Cafe Rock – Step into Lebanon’s home of hard-hitting sound and underground energy. With a state-of-the-art sound system, killer food, and a warm, music-hungry community, Cafe Rock offers a gritty yet welcoming backdrop for Oregon’s fiercest rock and metal acts. Whether you’re front row or hanging back with a burger and brew, every show feels up close and personal.
Pitch Black Mass – Salem’s own metal juggernaut, Pitch Black Mass unleashes a genre-blurring barrage of heavy rock that drags you into the shadows and leaves your spine buzzing. With members from bands like Shanoa and Lidless Eye, their thunderous lineup blends thrash, nu-metal, death, and even jazz into a molten wall of sound. Veterans of stages from Portland to Bend, they’re bringing their electrifying, all-consuming presence to Lebanon — and you do not want to miss it.
Villains In Vain – Eugene’s metalcore rising stars, Villains In Vain combine hardcore fury with haunting melody, drawing inspiration from bands like Architects and Trivium. Born during the isolation of 2020, they’ve clawed their way to the stage with a sound that’s as cathartic as it is crushing. Their tracks like “Shadow In the Light” and “Dig Your Grave” are anthems for the disillusioned, and their live sets are pure adrenaline.
Alamance – Back again with their signature fusion of electronic atmosphere and hard rock muscle, Alamance is Oregon’s answer to progressive metalcore. Originally from NJ, this band has grown from Warped Tour roots into something far more cinematic and evolved. With soaring melodies, thunderous breakdowns, and storytelling that borders on fantasy, Alamance’s set is like a video game boss fight you can feel in your chest. Don’t miss their latest single “The Silence Between”.
Ed To Shred – The time-traveling alien shredlord from Ionia Prime returns to earth to melt the fretboard!
There is probably nobody more directly responsible for me playing guitar than Ozzy. When I was 12 years old I heard Crazy Train at a skating rank in Southern California. Changed the direction of my life.
Rest in peace, Ozzy.
