Without Waves

Chicago scene stalwarts set a new bar for the city’s deathgrind scene. Watch a video for their new single “Perpetual War.”

With the pandemic making normal songwriting difficult, to say the least, a collection of Chicago musicians created a new project based off the “exquisite corpse” method, taking turns adding their own spin to an ever-changing creation (plus, drums from Failure’s Kellii Scott). Check out the first single and read an interview with project initiator Erik Oldman (Sons of Ra).

We were there Friday and Saturday nights for the absolute best showcase of Chicago metal talent yet, featuring 11 bands including Without Waves, REZN, Varaha, and more.

We prep all the details for this weekend’s inaugural Forever Deaf Fest, a celebration of Chicago heavy metal.

Invisible Oranges is excited to announce a partnership with Forever Deaf Fest in Chicago on December 7th and 8th — the best of Chicago’s heavy metal talent will be on display.
