Summer gloom is the perfect setting for a visit from doom trio Le Morte and two accompanying punk groups based in Richmond. Well-timed on Halloween of 2023, Le Morte released its first full-length album, Midnight in The Garden of Tragedy, featuring husky screamo vocals and guitar riffs that kill. Their entire discography flirts with death and religion through songs like “Last Dream of a Dying God” and “Sanguine Repose.” Opener Future Projektor, a heavy metal instrumental trio, joins The X-Smash Casters, who blend English punk, New Wave, and rock ‘n’ roll—and have ties to Charlottesville punk outfit The Halfways.
