HAVOK with Hellripper, Slackjaw and Xoth

HAVOK play Warehouse Live Midtown on Wednesday, November 4, as part of their Havok North America 2026 tour. They're not coming alone: Hellripper, Slackjaw, and Xoth are all on the bill, so it's a full night of metal rather than a single act. The show starts at 6 PM at 2600 Travis St, in the Midtown area of Houston.

If you're not familiar with them, HAVOK is a thrash metal band that formed in Denver, Colorado, back in 2004. They've spent over two decades working within that thrash framework, and they describe their sound as drawing from hard rock, death metal, heavy metal, hardcore punk, and old-school thrash metal. That's a wide net to cast, and it explains why their music can lean into different directions—one moment it's the speed and aggression of thrash, the next it's the heavier weight of death metal or the raw energy of hardcore punk. It's a thrash band that doesn't stay in one lane.

With Hellripper, Slackjaw, and Xoth filling out the rest of the lineup, the night stays in the same general neighborhood. You'll get several bands on one bill, and the whole thing kicks off at 6 PM. Tickets run from $25 to $200, depending on what you're looking for. The venue is Warehouse Live Midtown, over at 2600 Travis St, so you've got the full address if you're planning your trip.
