Nail Bite is known as an avant-garde metal band that often features a wide range of other genres like trap, dubstep, pop, and more in their music alongside heavy metal. The band has stood out with their unique influences and bold genre experimentation while staying true to their brutally heavy breakdowns and metal sound.

What is Fallout Cascadia?

Fallout Cascadia is an “upcoming and expansive conversion” for Fallout 4 that takes you to King County, Washington (including the ruins of Seattle) and brings back familiar factions like the NCR while introducing new factions like the Republic of Cascadia and their enemies, the Red Leafs.

Fallout Cascadia is a massive and detailed expansion that adds a wide area of new locations to explore, including swamps, looming mountains, and ash-ridden locations forever damaged by the eruption of a volcano. The game brings back mechanics like enhanced dialogue systems, returning perks and skills, and older systems like ammo swapping and repairing gear. Cascadia even allows for background story selection that allows for unique dialogue choices and traits.

Fallout Cascadia expands hugely upon the current state of Fallout 4, tweaking many systems while also adding an enormous amount of new content to experience—its been previously stated that Cascadia will feature twice the amount of content as Fallout 4!

When will Fallout Cascadia be released?

Fallout Cascadia does not have an official public release date yet, but the developers plan to announce it as soon as they have a chosen date for the game to release.

More about Nail Bite

From Nail Bite’s Biography:

“The members of Nail Bite are made up of 2 families, John and Johnnie (Father/Son) and Lonna and Caiden (Sister/Brother). The 4 members all met at the Bitting family’s mixed martial arts studio at the time, Dragon MMA Academy, which was a nationally-winning competitive studio in which Johnnie won 21 international and 38 national championships.

As the COVID-19 Pandemic went into full force, martial arts competitions came to a halt, and Johnnie decided to turn his attention from the martial arts stage to music instead, and in January 2020, Nail Bite was formed. After creating the first two singles, “Anxious” and “Free Your Mind”, Lonna, Caiden, and John were introduced into the band.

In January 2021, Nail Bite released their debut album “Mammoth of the Great Sea,” which introduced a raw, self-produced sound that drew parallels to black metal and death metal. In September of the same year, Nail Bite made their way to Virginia’s Blue Ridge Rock Festival, which over 160,000 people attended that year. The festival was Nail Bite’s first music festival and their 3rd ever show, and it introduced the Pennsylvania act to a wide audience that helped jumpstart their early career.

By December of 2021, Nail Bite unleashed their 2nd album “Lost Travelers” which features one of the band’s breakthrough songs, “Disengage”. With 2022 came more incredible opportunities as Nail Bite appeared on Danny Wimmer Presents “Space Zebra Charts” for 36 weeks, maintaining the #1 spot for 19 weeks. In lieu of the band’s success on the show, Nail Bite was added to that year’s Louder Than Life and Inkarceration Festivals which both have a combined attendance of over 250,000 people. Nail Bite also played as direct support for Bad Omens at the 1 year anniversary show of the DWPresents Twitch show. Following their festival performances that year, Nail Bite was named “Chart Kings”, “Live Band of the Year” and “Top Unsigned Band” by DWPresents, starting the band’s ascent to becoming one of the fastest growing unsigned metal bands.

After 2021’s “Lost Travelers”, Nail Bite released 6 singles leading up to their February 2023 album, “Welcome to Partyland” with swing metal track “Little Friend of Mine” gathering significant attention. In 2023, Nail Bite played Louder than Life festival once again, alongside acts like Foo Fighters, Slipknot, Pantera, and more as they continued to bring their sound to the main stages.

After 2023’s album “Welcome to Partyland”, Nail Bite has released 7 singles with plans to release their upcoming album by the end of 2024. With 2024 came huge performances like Michigan Metal Fest—amongst others—that went completely viral, gaining millions of views and drawing in tens of thousands of new followers.

In January of 2025, Nail Bite released their newest album, “Nostalgia”. The 13-track release marks the most innovative chapter of the band’s discography to date—tracks like “Shimmer”, “Nostalgia”, and “Endless” explore further into addictive vocal melodies and a softer sound that slowly builds into harsh breakdowns, while songs like “Rock Bottom”, “You Know Who You Are”, and “Silly” showcase a crushingly heavy sound from the very first moment.

2025 ushers in a new era for Nail Bite as they continue to amass an exponentially growing fan base on social media and solidify their place as one of the biggest independent metal acts in the country.”
