Rumored sightings of an elasmobranch considered above average size for North Western waters are coming out of Seattle once again. Don’t sweat it, SQUALUS is on its tail.

NORTH WEST TERROR FEST 2020 better get the apricot brandy and Narragansett lager ready cause SQUALUS is going to chase the shark straight down to the depths of Barboza!!

 Very excited to be hitting the road again, even for just a small trip. We'll be chasing the shark into the woods of the North West, hitting our hometown of Sacramento along the way. 

So stoked to premiere our official lyric video for "Violent Climax", one of the strangest and darkest songs we have yet to mine from the rich content found in Peter Benchley's magnificent novel.

Thanks to YOD Multimedia - Metal Video Maker for crushing this project for us!

I explored and bought more new music in 2018 than many years prior. So many established bands released the best work of their careers, while so many new bands popped up on my radar and haven't left my stereo since. Thought I'd share with all of you my top 12 records and about 8 more that I also thoroughly loved.

1. GRAYCEON - IV : there isn’t a metal band on Earth that sounds like Grayceon, and Grayceon has never sounded better than they do on IV. Which is saying a lot since each release is consistently incredible. Sure I’m biased, this is my wife’s band.

Listen to a full stream over at Decibel Magazine HERE and order your copy from Translation Loss! And remember this holiday season...

"Three thousand bucks buys a lot of roast!"

Help us raise money for our dear friends at SHRINE CUSTOM SPEAKER CABINETS rebuild their business which was completely lost in the fires. Any money we can raise, even if just enough to buy them one new saw or other piece of vital equipment, would be a tremendous help.

Their band SHADOW LIMB, who all grew up in Paradise will be joining us as well, and we'll be supporting the release of the new SQUALUS/SHADOW LIMB split LP entitled "Mass and Power". Our dear friends and fellow Shrine users, AEQUOREA will be coming up from Nevada City to bring the heavy!

Come party at Winters Tavern in Pacifica with us, gaze upon the wall of SHRINE CABS swallowing the stage, and bring some dough to donate to the cause.
