Calendar Pick: Noise Mountain, Slumbering Sun, Frisson

Slumbering Sun

Local booking and promotion company Shadebeast is putting on a show this week featuring three heavy bands from the South: Noise Mountain, Slumbering Sun and Frisson. Since beginning as a record shop in 2017, Shadebeast has evolved into a heavy metal artist collective, valuing authenticity over mainstream acceptance as it bolsters talents both local and otherwise. Noise Mountain is one such local band, composed of veterans of the Athens punk scene who draw from the midwestern alternative sound of the ‘80s and the mid-tempo punk of the ‘90s. Post-metal group Frisson is also based in Athens, claiming humbly to have been “voted worst metal band in Athens three years in a row.” Slumbering Sun is the only out-of-towner for this show, a traditional and melodic doom band hailing from Texas. Its members come from other underground bands, including Temptress, Destroyer of Light and Monte Luna.
