the typical drinking, smashing hotel rooms rocker lifestyle that it is known for. I could focus more on the music, , the career, the fans, and the drive to expand and of course have that rock n roll feeling of standing up for yourself." 

"Palangi’s positivity extends beyond his music into the way he interacts with his fans. " -Guitar World Magazine

"When a freak accident made him loose his studio and almost everything else, this would cause some people to roll over and give up, but not Palangi, he channeled that energy into his career." - Powerplay Magazine

"Frank is an amazing young artist with a very clear and focused direction... Frank knows who he is! A killer singer and guitar player, Frank Palangi is an artist to watch out for!" — Brian Craddock (Guitarist from Daughtry)

Formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2012, Kaonashi made their first impact on the scene in October 2013 with the release of their EP Native. Drawing from both hardcore and progressive acts such as Coheed & Cambria, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and The Contortionist, Kaonashi has molded a technical, aggressive sound to call their own. With personal lyrics tackling the difficulties of depression and anxiety facing this generation, 2016 saw the release of their second EP Ex-Prayers in addition to a split with Sabella titled Never Home. Last fall, Kaonashi established themselves among their peers with the release of their groundbreaking third EP Why Did You Do It? – a rollercoaster ride across seven tracks ranging from downright brutal riffs to serene, melodic moments that has taken the scene by storm. Keeping on with a relentless touring schedule, the band has shared the stage with the likes of Between The Buried and Me, Code Orange, Knocked Loose and For The Fallen Dreams. Having built an intense and eager fan base for themselves through explosive live performances, Kaonashi now join the Equal Vision Records roster, another success proving their forward-looking take on metal will ensure their rise to new heights.
