Iress with Dreadnought and Faetooth

Faetooth, a three-piece "fairy doom" band from Los Angeles, blends doom, black metal, shoegaze, and sludge. Members Ari May, Jenna Garcia, and Rah Kanan explore personal and natural themes.

Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, Iress creates a cinematic blend of metal, shoegaze, and slowcore. Known for intense live shows, the band features Michelle Malley's emotive vocals.

Dreadnought, from Denver, Colorado, crafts genre-defying progressive metal. Formed in 2012, the quartet blends doom, black metal, folk, jazz, and classical elements, featuring multi-instrumentalists on flute, saxophone, and mandolin, alongside dual female vocals. Acclaimed albums include "The Endless" (2022), and they released the single "The Becoming" (2025). They are recognized for their unique, contemplative songwriting and atmospheric soundscapes.
