Krallice is an American black metal band formed by New York City musicians Colin Marston, Mick Barr, Nick McMaster and Lev Weinstein. They play an experimental, highly technical style of black metal. Active since 2007, the band has released fifteen studio albums and three EPs, most recently the LP Inorganic Rites on July 5, 2024. They have been described as “one of the most interesting, engaging black metal bands to emerge in recent years” (Pitchfork) and “one of the most important bands in modern black metal”. (Metal Injection).

Over the past decade, New York-based composer and producer Kelly Moran has challenged the piano’s traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary, experimental approach. An accomplished and highly sought-after composer, Moran has collaborated with artists the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never as part of his touring ensemble for 2018 album Age Of, as well as singer and composer FKA Twigs’ live ensemble. Moran has also composed for classical musician Margaret Leng Tan and worked with other visionary contemporaries like Kelsey Lu, Yves Tumor, The Avalanches, Helado Negro, Bibio, and more. As a solo artist, Moran’s critically acclaimed albums, Bloodroot and Ultraviolet, have explored a variety of extended piano techniques like John Cage-inspired prepared piano and exercises in improvisation. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres. Moran’s most recent album, Moves in the Field, was praised by the New York Times for being “a softhearted but steel-skinned set of 10 piano pieces that are as rapturous as a waterfall or as delicate as vapor. Her first album in six years, it is the redemptive conclusion in an extended span of personal tragedy and professional doubt, all ingrained in its sweeping songs.”

Progressive rock, technical metal, thrash, indie rock, avant jazz, and ambient mesmerism are intricately and inseparably combined in the riff-heavy, mathy, high-energy, instrumental attack of Queens, N.Y. – based Dysrhythmia. Guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (Gorguts, Vaura, Veldune, ex-Sabbath Assembly) and drummer Jeff Eber (Zevious) have been together since 1998; bassist/producer/engineer Colin Marston (Behold…The Arctopus, Krallice, Gorguts) has been aboard since 2004 after the departure of original bassist Clayton Ingerson. Albums such as ‘Psychic Maps’, ‘The Veil of Control’, and their newest release ‘Coffin of Conviction’ have established them as an influential progressive instrumental institution.
