Chicago’s REZN isn’t for everyone. Blending doom, psychedelia, prog rock, and shoegaze, their sound is certainly an acquired taste. It’s a marriage of brute force and sublime textures. Imagine Black Sabbath playing 70s Pink Floyd songs. Having toured with the likes of Elder, King Buffalo, and Russian Circles, REZN has been making major waves in the metal underground over the course of their nine-year existence and are now considered to be one of the premiere bands of the heavy psych genre. Here’s your chance to catch them live. Rounding out the bill are Asheville blackened doom/death metal band Harsh Realm, and the absolutely crushing doom/sludge sounds of both Lexington’s CROP and Louisville’s Azell.
