Eyes Eternal, founded in 2019 in Sacramento, California, blends each individual band member’s various musical influences and shared passion for creation into their own unique raw force of hard rock. Combining heavy riffs with catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics, the members use musical expression as rebellion against the mundane.

The pandemic hit just as Eyes Eternal was coming on to the scene and slowed the momentum they had built to a virtual halt, but they persevered and went on to write and record their self-titled album. In doing so, Eyes Eternal wanted to capture and share the energy of their live performance. Finished late in 2023, the band was finally able to turn their inspiration into reality and unleash their recorded art on the world.

In 2024, Eyes Eternal added synth playing back up vocalist Abigail Braun to their lineup to create fierce scream harmonies and haunting piano lines. Further, in summer of 2025 Eyes Eternal recorded an EP and are releasing their first single on January 15, 2026 entitled, “Safe Word”.

FERROCENE is a genre-bending band, mixing shoegaze and nu-metal influences with melodic and ambient vocals, creating large walls of dreamy sound, while also balancing gutting breakdowns. Formed in Sacramento, they built their sound on emotional hooks and textured riffs, and intimate lyrical themes.

Failure by Proxy is an American rock band from Galt, California, formed in December 2017. Drummer, Eric “SpAz” Lewis was new to the Sacramento music scene and was looking to join or create a band that captured the Nu Metal / Rock foundation. SpAz and his former singer hit up the local scene in search of passionate, experienced musicians. Lead Guitarist Chuck “Cash” Schubert, and Bassist and backing vocalist Chris “Gemini” Alosi immediately created the foundation.

In November 2018, the chemistry of the band changed dynamically. Anthony “AntMan" reached out to see if the band needed another guitarist… The band was skeptical, since Chuck (Southern Rock) and Anthony (Progressive Metal) are opposites when it comes to playing style, and that was the missing piece.

Mid 2020, they faced the departure of their singer and looking to replace that position would not be easy. Auditions were held and the band unequivocally decided on Rob. Rob brought a whole new level to the band. With his diverse vocal ability, lyrically writing and stage presence, he truly rounded out the band like never before. Once Rob joined the band, they were introduced to their current producer, Nick Miller (A Skylit Drive), they finished their first EP.

In May 2022, they suffered a horrible tragedy with the sudden passing of their singer Robert Wall. After a brief hiatus, the band recruited Chris "Elk" Elkins from Pismo Beach to come and audition for the vocalist position. The band had 4 un-released songs without vocals, and within days Elk had finished the lyrics.

Their high energy, music and stage presence led to their selection to play the 2021 Blue Ridge Rock Festival and have opened for national acts such as: Gemini Syndrome, Soulfly, Ill Nino, Drowning Pool, Messier, FLAW, Smile Empty Soul, Oleander, Puddle of Mudd, Buckcherry, Joyous Wolf, P.O.D., nonpoint, Islander, Nine Shrines, and Breaking In A Sequence.
