Below the poignant, heartfelt cries of singer-songwriters and the ticklish grooves of jam-rockers, there’s a dark undercurrent of guttural sound in local music that’s soon to break like a jump scare in a slasher film. C’ville doom/sludge band Beldam shares a five-part bill with Wanderer, Dogs Eyes, Genosha and Sundrainer for a hardcore show that promises twisted metal for all: mosh riffs, breakdown rituals, blackened doom and a “promise to drain suns and melt faces.”
Thursday 6/9. $5-8, 7pm. The Ante Room, 219 Water St. 284-8561.
