112: Behind The Metal with ACTUS REUS

ACTUS REUS, the up-and-coming metalcore titans hailing from the suburbs of north Atlanta, are continuing the evolution of metal’s “Next Wave” by blending thrash, death, and prog metal into their brutally heavy, metalcore foundation. Keep an eye out for them, because they’re already making HUGE waves on the local metal scene throughout Georgia and all across the Southeastern U.S.

Prepare to discover the future of metal biglyness, try not to worry too much about “the guilty act,” embrace the interdimensional, unifying power of “The Clinky” and JOIN US from our 33rd Floor I.U.B.P. Studios as Metal Nerdery goes “BEHIND THE METAL” with Georgia’s very own ACTUS REUS.
