With heavy guitars, dark electronics and big melodic hooks combining to create a live show built to make the room move, MMBD calls its world Disco Noir, bringing the intensity of a metal show into the atmosphere of an underground nightclub.

MMBD have toured the US with Powerman 5000 twice in 2026, either side of the June release of their debut album, ‘#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!’ (Metropolis Records). They also supported Genitorturers on a UK and Ireland tour in September.

MMBD has built its audience through sustained touring and direct connections with fans. Having played over 175 shows since 2024, the group have developed a reputation for transforming clubs into high-energy spectacles where industrial rock collides with nightclub culture. The same vision carries through into ‘#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!’, translating the band’s immersive live experience into songs designed to be felt as much as heard.

The November dates pair MMBD’s electronic pulse and theatrical energy with Primer 55’s heavy grooves. December brings the band back to the headline position for two nights centered on its own music and growing community.
