Well holeeee sheeeeeit. Time to rise again, this time with Living Evil and our buddies Fully Crazed, to open up for none other than the mighty Accused AD. I think it's fair to say, you don't want to miss this one.
Something big is a-brewin for early 2026 that we simply cannot be more excited about. We can't spill the beans quite yet, but let's just say it may or may not be time to dust off the ol' nuthugger jeans and pretend it's 1991 all over again.

While we're super disappointed that due to life happening, we had to pull out of this show, we're super stoked that the mighty Debt of Nature gets to rise again. This will be a rager for Schwam's 5th annual 50th Bday. Do not miss this one! We'll be back!

Hold The Line, by Distorted Influence track by Distorted Influence
As you may, or may not know, we've been busy behind the scenes cooking up some brand spankin' new material. So just in time for 2025, here's the lyric video for our latest track, "Hold the Line". This track will be available for download from our Bandcamp page shortly - but first things first! We hope you enjoy it. Happy New Year!
