This Friday, December 2nd, Midnite will host the incomparable force of Neurosis' Scott Kelly and Buried At Sea's Sanford Parker in their collaborative project Mirrors for Psychic Warfare. Extremely primal and visceral in nature, the duo journey their way from emotional, subtle soundscapes to bludgeoning, savage attacks of noise bellowing an audible depravity. Especially distinct in their live presence, one is immersed in an intense experience through waves of calm and storms creating an emotive, aural ambiance. Joined by Sanford in the form of his solo outlet and San Diego's SØLVE as special guest support, this gathering will commence at the notorious Handbag Factory in Downtown Los Angeles at 9pm.

Eternal gratitude to all who participated, helped, and attended this years Midnite Communion festivities in Long Beach. The journey was long, arduous, and trying but together we created memories that will last a lifetime. Symbolic and literal, this return to dirt was a reminder of the connection between the people and places that bind us, sharing ground in what truly inspires and comprises us. Until next year, support the dark arts and one another for the next Communion is now forthcoming. If you wish to peruse the artwork from this years gathering, the "Return to Dirt" artist exhibition will be on display at @thegoodbarlongbeach beginning this Thursday, November 17th until the first week in December. Further upcoming, local ceremonies will be revealed soon.. Artwork by @dylanxvx #midnitecommunion #returntodirt #thankyou (at Midnite Collective)

Traveling from the murk of Richmond, Virginia, COUGH will be summon ​the unending thunder from below the surface making the very ground quake. Their massive soundscape drenched in distortion and fuzz shoots a lingering chill down the spine with each strike to the anvil that is their grueling rhythm. Churning in constant motion, a heavy dose of sludge and doom metal merge into a ritualistic rite of aggression and hate. Recently re-surfaced from the depths of depravity with the Jus Oborn produced doom opus "Still They Pray" on Relapse Records, the band has returned from a European passage of destruction to perform a special set with their comrades in Minsk, Damad, Fistula, Hell, Seven Sisters of Sleep, Fister and Deathkings at this years Midnite Communion. Join us as we journey through the decline towards the end of this weekend of celebration, paving the way to return to dirt. Closing the second evening of these festivities on Saturday, November 12th at @dipiazzas_bar_lounge, Relapse Records merchants of muck @cough666 will lay waste to Long Beach at this years Midnite Communion. Tickets for the event are available at @fingerprintsmusic in diminishing quantity. Alternatively, we will have a limited set of tickets for each evening available at the door. #midnitecommunion #returntodirt #cough #richmond #virginia #sludge #doom #heavy #sludgemetal #doommetal #heavymetal @relapserecords #relapse #relapserecords #livemusic #festival #longbeach #lbc​ (at Dipiazzas)

Finding origin 14 years ago in the frost of Peoria, Illinois, MINSK are a crushing, elaborate metal band that combines elements of doom metal, progressive metal, sludge metal and tastes of noise and atmospheric sound through electronics and synth. Through this signature sound and style, the band ominously creeps on the heaviest end of psychedelia with their movements as they each tell a story of morbid curiosity. A powerful, forboding force of reckoning, Minsk preaches survival through suffering as their name suggests, taken from a city in the East that has been burned down repeatedly only to be rebuilt from the ashes. Unyielding in their delivery, Minsk are a spectacle to experience live and with precise execution they deliver a fierce blow to the line-up in penultimate placement. Making a rare one-off appearance at this years Midnite Communion, @thesoundofminsk will be performing live on Saturday, November 12th at @dipiazzas_bar_lounge beginning at 4pm. On this specific day, we have our full pop-up art exhibition and merchant market to accompany the music. Tickets are available in scarce quantity at @fingerprintsmusic while supplies last. Remaining tickets will be available in physical form 11/10 at the pre-party or at the doors of any given night. #midnitecommunion #returntodirt #minsk #chicago @relapserecords #relapse #relapserecords #sludge #doom #progressive #metal #sludgemetal #doommetal #progmetal #progressivemetal #music #livemusic #festival #dipiazzas #lbc #longbeach

As grim as they come, Italian artist Raoul "View from the Coffin" Mazzero creates compositions of utmost aggression in motion and strokes but fine, specific detail with them simultaneously. With a specific character to his work, he creates illustrations with unique morbid connections utilizing skulls and bones, elements of nature and wildlife, space and the cosmos as well as symbolic subjects signifying life, death, rebirth, occultism and the unknown beyond. Apart from his illustrations, Raoul is renowned for his logo work having created letterforms for all kinds of bands within the heavy metal realm with a unique concept and charisma that relates to each client. With his fitting alias in tow and having been a part of Midnite from it's inception, this is a fitting conclusion to round out this years artist line-up. Gazing up from 6-feet below, @viewfromthecoffin will have his work unleashed from the grave at this years Midnite Communion pop-up art exhibition for the second time on Saturday, November 12th at @dipiazzas_bar_lounge beginning at 4pm. Tickets are now only available in very scarce quantities at @fingerprintsmusic or at any of the events the day-of each show (including the pre-party on 11/10 at Prospector). #midnitecommunion #returntodirt #raoulmazzero #viewfromthecoffin #italy #art #artwork #illustration #pen #ink #dotwork #blackwork #logo #logowork #artshow #artgallery #artexhibition #dipiazzas #longbeach #lbc (at Dipiazzas)

Following the matinee closing of Midnite Communion IV at @alexsbarlbc, we will continue the evening with unrelenting energy, showcasing performances from @sextileband @dead.dawn @clayrendering and @glaaremusic.
