Nequient

Our set from Mickey's Tavern in Madison as filmed by Chino Koki (cover photo by Rich Homan). We had a great time this past weekend playing and hanging with the dudes in Corridoré. Thanks to all who made those shows possible. Looking forward to seeing more friends when we get back on the road in July.

NEQUIENT - Live at Mickey's Tavern (June 5th, 2026. Madison, WI) Grinding metallic hardcore chaos.https://nequient.bandcamp.com/mu...

If you weren't there, you can watch the full set from our album release show, as filmed by Michael Rataj. If you were there, you can watch it anyway and try to spot yourself. Fun!

NEQUIENT - "Avarice" live at Liar's Club, Chicago, IL 04/24/2026 (full set) NEQUIENT’s hometown release show for their third full-length album,...

For Thursday, June 11, we helped assemble an eclectic little showcase at Illuminated Brew Works. If you like our rhythm section, you should not miss this: Chris will play THREE sets, performing with us, his trad metal project Heroine Sentinel, and the hardest working man in Chicago rock Ricky Liontones. Aaron will do double-duty by crushing with his sludge outfit, Arbogast (plus our friend Mike, who has kindly helped us out with photos and video on multiple occasions, is playing with both Arbogast and his prog/fusion group Sons of Ra). Jason and Patrick will play one short set and then sit back and drink beers. And you're welcome to join us!

Wisconsin! Four of your favorite FIBs are coming to play a couple of shows this weekend with our friends in Corridoré. We'll be in Madison on Friday, June 5, and in Appleton on Saturday, June 6, to share some tunes from our new album and hang with you.

Watch our video for "Obsolete Machines" (Note: Contains some gross images and horrific reflections upon the commodification of human bodies and minds).

NEQUIENT - "Obsolete Machines" "Obsolete Machines" is the third single from NEQUIENT's third full-length LP, Avarice. https://www.nefariousindustries.com/nef119Produced by Sanford Parker (...

Looking forward to getting back on the road for more shows this summer, starting with a visit to Wisconsin (Madison and Appleton) this weekend.

We have a killer DIY show in Chicago coming up May 27. If you can hang on a school night, you should not miss this one.

DEVOURING THE AGONIZING
American Grind/Hardcore collective, Nequient, released their third album, "Avarice" through Nefarious Industries. The record's panoramic sleeve artwork (see it on this post) was hand-painted by Arifullah Ali, who has collaborated with several underground bands in recent times.

"The cover captures the album’s pervading horror with an expressionistic vision of a giant worm constricting and devouring an agonized victim," comments Nequient's vocalist, Jason Kolkey. He says that for Arifullah Ali's main focus was "to visualize the intensity and the violent nature of the band's sound.”

Happy May Day/Bandcamp Friday! Thanks to everyone who listened to, bought, and/or reviewed AVARICE in the first week of release. We really appreciate it! If you haven't grabbed a copy, now is a great time to do it.

We'll be announcing our full tour itinerary for the summer shortly, but in the meantime, we have a classic weeknight DIY banger coming up on May 27 at the Lowdown with our pals from Atlanta, Malevich, plus MENSA and iwishyoucameback.
