Labryse holds it down for queer heshers, appealing to those who like their music extreme, thrashy, and blackened. The metal four-piece has been refining their sound at Portland clubs and house shows after debuting a few years ago at the Not Enough Festival. They've gained a steady following among those who appreciate their soulful heaviness and chops, mixing elements of different metal genres and hardcore. Tonight celebrates their self-released LP, Ex Nocte Aeterna, recorded by Jeremy Romagna at Type Foundry and mixed and mastered by Radio Sloan at Castle Gayskull. It's also said to be virtuoso guitarist Ash Juno Inferna's last show with the band, which will likely add energy and poignancy to this Queer Aggression showcase. HALEY WESTEINER
