HUSHED Leads a Massive Night of Vancouver Heavy Music at Green Auto on June 12
VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver’s underground heavy music scene continues to thrive as The Invisible Orange presents an outstanding lineup featuring BALKAN, OMNIA NIHIL, JISEI, and HUSHED on Friday, June 12, 2026, at the East Vancouver DIY venue Green Auto.
While every band on this bill brings something unique and powerful to the stage, the band to watch is HUSHED, who kick off the evening at 7:00 PM sharp.
Get There Early for HUSHED
Too often, concertgoers arrive late and miss one of the strongest performances of the night. That would be a mistake here.
Vancouver’s HUSHED have quietly become one of the city’s most compelling doom-sludge acts. Combining massive riffs, crushing low-end, and a thick atmospheric sound, the band delivers a live experience that is equal parts heavy, hypnotic, and memorable. Their music embodies everything fans love about sludge and doom metal while maintaining a distinctly Vancouver identity.
For fans of bands like Crowbar, Eyehategod, and YOB, HUSHED’s set should be mandatory viewing.
