This Friday, Hardcore Stadium in Harvard Square is the only place to face what your ears fear, as Boston Hassle presents Scorched Ear 3. Those who dare to venture to their decibel-induced doom will contend with six of New England’s harshest acts in a test of auditory endurance not to pass up!

Upheaval‘s black metal sludge mayhem will turn our ears into the contents of their Altar of Ash. The sonic train ride into hellfire continues on, stopping at a certain donut shop to let on Providence grindcore trio Moisturizer, who will crush One Dozen Donuts of manic fury faster than you can say earplugs. Then as Mugcophagus starts to surge, the heft of their death metal will reduce even the iron colossus to a mere pile of funnel cake. Sweet deal! That scrap of carnival food will be over before it even has a chance to begin ’cause crustpunks Armpits are coming too, and they aren’t ones to back down from a Food Fight.

What’s that? Scheduling conflict with “some kind of a vacation” this Friday? Change your mind to Scorched Ear 3 ’cause we have a Porno Portal To Florida for that too! You’re good; you won’t likely cover as much ground wherever you would have otherwise gone than this two-piece does with their experimental metal breadth. While you’re there, don’t forget to see Ivory Glass Towers, whose dystopian industrial atmospherics may induce closed-eye visuals of a walk through a digital desert.

Huh? On the fence cause you don’t want your ears to ring? Got it! Free ear plugs will be provided without shame cause we’re realistic about being able to hear it again at Scorched Ear 4…………..5, 6, and 7 too, but you get the idea.

Scorched Ear 3 it is then!
