Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Horsehunter destroying onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Horsehunter's furious, multi-movement sludge separates them from a world of bands content to simply pummel, as they range from soft and sinister to unbound aggression half a dozen times in the course of a single song. The Australian band's 2015 album Caged in Flesh and self-titled 2019 follow-up present monumental, carefully-constructed epics that may as well have been created to carry fans of Sleep and Neurosis blissfully to Valhalla. Day of Doom Live presents the foursome delivering music The Obelisk simply calls, Inchbrutal as S**t,Inch in a live setting, burning down the metaphorical stage and branding those who hear it with the mark of true enlightenment.

The Kody Norris Show is one of the busiest, hardest working, and most entertaining bands in bluegrass. The group combines musical virtuosity with humor and showmanship in a throwback to the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry. Their debut Rebel All Suited Up weaves classic themes with youthful creativity and modern sensibility. While some bands honor their mentors by reproducing great music of the past, The Kody Norris Show inhabits traditional bluegrass and confidently carries it forward.
