NAILED SHUT MA consistently brings a unique raw energy and thoughtful disorder to each and every performance, delivering a sonic force that pushes New England’s hardcore/deathcore scene to the next level. With punishing yet unconventional vocals, Asher Thomas creates depictions of bodily and psychological horror through lyricism centered around mental health awareness, while the band reflects these themes musically through brutal riffs, tight drum grooves and a gut-wrenching low end. Idioteq Alternative Music says the band’s sound “promises to be a surreal journey…delving into the darkest corners of the human experience.” In 2023, the band released their long awaited debut EP, ‘LUST IN THE END’, which they have since performed in many iconic venues across the northeast as well as 2024’s Inkcarceration Festival. The band has studied under David Marvuglio (Ice Nine Kills), Grammy award winner Paul T. Riddle (Marshall Tucker Band and The Allman Brothers Band), and has worked alongside Extreme Vocal Institute’s esteemed vocal coach David Benites. They have shared the stage with inspiring bands such as All Shall Perish, Acacia Strain, Peeling Flesh, Kaonashi, and many more. Recently the band began working alongside Unchained Management to further the project’s endeavors. Their energetic performances are sure to knock the wind out of you – Nailed Shut is here and they’re here to wreak havoc.
