With nine studio albums to date, their 2025 release New Gods, New Masters explores themes of artificial intelligence and the pull of technology on society.

Formed in 1993 by drummer Lille Gruber and his late father, guitarist Wolfgang Teske, the group continues to expand the boundaries of extreme music, most recently with the seventh full-length Chronicles of Lunacy, issued in late 2024 through Season of Mist. Fuming Mouth channels death metal ferocity through a hardcore lens. Founded in 2013 in Massachusetts and led by Mark Whelan, who returned to music after a life-threatening battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, the band leans into gritty, crust-tinged riffing and thick distortion that bridges old-school death metal and modern hardcore. New Jersey’s Weeping rounds out the lineup with a volatile blend of death metal, hardcore, and powerviolence. Active since 2020, they fuse brutal death weight with technical, mathcore-like shifts and emotionally charged vocal intensity.

See details▸Chanel Beads
Neumos, 925 E Pike St, SeattleNeumos presents an evening with Chanel Beads, joined by Mechatok and urika's bedroom. The experimental project led by Shane Lavers arrives with a second album that shares a title with the 2024 debut yet stands as an entirely new statement, shaped by the push and pull between confidence and uncertainty. Raised in Minnesota and first developing the project in Seattle in 2016 while working at a library for the blind, Lavers blends synthetic textures with live instruments to create music that defies simple categorization. By 2022 the project’s intimate, androgynous vocal style and uncanny production had earned a devoted online following, evolving from house and tunnel shows to opening on a North American arena run with Lorde. The latest songs took shape in a modest Brooklyn studio through an intuitive process that captures ideas as they form, favoring whatever tools are on hand and preserving the take that feels alive. Lyrically, the music leans into open questions, contemplating how nihilism and love can coexist, and uses dreamlike logic to navigate liminal spaces, fragile memory, grief, and the pull of old patterns. This event is 21 and over, and a valid ID is required for entry. Doors open at the time shown on the listing, and performances typically begin about an hour later, though the schedule may change without notice.

Bloedel Hall, St. Mark's Cathedral, 1245 10th Ave E, Seattle · verified Sep 18An intimate evening at St Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle brings together YAIMA and Nessi Gomes for a quietly immersive concert experience. YAIMA, the duo of multi-instrumentalist and producer Masaru Higasa with vocalist Pepper Proud, shapes cinematic soundscapes with instruments from around the world, organic rhythms, spacious electronic textures, warm vocals, and reflective lyrics. Rooted in a deep reverence for nature, their work seeks to connect people with the natural world. The name draws from a Mapudungun phrase meaning “that which water runs through” as well as Japan’s Yaeyama Islands, and over the past five years their music has reached audiences across the globe. British‑Portuguese songwriter Nessi Gomes, born on the island of Guernsey, writes songs that meet life head on. Her music holds beauty alongside fear, gives space to longing without needing to resolve it, and lets shadowed feelings breathe without shame. Elements of her Portuguese heritage color the emotional palette, from ache and yearning to persistent hope. She writes to understand herself and sings to remain truthful. Her debut album, Diamonds & Demons, opened the way to sharing her songs internationally in both intimate and larger settings, with an emphasis on presence and authenticity. Presented within the Cathedrals Concerts series by Abbey Arts, a Seattle nonprofit nurturing music, arts, and community since 2005 and celebrating 20 years, this event offers an open floor format with a calm, listening-centered atmosphere. All ages are welcome, with some seating available. Expect a mix of chairs, benches, pews, and floor space around the stage, and feel free to bring cushions or blankets for comfort.

Centered on her album The Fatal Flaw, the performance explores love, loss, and becoming, shifting from the introspective world of her debut Cacophony to a candid, outward expression driven by vivid lyricism, soaring vocals, and cinematic production. Her platinum-certified single Labour has surpassed 750 million Spotify streams and generated more than 11 billion social views, helping spark global conversations about reproductive rights and opposition to sexual violence. The album opens with Miyazaki, a bold creative statement named for filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. It moves through terrain that is as personal as it is political. Good Girl confronts the commodification of women’s bodies and drew attention after BBC Woman’s Hour, while Good Boy frames feminism as a call for solidarity with men, introduced by a reading from Emma Thompson. The record is animated by many forms of love, all threaded with a constant devotion to art, drawing on influences that include the opening line of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, the seascapes of J. M. W. Turner, bell hooks’ feminist theory, and Pre-Raphaelite romanticism. Her live shows are known for a communal spirit where fans share small notes, books, and quiet moments. After a sold-out arena run supporting Florence + The Machine, including a Berlin appearance with Florence Welch on stage, she steps into her largest headlining chapter across the UK, Europe, and North America. Beyond touring, her voice has reached wide audiences with performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Later... with Jools Holland, and The Kelly Clarkson Show, along with recognition from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian. She also contributed The Rider to The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
