Based out of Washington DC, progressive rock/metal quintet Wings Denied have made rapid strides in the two years of their active existence, and 2014 has certainly been their best year yet with the release of their debut album Mirrors For A Prince. Wings Denied find the perfect and often elusive balance between catchy melodies and skillful progressive musicianship. Jamie King's involvement behind the board and guest contributions by the likes of Joe Lester prove that Wings Denied already have the approval of the modern metal world, and things will only get better for them from here onwards.

They'll be joined by Tone, who were described by Rolling Stone magazine as "three guitar post-rock army that fills every available space with sound, making an outdoor show sound like an indoor show." Tone has deconstructed the conventions of a band for over 20 years. Starting in 1991, TONE had laid the foundations for bands such as Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Tone has relentlessly explored the often unpredictable, always epic sonic path of a dedicated instrumental ensemble.
