FESTIVAL REVIEW: Max Cavalera Dynasty Show ft. Soulfly – Nailbomb – Incite – Go Ahead and Die – Healing Magic – Jade Helm and More Live at The Marquee Theater

Posted on by

Nailbomb. NAILBOMB. It feels hard to believe that I got to see Nailbomb’s first show since 1995, but here we are. Max Cavalera is in at least six bands, has worked with at least a dozen more, and performed with three of those during the first-ever Max Cavalera Dynasty Show (MCDS) – Soulfly, Nailbomb, and Go Ahead and Die (GAAD). Max’s son, Igor, almost performed in three bands that night (Nailbomb, GAAD, Healing Magic), and Igor’s girlfriend Jackie Cruz performed in both GAAD and Jade Helm. Max’s other son, Richie, is the frontman for Incite, who also played. So, six Cavalera Dynasty bands, with four local bands opening the show – Six Million Dead, Shadow Guilt, Ocean Harvest, and Zherra.

Let’s get right into things.Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: Hiraes – Damnation Defaced Live at Logo

It was a hard choice – this show (only two bands, neither of which I knew) or Russian Circles plus a few other bands, with whom I was more familiar.  Something pulled me to this show even though, logistically, the other would have made more sense.  A small club, Logo was only a few minutes’ walk from my hotel room (which felt like a luxury).  Unassuming outside and in, Logo couldn’t have held more than 400 people, had a very low stage (with a pole front and center), and had some odd diagonal fixtures in the middle of the floor with stools.  But it was casual and reminded me of a few familiar clubs back home.Continue reading →


CONCERT REVIEW: Gaerea – Spectral Wound – Afsky – Naxen Live at UT Connewitz

I was not supposed to be at this show. I was in Germany for Wacken but the rain had other ideas. As I scrambled to figure out new plans, I searched concerts happening across Germany and came across this one, so I rented a car and hit the Autobahn for the 4.5-hour journey from Hemmingstedt to the UT Connewitz in Leipzig. The venue which felt like an underground concrete bomb shelter, was slow to fill with fans. Shortly before the opening act came on, the fog began to fill the stage, and it continued to fill the concrete bunker we were in.Continue reading →
