Norma Jean’s next Boston-area show is October 4, 2026 at The Palladium Upstairs.
Norma Jean are a Georgia mathcore and metalcore band with a punishing, unpredictable sound that helped define 2000s heavy music. Their debut Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child is still a touchstone for its chaotic riffing and screamed vocals. Vocalist Cory Brandan is the band's creative anchor, and they remain a physically intense live act.
