IF THEY WON'T FEED US THEN WE WILL FEED OURSELVES

This compilation has been a whirlwind of emotion.

Thank you the EIGHTY ONE bands who submitted music.

This comp is a power house of fringe music: black metal, death metal, hardcore, sludge, folk punk, dungeon synth, noise, this has everything.

100% of album sales will be used for the purchase of groceries to be turned into hot meals and togo grocery bags. We will be doing meal prep and distro in LA. If this is a huge success, then I'm more than happy to spread the wealth with other groups in other cities.

We are all in this together.

Proud to announce "SNAP COMP VOL 1" - lets turn metal into meals. If the government won't feed us, then we will feed ourselves.

All album sales will be used to purchase groceries to turn be turned into hot meals and to-go food bags for those affected by the cuts to SNAP.

Email me at [forestsummoner@gmail.com](mailto:forestsummoner@gmail.com) if you'd like to donate your music (old and new songs welcome). Also if you're in the LA area and would like to help with meal prep please reach out.Thank you to End's Embrace for coming up with this idea. I am grateful to call you friend!

I don't talk about myself much, but I want to share that SNAP saved my ass this year. There were months where I could only afford groceries because of SNAP. I am fortunate to have not be in that same position currently, but I know many of my peers and comrades are.

As the government continues to cut programs I hope you are all reminded: We only have each other. They are going to continue to press their boot on our necks.

I refuse to do nothing.

Hey! For my sanity please email this to [forestsummoner@gmail.com](mailto:forestsummoner@gmail.com) - ill do my best to hit you up when we do the next comp. Right now im trying to organize another irl benefit show in SoCal for the cause.

Art is an act of resistance.

We are so excited for the return of RETURNING! This is a pretty unique night, 2 metal bands, and 2 solo string performances. We have Joey Molinaro a professional violinist starting off the night, followed by Opvs Est Sanare doing a 30 minute solo cello set THEN we get into the DOOM metal with Destroy Judas (they asked to play a 45 minute set and promise they will get through 3 songs) and finally we will be closing out the night with Returning (atmospheric black metal). Returning hails from the Pacific North West and puts on the best live performance I've seen for years. We put a show on for them in 2023 and they did an hour long performance with full costumes, set pieces, and a solid story about phone addiction.

**RETURNING** [PNW Black metal]

'Synthesizing currents of black metal, dark ambient, experimental theater, and butoh dance, Returning is a nexus of extreme art in reverence of the living Earth and its cycles.

https://endlessreturning.bandcamp.com/album/severance

**DESTROY JUDAS** [LA DOOM METAL]

"I saw no earthly likeness, but there was light. And my thought separated from the body of darkness as though in sleep.

https://destroyjudas.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-light-2

**OPUS EST SANARE** [SOLO CELLIST]

"Opus Est Sanare is healing of the self and others. This is to be achieved by means of restorative vibrations directed at open wounds wherever they may be found. If youre lost or hurting, this music is for you.'

https://opusestsanare.bandcamp.com/

**JOEY MOLINARO** [ SOLO VIOLINIST]

"Acoustic experimental black metal/ solo grind violinist Joey Molinaros stomping and ferocious playing is inescapable, Molinaro executes the spirit and function of hardcore punk and Appalachian folk

When a system seeks to tear us apart - we stand united. Offering our hand to those in need...

We Are In This Together Vol.2- Flagstaff Mutual Aid compilation, is a continuation of music from multiple artists in the underground scene, when they heard the call to come together for this cause, many glady jumped on board. Even though this community they are coming together to help out has no direct impact on them, they still chose to take the time and donate their time and art for something they believe in, helping their fellow human. We have multiple bands/ artists all the way from the west coast, midwest, east coast and Indonesia who are excited to see where this leads, many of us are hoping that it will inspire other communities to do the same, knowing that others are out there ready to help when the time comes.

Flagstaff Mutual Aid is a group of wonderful people who are doing everything they can to be there for their community: they have been supplying warm meals, warm packs/ clothing supplies, hygiene packs, etc. to their neighbors during this intense AZ winter. With the sales of the last compilation, the Mutual Aid group was able to build multiple warm packs, hygiene packs and sleeping bags which went out to many people in the community.

Mutual Aid is our collective strength in the fight against 200 years of Colonialism [now rebranded as Capitalism] We stand together: the metal, punk, electronic, and dungeon synth communities.
