Liturgy + Sightings + Matteah Baim + Swati

Liturgy's brand-new Aesthethica, which the band fetes tonight, is one of the year's standout metal releases, and an album that's already resonating with plenty of nonheadbangers as well. Even as the songs place a new emphasis on technicality, they still project the dire emotion that made the band's debut, Renihilation, so impressive. Local noise-rock heavyweights Sightings and tripped-out new-folkie Matteah Baim help set the stage.
