COUP D'ÉTAT 'What Happens After the Epilogue...' release show
COUP D'ÉTAT
Goddamn this band is so fucking good. They played almost all of their new/debut album, and considering they've only been a band since March of 2024 that is some serious heat in a very short amount of time. Freya accidentally unplugged her pedals at one point and Lili jet-puked after the set, but in the end these are just vibrant little memories from the set and not detracting factors. A truly excellent experience all around. The band even included a brand new jam with the help of Devi from Lord Wrought and good got did that shit slap. The band's next show is January 12th in Victoria with a buncha other homies. Stoked!

JISEI
This Victoria/Vancouver two-piece unleashed mayhem (as per usual) with one of the most consistently animated and awesome performers (Leda). Mathy, grindy, intense, and sick.

LORD WROUGHT
I hadn't heard of this band but vocalist Devi introduced themselves to me early on so I was on the lookout when they played...and holy fuck did they kick my ass. Pitch-black hardcore with metal and screamo leanings who released a new EP back in November, but they played a new song and it knocked my socks off. These feet still be cold. "some people need to fucking die"

CORRODE
Ma boyee Dalton drums from this hardcore band, as he and I were kind of a pre-Mourn Recif two-piece whose time was cut short after he moved from Nanaimo to Victoria and the geography no longer worked. It was awesome to see him rip it up and holy fuck is this band 1) tight 2) technical 3) badass

FILIGREE SILVER GOD
Wooooooah nelly I hadn't heard of this band before but they are definitely top-tier BC screamo!!! Amazing three-piece with some exceptional guitarwork and some serious Swan Of Tuonela and Atalanta vibes that I think frequenters of this blog will drop jaws over.

MOURN RECIF
This was without a doubt the band's favourite set we've played and with us being a three-piece now our set options felt limited. If you live in Duncan or Nanaimo (or even Victoria if you're willing to drive) and play guitar feel free to hit me up at zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com

HOSPICE
Ooooo baby this three-piece (featuring Lili and Raine from Coup D'état) absolutely ripped through what felt like less than 10 minutes of bass-driven awesome-sauce.
