Details

Turn the volume up and step into the shadows: Herakleion, Morta, and Death Prison are converging on Red River for a thunderous night of extreme metal on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 9:30 pm.

This stacked lineup dives deep into the darker corners of heavy music. Expect roaring vocals, blast-beat drumming, and riffs that swing between crushingly heavy and eerily atmospheric. Each band brings its own flavor of chaos, from grim blackened tones to relentless death metal grooves, all designed to rattle your bones and clear your head the loud way.

  • Herakleion delivers epic, mythology-tinged heaviness, weaving stories of gods, monsters, and doom into massive, layered guitar work.

  • Morta leans hard into dark, punishing rhythms and cavernous growls, perfect for fans of bleak, relentless metal.

  • Death Prison lives up to the name with fast, ferocious songs built for headbanging, hair-whipping, and full-body catharsis.

This is a stand-up-in-front-of-the-PA-and-feel-your-heart-rattle kind of show—no frills, all fury. Red River’s intimate, gritty vibe means you’re never far from the stage, so be ready to get up close to the amps and into the pit.

  • Perfect for fans of underground metal, dark aesthetics, and high-energy live sets.

  • Great excuse to rally your fellow metalheads for a late-night escape into a wall of sound.

  • Bring earplugs, closed-toe shoes, and your best battle jacket—it’s going to get loud and sweaty.

If your ideal Thursday night involves blast beats, black T-shirts, and screaming along with strangers, Herakleion, Morta, and Death Prison will deliver the kind of heavy catharsis you’ll still be talking about long after the last feedback fades.
