The energy was high, the riffs were heavy, and the underground was thriving.
⚔️ SEPTARIAN: From Family Roots to the Frontlines of Metal
First up was SEPTARIAN , a tight-knit band blending veteran musicianship with bloodline chemistry. Guitarist Josh and drummer Kenneth have been playing together for over 25 years. Now joined by Kenneth’s daughter Megan on vocals, and rounded out by bassist John and guitarist Nick , the band has rebranded and redefined themselves — emerging from the ashes of their past project Double Barrel Democracy .
“We’ve been trying for the last three years to get on this [festival]... We are super fucking excited.” – Josh
“It’s in my blood. What can I say?” – Megan
Influenced by everyone from Death and Napalm Death to Dying Fetus , Fear Factory , and Arch Enemy (especially during the Angela Gossow era), SEPTARIAN delivers a powerful blend of brutality and melody. Zach described their sound as:
“Arch Enemy, eat your fucking heart out… but taken to a new level.”
The band will unleash a new full-length album titled Blood Scripture , tracked at Dark Sails’ studio and partially mixed by a member of Gojira — a massive nod to their rising profile.
🎛 CODY SATTERWHITE & DARK SAILS ENTERTAINMENT: A Label That Gets It
Later in the show, Codye Satterwhite , founder of Dark Sails Entertainment , joined the conversation to shed light on the label’s mission, studio, and future plans.
Born from the struggles of the early 2000s DIY scene, Dark Sails was created to help underground bands navigate today’s oversaturated digital landscape with real resources and passion.
“We just want to help bands… get music to market at modern recording standards.”
Dark Sails operates their own professional studio in Norcross, GA, featuring a massive collection of amps, cabs, and boutique gear , plus an SSL Origin console for drum tracking. The studio doesn’t rely on Kemper profiling — they track real amps, real air .
Upcoming releases from the label include:
Septarian – 3 new singles and the full-length Blood Scripture
Violence System – studio EP on the way
Leafblower – debut EP dropping in August
Subdivisions – new album due mid-September
Dark Sails Compilation CD – featuring 15 tracks from across the label’s roster, available at the festival
“Guitar players drool when they walk into our studio and see all the heads we have.” – Codye
“Support independent music. Support your local bands. Support what Zach is doing.”
🤘 Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest 2025: Countdown Begins
Both interviews were heavily focused on the upcoming Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest 2025 , where both SEPTARIAN and several Dark Sails bands will perform. The excitement was contagious:
“We are going to throw down harder than we ever thrown down before.” – Megan (Septarian)
Codye predicted this may be the last year the fest is held at its current Jackson venue:
“You’re going to outgrow it — and that’s a good thing.”
Zach teased bigger speakers , more power , and of course, more tacos .
