Mismanage started as a band out of Perryville, Arkansas. As we moved forward into the Central Arkansas metal scene. We eventually had a single shirt design we sold at our shows and we sold out of them pretty quick. Fast Forward to 2021. We have a redesign of our branding sporting the double diamond logo and a whole new line of merch. But, If you have been with us for the long haul and want one of our O.G. shirts we still have them available to purchase in our store alongside all of our new designs. We appreciate our fans so much and can't say thank you enough for all of your love and support through the years.

From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you all so much!

Morbid Visionz is a 5 piece Death Metal band hailing from Little Rock, AR comprised of Evan Grove (Vocals) Josh Delack (Guitar) Ted Gilliam (Bass) Johnathan Shalmy (Drums) and Andrew Sorrows (Guitar). Taking influence from bands like Sepultura, Entombed, Bolt Thrower, and Morbid Angel you’ll find yourself being submersed in everything you’d expect and maybe even more in a death metal band. From fast grinding riffs to skull pounding and groovy breakdowns Morbid Visionz delivers it all with the guitar tones to back it up. From their first show playing on Little Rock’s premier metal fest “Mutants of the Monster” with bands to the caliber of Weedeater, Yautja, Pallbearer, and Living Sacrifice to playing a living room with New Orleans very own BRAT the band stops the energy at nothing and every set is sure to leave the viewers with a sore neck the next day. 

We were dedicated to our craft as musicians, we wanted to create something outside the box of genre that allowed unlimited artistic expression, and we wanted to have a real connection within the band and with everyone who listens to our music. So with our combined talent, knowledge, resources, connections, triumphs, and failures we created Munkythumb. As individuals we have played nation wide, opened for multi platinum selling bands, and gained lifelong fans of the music we played but, as Munkythumb we will do much more. Our music is high energy, heavy, melodic, and dynamic. Lyrics are thought provoking, relatable, and real. The vocals combine singing, screaming, technical harmonies, and draw from a deep well of emotions. We are dedicated fully to performing as professionals and delivering a captivating, all thrills no fills set for our audiences.

Munkythumb is:
Jason Parish - vocals, guitar
Walter (Cholo) Franklin - drums
Dave Bearden - bass, vocals
Dillon Davis - lead guitar
