Started as stoner/sludge, pivoted to thrash and black metal territory. Played their final show at Kick Butt Coffee in July 2022.

Floor formed in Miami, Florida in 1992 and developed a distinctive two-guitar, no-bass sludge and stoner metal approach built around severely down-tuned strings and extremely loose low-end techniques — including what critics described as a "bomb note" — that gave their sound unusual sonic weight. The band released a self-titled album and the EP Madonna before disbanding in 2004, with guitarist Steve Brooks going on to co-found Torche. A reunion beginning in 2010 and a fuller reformation in 2013 produced Dove and Oblation (2014), restoring Floor's influence on the Miami doom and sludge scene and introducing the band to a new generation of listeners.

Reunited heavy metal from central Texas.

Born from the ashes of Nirvana when drummer Dave Grohl recorded an entire album by himself in 1994, Foo Fighters grew from a one-man project in Seattle into the biggest rock band of their generation. Across albums from 'The Colour and the Shape' to 'Medicine at Midnight,' Grohl's gift for massive hooks and genuine joy in playing guitar translated into a catalog of rock anthems that defined multiple decades. The band's resilience through tragedy, including the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022, demonstrated the deep bonds at the heart of the project.

Four Seconds Ago is an electronic and ambient project formed in 2018 by Periphery guitarists Misha Mansoor and Jake Bowen as an outlet for their shared interest in electronica far removed from the djent-heavy sound of their primary band. Their debut album The Vacancy (2018), released on Century Media via Periphery's own 3DOT Recordings imprint, trades metal for ambient textures, deep synthesis, and groove-oriented electronic production informed by Bowen's prior solo release Isometric (2015) and Mansoor's extensive production and mixing background. A follow-up, 1000 Needles, was subsequently released through 3DOT Recordings.
