2 Day Metal Festival in Sacramento,. California. November 14-15 2026 - Harlow's

10/29/2026

💀🔥ATTENTION SATAN WORSHIPPING, ALCOHOL POISONED MANIAKS!🔥💀

WRETCHED RITES MMXXVI IS PROUD TO WELCOME BACK ONE OF OUR CLOSEST ALLIES AND ONE OF THE FINEST UNDERGROUND RECORD LABELS ON THE FU***NG PLANET!

STYGIAN BLACK HAND!

RESPONSIBLE FOR UNLEASHING SOME OF THE MOST ELITE BLACK AND DEATH METAL IN EXISTENCE, SBH HAS EARNED ITS REPUTATION THROUGH AN ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING CATALOG OF UNDERGROUND EXTREMITY!

NOW HERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW.

WRETCHED RITES WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AS A ONE DAY STYGIAN SHOWCASE!

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH AVAILABLE BANDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, SO THE IDEA MUTATED INTO THE TWO DAY MONSTROSITY WE KNOW TODAY. SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, WE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE FU***NG THING!

BUT REST ASSURED, YOU CAN EXPECT STYGIAN BANDS AT WRETCHED RITES EVERY YEAR!

THEN THERE'S SBH CEO HIMSELF. THIS LUNATIC PULLED DOUBLE DUTY LAST YEAR PERFORMING WITH BOTH HORNS & HOOVES AND STRESS ANGEL, THEN PROCEEDED TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OFF THE STAGE REPEATEDLY DURING SADISTIC INTENT'S SET. THE VIDEO EVIDENCE IS OUT THERE!

AND APPARENTLY THAT WASN'T ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE WEEKEND, BECAUSE THIS SON OF A BITCH ALSO FOUND TIME TO GO PARTY (ALLEGEDLY) WITH THE LOCALS DOWN ON JIBBOOM STREET AND RICHARDS BOULEVARD.

ANYONE FROM SACRAMENTO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF FU***NG NEIGHBORHOOD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, PRIOR ENGAGEMENTS WILL KEEP JESSE FROM ATTENDING THIS YEAR, BUT WE EXPECT THIS DEGENERATE TO RETURN IN 2027!

ALL BU****IT ASIDE, SBH HAS BEEN PART OF WRETCHED RITES SINCE BEFORE THE FESTIVAL EVEN EXISTED IN ITS CURRENT FORM.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO JESSE FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP, SUPPORT, AND FOR HELPING PLANT THE SEED THAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THIS GODFORSAKEN FESTIVAL!

GO BUY SOME S**T, SBH DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT

10/27/2026

WRETCHED RITES MMXXVI IS PROUD TO WELCOME ANOTHER ABSOLUTE INSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN UNDERGROUND TO OUR GROWING ARMY OF SPONSORS!

OSSUARY INDUSTRIES!

FOUNDED IN 2004 AND OPERATED OUT OF HOUSTON, TEXAS BY THE ONE AND ONLY BIG BALD BRIAN, OSSUARY INDUSTRIES HAS SPENT THE LAST 22 YEARS BUILDING ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED NAMES IN AMERICAN BRUTAL DEATH METAL!

BEFORE BIG BALD BRIAN WAS TERRORIZING TEXAS WITH HIS EVER EXPANDING EMPIRE OF BRUTALITY, HE WAS A SACRAMENTO BOY. BUT NOT JUST SACRAMENTO, WEST SACRAMENTO!

THE VERY SAME S**THOLE WHERE WRETCHED EARTH PRODUCTIONS CEO JENSEN REIGNS TO THIS DAY

LEGEND HAS IT THAT BRIAN FLED SACRAMENTO BACK WHEN JENSEN WAS STILL EATING PASTE IN GRADE SCHOOL, AFTER AUTHORITIES BEGAN INVESTIGATING HIS ATTEMPTS TO PREEMPTIVELY PREVENT THE BIRTH OF FUTURE METALCORE MUSICIANS.

UNFORTUNATELY, SKYNET HAD ALREADY WON, AND BRIAN WAS FORCED TO RELOCATE TO TEXAS, WHERE HE CONTINUES HIS WAR AGAINST THE FUTURE FROM OSSUARY INDUSTRIES HEADQUARTERS.

DESPITE BOTH EMERGING FROM THE SAME M**H SWAMP OF WEST SACRAMENTO, THESE TWO BALD HEADED SONS OF BI***ES WOULDN'T CROSS PATHS UNTIL 2022 AT THE DEEP IN THE PIT OF TEXAS FEST.

IT WAS LIKE TWO LONG LOST BROTHERS FINALLY REUNITING AFTER DECADES OF SEPARATION, EXCEPT INSTEAD OF A HEARTWARMING FAMILY REUNION, THERE WAS BRUTAL DEATH METAL, B**R, AND TWO SHINY FU***NG HEADS REFLECTING THE STAGE LIGHTS.

HE'S ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LEGENDARY BUILDING TEMPLES FROM DEATH FEST, AND EVEN HELPED SECURE MALIGNANCY AS ONE OF THIS YEAR'S WR HEADLINERS!

OSSUARY INDUSTRIES REPRESENTS THE TRUE STANDARD ELITE! OVER TWO DECADES OF SUPPORTING THE SICKEST, MOST REPULSIVE BRUTAL DEATH METAL ON THE PLANET. NO DEATHCORE INFESTATION, NO FLAVOR OF THE MONTH BU****IT, NO DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO REINVENT THE WHEEL FOR A GENERATION THAT DISCOVERED GUTTURALS ON TIKTOK.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO BIG BALD BRIAN FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP, HIS CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE UNDERGROUND, AND FOR HELPING SPREAD THE WORD OF THE RITES.

🔥💀WELCOME OUR NEWEST SPONSOR, VINYL COMMAND!💀🔥

VINYL COMMAND HAS ONE OF THE BEST SELECTIONS OF UNDERGROUND METAL IN THE COUNTRY, WITH AN INSANE INVENTORY OF VINYL, CDS, CASSETTES, SHIRTS, AND HARD TO FIND RELEASES. THEY KNOW THEIR S**T, AND THEIR STORE IS PROOF OF IT.

AND LET US MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY FU***NG CLEAR. THESE DUDES MEAN BUSINESS.

VINYL COMMAND DEALS IN UNDERGROUND METAL. PERIOD.

YOU WANT SOME CLASSIC ROCK? TAKE YOUR ASS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

LOOKING FOR THE LATEST TOP 40 GARBAGE? GET THE F**K OUT.

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 47,000 OTHER RECORD STORES WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR TERRIBLE TASTE IN MUSIC.

AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WANDERING IN THERE TO KILL SOME TIME!

THIS IS A RECORD STORE, NOT A GODDAMN ZOO.

THERE'S NO ROOM FOR LOOKY LOOS, WINDOW SHOPPERS, OR SOME DIPS**T WHO WANTS TO SPEND 45 MINUTES FLIPPING THROUGH RECORDS JUST TO ANNOUNCE THAT HE CAN GET THEM THREE DOLLARS CHEAPER ON DISCOGS.

YOU WALK THROUGH THOSE DOORS, YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO BUY SOME FU***NG RECORDS. OTHERWISE, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WHAT BECOMES OF YOU.

WE'VE HEARD STORIES. WE'RE NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS THEM.

VINYL COMMAND IS ALSO OUR PARTNER IN CRIME FOR DESECRATION IN THE DESERT, OUR EXCUSE TO DRAG A COLLECTION OF THE MOST REPULSIVE CREATURES IN EXTREME METAL INTO THE ARIZONA DESERT!

AS FOR DESECRATION IN THE DESERT RETURNING IN 2027? WELL, THAT'S CURRENTLY SITTING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY AND HARD NO. WE'LL SEE WHAT THE F**K HAPPENS!

FOR ALL YOU OUTSIDE OF ARIZONA, VINYL COMMAND SHIPS NATIONWIDE!

REGARDLESS OF WHICH GODFORSAKEN CORNER OF THE USA YOU CALL HOME, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR NEXT MOUNTAIN OF PROPAGANDA DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR!

JUST REMEMBER, THE SAME RULES APPLY ONLINE. QUIT STARING AT THE FU***NG INVENTORY AND BUY SOM**HING!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO VINYL COMMAND FOR THEIR SUPPORT, THEIR FRIENDSHIP, AND THEIR CONTINUED WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR SCHEMES TO BRING EXTREME METAL TO THE MASSES!

💀🔥 ANOTHER UNHOLY ALLIANCE HAS BEEN FORGED! 🔥💀

PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEWEST SPONSOR, IRONHEAD RECORDS!

STRAIGHT OUT OF PORT JERVIS, NEW YORK, IRONHEAD RECORDS IS THE BRAINCHILD OF JESSE TRAYNOR, A LIFELONG MANIAK WHO DECIDED TO TURN HIS OBSESSION INTO A FULL BLOWN RECORD STORE. NOW HE SPENDS HIS DAYS SURROUNDED BY PILES OF DEATH METAL, BLACK METAL, PUNK, AND HARDCORE, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD WAY TO MAKE A LIVING IF YOU ASK US.

LOCATED AT 169 PIKE STREET, PORT JERVIS, NY 12771, LESS THAN TWO HOURS FROM NEW YORK CITY, THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HOUSE OF DEGENERACY IS PACKED WALL TO WALL WITH VINYL, CDS, CASSETTES, AND ENOUGH RARE AND OBSCURE RELEASES TO SEND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DIRECTLY INTO THE ABYSS.

AND THE MADNESS DOESN'T END THERE!

THEY'VE GOT BAND SHIRTS, PATCHES, HATS, OCCULT BOOKS, TAROT CARDS, ZINES, AND ENOUGH OTHER MORBID CURIOSITIES TO MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE WITH A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN WHATEVER YOU CAME IN LOOKING FOR.

THESE LUNATICS EVEN HOST LIVE UNDERGROUND MUSIC RIGHT THERE IN THE SHOP! THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN SHOW UP TO BUY A RECORD AND LEAVE WITH PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE AND A NEW FRIENDSHIP WITH SOME GUY NAMED GOATFUKKER!

AND FOR ALL YOU WHO DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR PORT JERVIS, IRONHEAD RECORDS SHIPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PURCHASE DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO PUT ON PANTS OR INTERACT WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO JESSE AND THE FINE MANIAKS AT IRONHEAD RECORDS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE RITES!

NOW GO VISIT THE SHOP, CATCH SOME LIVE MUSIC, OR ORDER A PILE OF RECORDS AND EXPLAIN TO YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER WHY THE ELECTRIC BILL WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

☕💀 ATTENTION, YOU SLEEP DEPRIVED, PREMATURELY DECOMPOSING MANIAKS! 💀☕

HAVE YOU EVER WOKEN UP AFTER A NIGHT OF QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS, LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, AND REALIZED YOU'VE AGED APPROXIMATELY 37 YEARS IN THE SPAN OF EIGHT HOURS?

DO YOU REQUIRE THREE CUPS OF COFFEE JUST TO ACHIEVE THE LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS NECESSARY TO OPERATE A DOORKNOB?

WELL, WE HAVE SOME EXCELLENT NEWS FOR YOUR MISERABLE CARCASS.

FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, THE FINE FOLKS AT IMMORTAL CAFE ARE RETURNING TO WRETCHED RITES MMXXVI TO PROVIDE THE LIFE SUSTAINING BLACK LIQUID THAT PREVENTS THE MAJORITY OF YOU FROM BEING DECLARED LEGALLY DECEASED.

NOW, SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHEN THE DEMAND FOR CAFFEINE WAS SO HIGH THAT THEY RAN OUT OF COFFEE...

FORTUNATELY, IMMORTAL HAS STUDIED THE DISASTROUS COFFEE CONSUMPTION HABITS OF OUR ATTENDEES AND WILL BE RETURNING WITH MORE COFFEE AND A LONGER STAY THAN LAST YEAR.

WE CANNOT DISCLOSE EXACTLY HOW MUCH COFFEE THEY'RE BRINGING OR HOW LONG THEY'LL BE THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!

THE GREAT CAFFEINE FAMINE OF WRETCHED RITES MMXXV SHALL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS A NATIONAL TRAGEDY THAT MUST NEVER BE REPEATED!

AND IF YOU LIKE DEATHCORE, THEY CAN PROBABLY MAKE YOU SOM**HING WITH EXTRA MILK, SIX PUMPS OF VANILLA, AND A MOUNTAINN OF WHIPPED CREAM. WE UNDERSTAND THAT ACTUAL COFFEE MIGHT BE A BIT TOO INTENSE FOR YOU.

WHEN THEY AREN'T KEEPING OUR FESTIVAL ATTENDEES FROM COLLAPSING INTO HEAPS OF USELESS HUMAN MUSH, YOU CAN FIND IMMORTAL AT THEIR DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO LOCATION!

1111 H STREET, SUITE 102, SACRAMENTO, CA
