In Covert Tickets

In Covert is a Costa Mesa-based performer/band known for a dark, kinetic blend of deathrock, industrial metal, and post-punk. Formed in 2019 and solidified as a full band by 2023, the lineup features Wes Lopez, Kris Balocca, Oscar Ruvalcaba, and Victor Gutierrez. Their music draws on goth and industrial forebears like The Cure and Godflesh, with a modern twist influenced by the eerie resonance of X-Files-era soundscapes. Their 2025 debut album, Bleak Machinery, released on Dune Altar on May 9, 2025, showcases moody riffs, heavy rhythms, and haunting vocal textures that anchor their live performances. Secure your seats for upcoming shows and keep up with their evolving discography as they push further into the dark, immersive sound they’re building.
