ACTUS REUS, the up-and-coming metalcore titans hailing from the suburbs of north Atlanta, are continuing the evolution of metal’s “Next Wave” by blending thrash, death, and prog metal into their brutally heavy, metalcore foundation. Keep an eye out for them, because they’re already making HUGE waves on the local metal scene throughout Georgia and all across the Southeastern U.S.
