MOLDER – THE QUARTET OF TERROR WILL PULVERIZE EVERYTHING INTO DUST AT OEF 2025!!! From the shadows of Joliet, Illinois, MOLDER emerged in 2017, unleashing a ferocious blend of Thrash and Death Metal that resonates with the raw power of the unholy. With their debut demo, "An Act of Revenge," they carved their name into the local scene, drawing in unsuspecting fans with their relentless energy and bone-crushing sound. As they honed their craft, MOLDER quickly transformed into a formidable force within the death metal underground, sharing the stage with titans like Exhumed, Autopsy, Jungle Rot, and Demolition Hammer. Their hard-earned reputation culminated in the release of their acclaimed debut full-length album, "Vanished Cadavers," in 2020, which sent shockwaves through the metal community and caught the attention of California's Prosthetic Records.

Rising from the depths, Molder unleashed their major label debut, "Engrossed In Decay," in 2022, propelling them into the spotlight and solidifying their status as a powerhouse in the genre. They’ve dominated stages across the U.S., leaving a trail of destruction at renowned festivals like Milwaukee Metal Fest, Volcanic Strike Hawaii, and Maryland Deathfest. Now, MOLDER is back with a vengeance! Teaming up once again with Prosthetic, they’re ready to unleash their latest massacre: "Catastrophic Reconfiguration," released in November 2024. This new offering promises to push the boundaries of brutality even further.

The band’s current lineup - Chicagoland mutants Aaren Pantke (guitars, vocals), Carlos Santini (guitar), Dominic Vaia (bass), and Kyle Pooley (drums) - represents the strongest iteration of Molder yet. This quartet of terror is primed to slice, dice, and deliver an unforgettable performance at OEF 2025. Get ready to be carved into "granulated chunks" as MOLDER takes the stage! Don’t miss this chance to witness the power of their relentless granulating mill firsthand! MOLDER!!!
