All Hell is a blackened metal trio from Asheville, North Carolina, known for their relentless fusion of first wave black metal, deathrock, punk, and horror-driven storytelling. Since forming in 2013, the band has carved out a distinct identity rooted in occult themes, razor-sharp riffs, and a fierce DIY ethos. Their sound is aggressive, stripped-down, and deeply atmospheric — a raw, unfiltered descent into myth, violence, and the supernatural.

With five full-length albums and an EP to their name, including 2025’s apocalyptic concept record Sunsetter, ALL HELL has evolved from a local cult favorite into a powerful underground force. Their live presence has taken them across the U.S., sharing stages with acts like RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, PROFANATICA, and TURN COLD, and performing at festivals such as Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, Dark Lord Day, and RPM Fest.

The current lineup, Jacob Curwen (guitar and vocals), Erik Ballantyne (bass), and Elanti (drums), continues to push the band’s sound forward while staying true to its core. With each release, ALL HELL digs deeper into a unique mythos that spans history, horror, and apocalypse, embracing the dark, the ugly, and the eternal night.

Riastrad was established in 2010 in Portland, Oregon, when guitarist Damion Lazzara collaborated with drummer Peter Bordokoff to record what would become the "Driving Into the Sun" EP. Following the recording, Peter was unable to continue with the project, but a mutual friend introduced Damion to drummer Lance Paden. Lance subsequently brought guitarist Justin Romito and bassist/vocalist Ryan Thomas into the fold, completing the lineup for the EP. This configuration performed together from 2011 to 2013; however, internal conflicts ultimately led to the band's dissolution.

Fast forward to now and Paige Parker had stepped into the reformed band on vocals and are delivering doom with power and might as they are quickly becoming one of Portland’s must see bands!
