All homies event!!! WarClown mantis got to play with them when we were first started out hung out together with and without a music setting supported us from day 1!! Autumn Lies Buried some of the greatest guys we have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with from our first single 'here comes the swarm' we have known these guys played the warehouse in Clarksville TN one of our first out of town shows!! Do Yourself In big home town homie energy another day 1 supporter of the swarm hardcore legends know what we are about and know how to bring energy to every show!!! Once more again we have had the honor to watch their first show at brickyard at the very first metal chaos started the fest off very strong and could ask for a better group of young blood to open this show!! This line up i feel truly encompasses Quiescent Mantis Official life on the stage and off yes we have all played a lot of shows together but I also talk to these off the stage too hard times struggles mental exhaustion and burn outs to parties and sleepless nights these are my brother's for sure and I really think if mantis doesn't live on after this the scene will be in good hands with these bands ill be there every step too if anybody in the scene needs me connections, shows, venues, or even just to talk whether its hard times or a riff you can't figure out hit me up I'll do my best to jump in and help what ever way I can! Just remember 865 til I die!!
