Still freshly christened, yet already highly celebrated, Red River Cultural District newcomer venue Chess Club brings yet another heavy banger this Sabbath. Offering their blackened atmospheric sludgy soundscapes, local doomsayers Communion (including members of Deep Cross) headline. Only their second show of the year, it would be ill advised to miss this dark, dismal, and somewhat experimental sonic experience. Ritualistically oscillating between etherial and crushing, Houston doom outfit Midnight Burial provide main support, while locals Left to Rot speed things up slightly with their pulverizing brand of death metal. And all this on the Lord’s Day, no less.
