Keratoma/Filament 38/Discordia/Squidling Brothers Circus Sideshow/Swingshift Sideshow/Painsolution

Tonight, Cleveland industrial metal band Keratoma reunites for a one-off show at the Foundry, and its sure to be an intense one. The band played around town from 2002 to 2011, challenging the standard tropes of metal culture; “not dressed up for radio, and too damn ugly for TV,” as they put it. Imagine Pantera, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Slayer having a whiskey-fueled orgy. The hell spawn that emerges from this debauchery is Keratoma. Traveling sideshow act the Squidling Bros. open; they’ll offer their take on the humorously bizarre/grotesque. These guys do it all, sword-swallowing, glass-bathing, fire-breathing and knife play.
