1st Annual Metal Fest!!
PRESENTED BY GREENVALE MANITOU
On Halloween night, we're out to raise some serious Hell! The Grand Events Center and Greenvale Manitou are proud to present you METAL FEST - Year One, the inception of what is to become a yearly event organized and coordinated by yours truly!
Five uprising bands. Five metal flavors. Come in costume, dressed in black, dressed to kill... We're metal heads, we do our own thing!
Opening Act - THE STABOTEURS
We're starting the show with punk flavors, decades of them, blended into memorable new originals. Our opening act is always fun and entertaining to see live. These guys will sure light things up for you! They came for the music, they will stay for the beer!
Listen to their last album, "Minneapolis Aftermath": https://tinyurl.com/Staboteurs
Main Act 1 - OISTER BOY
This four-piece punk metal powerhouse is channeling chaos into catharsis with a sound that slashes through the noise. Ferocious and vulnerable in equal measure, their thrashy, emotionally raw music fuses jagged riffs, scream-along hooks, and moments of disarming clarity. Their lyrics dive into heartbreak, mental health, growing pains, and the aching absurdity of modern life. With a new album on the way, Oister Boy is just getting started.
Check out their latest single "MN Skin" here: https://tinyurl.com/OisterBoy
Main Act 2 - THE BROKEN RULE
You asked for metal? We give you metal in all its forms, or most! Very prog at the core, this five-piece ensemble equally flirts with the most classic heavy to thrash, alt, groove, doom, etc. Fat bass, sharp guitar chops, tribal drums and percussion, vocals that seamlessly move from lyrical tightness, to beastly growls, or hip hop... Fresh out of the studio a few weeks ago after recording their first LP, they will play the entire album for the occasion! Their lyrics bring forward antifa swagger, sociopolitical commentaries and a filterless gaze at the chaotic nature of human absurdity.
You can listen to the first single "Thief", fresh out of the LP here:

Main Act 3 - DEAD BY 50
Formed in the eye of the storm during the riots, protests, and pandemic, Dead By 50 emerged from the Twin Cities as a force to be reckoned with. Comprised of veteran musicians with over 25 years of experience, this band has seen it all. Built to perform, they channel an eclectic and earnest brand of heavy metal that melts faces, moving between intensity, passion, and unrelenting energy. Their full-length album, "Apoplectic" (dropped in May 2024) rips open the scars of these uncertain times, tearing through themes of fear, frustration, and anger with a sound as relentless as it is authentic.
Have a listen at the album here: https://tinyurl.com/DeadBy50
Closing Act - UNDERGRAD
We couldn't have a Metal Fest in Nofo without the student population being represented! "Nemo Saltat Sobrius" (i.e. "nobody dances sober") is their motto, as they cast playful wink at Olaf's dry campus. They rock hard, and they party harder! After winning the St. Olaf Pause Battle of the Bands, headlining Springfest last semester, and performing at many local bars and fraternity events, this is their chance to make you dance till the party's over with gritty covers of Basket Case or House of the Rising Sun, plus a few hype originals! Oh, and, I hear they come in funky costumes...
Their version of House of the Rising Sun sounds a lot like that: https://tinyurl.com/UndergradRisingSun
The best place to be on Halloween in Northfield! Come join the monster party!
