Grotesque Fest IV returns to Olympia, Washington on 13–14 November 2026. The two-day festival at The Mortuary (414 Franklin St. SE) runs from 4 pm to midnight each day, all ages, with a $20 day pass or $30 weekend pass. Organised by Craig Moore of Grim Earth, the bill draws from the Pacific Northwest heavy and metal underground. Friday 13 November features Across the Narrows — the new project of Brad Frye of Red Mesa and Desert Records — alongside Division Street, Warp Chamber and six more acts. Saturday 14 November brings Sorcia, Grim Earth, Lagoon, Ectopic Pregnancy and others. Twenty bands play across the weekend. Sorcia's official video for "Coffin Nails" gives a sense of the festival's heavy, doom-laden sound.
