Why We Like It

  • Agriculture's music is rooted in community and persistence, with songs written, dismantled, and rebuilt together.
  • Their new full-length album, 'The Spiritual Sound,' builds on the radiant extremity of their previous releases and pushes further.
  • This is not just a vibe - it's a demand for confrontation and catharsis.

Who Should Attend

This event will appeal to fans of black metal, spiritual and devotional music, and those interested in the intersection of music, community, and social commentary.
