The Heavy Underground Owns This Fall
Two of these you won’t see hyped anywhere else, and the third — All Shall Perish — has been on the books a while. But the support acts just got announced, and that’s the part worth caring about. All three are routing through SoCal this fall, and one of them is already circled on my calendar.
All Shall Perish — The Price of Existence 20th Anniversary
with Carnifex · Extermination · Dismemberment · Mauled
The anniversary run itself was announced back in the spring — they’re playing The Price of Existence front to back, the 2006 Nuclear Blast record that introduced Eddie Hermida and a pile of songs they admit they never played live back in the day. What just dropped is the support, and it’s the reason to circle this one: Carnifex, Extermination, Dismemberment and Mauled turn a 20-year victory lap into a full night of the heavy stuff. I’ll be at The Observatory on September 5 — this is the one I cleared my schedule for.

Profanatica — Summer 2026 US Tour
with Morbosidad · Cloak
A full US run from Paul Ledney’s blasphemous black/death institution is exactly the kind of tour that doesn’t make a single front page — which is exactly why it belongs here. They hit 1720 on August 8, a corridor room with no barricade and nowhere to hide, which is precisely where this band should be playing. Morbosidad and Cloak filling out the bill makes it a genuinely nasty night. Thirty-plus dates of it, too — Profanatica don’t do victory laps, they do sieges.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats — Fall 2026 North American Tour
with Messa
After three nights of blast beats, here’s the one you can actually put on a record and drive to. Uncle Acid’s fuzzed-out, melodic occult doom lands at The Bellwether in LA on September 20, with Messa in support — and Messa’s own doom is worth getting there early for. Nearly a decade into their cult run, this is the rare bill where the opener is as essential as the headliner. Bring earplugs and a clear head; it earns both.

Three SoCal stops worth clearing room for this fall — one I’m already counting down to. Show up for the ones that don’t come around twice.
