Molder and Primal Code Rock Chicago’s Metal Scene at Reggies

Chicago’s metal scene is buzzing with excitement as two local bands, Molder and Primal Code, gear up to celebrate their new albums at Reggies Rock Club. The event promises to be a thrilling showcase of the city’s diverse and prolific music scene, with a lineup that is sure to captivate metal fans from all walks of life.

Molder: Engrossed in Decay to Catastrophic Reconfiguration

Molder, a four-piece band hailing from Joliet, is set to headline the show with their latest release, “Catastrophic Reconfiguration.” The album, which follows their 2022 release “Engrossed in Decay,” showcases the band’s growth and evolution after spending extensive time on the road. With new guitarist Carlos Santini on board, Molder’s sound has evolved into a blend of classic death metal with groovy, filthy undertones. From pulverizing riffs to scathing guitar solos, hard-driving drums, and poignant lyrics, Molder’s music delves into the harsh realities and anxieties of the modern world, reminiscent of metal veterans like Autopsy and Obituary.

Primal Code: A Trio on a Mission

Joining Molder on stage is Primal Code, a trio of local musicians who are making waves with their debut album “Opaque Fixation.” Vocalist and guitarist Gene Marino, drummer James Farn, and bassist Will Lindsay bring a wealth of experience from their other musical projects to create a sound that is both brutal and thought-provoking. With a focus on humankind’s inhumanity, Primal Code’s music delivers a powerful punch of brutality that challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about our place in the world.
