I love that every couple of years. Baroness does a small venue tour, it feels more connected to their base, and there is nothing better than seeing one of your favorite bands in an intimate room, singing along with a packed crowd. If you were a fan of early Baroness, this was your tour to see them play both Red and Blue Album (both released on Release Records) front to back. Many songs and interludes have never been performed live before.
It was a perfect Saturday date night in Athens on May 24th to watch and capture UK’s Prog Metal artist DVNE alongside Greek band Allochiria opening up the show at Gazarte Music Venue.Continue reading
Unholy Trinity is the title given to this travelling circus of some very impressive Black Metal bands. With a line-up of Rotting Christ, Satyricon, and Behemoth, and a meme-able price tag of 66,60 euros, we’re in for a treat. Tonight they raze the 013 in Tilburg.
There’s no such thing as monsters, but there is Wednesday 13, and he has been touring the US, bringing his brand of Horror Metal to a city near you. On, of all days, Good Friday, he brought his show to The Gramercy Theater in NYC, and it was worth skipping mass for. Go ask for forgiveness tomorrow. Continue reading
Making my way to Oakland via the BART, I was super excited to return to the Fox Theater for a night of metal. Heading out extra early, not wanting to miss any of the Bands, I met up with my bro and one of our best West Coast correspondence Pags ,I hadn’t seen in a year and a half in person, and I am so glad we got to reconnect and hang before the big night. Picking up our credentials was a breeze, and I’m always appreciative of the fantastic staff at The Fox.Continue reading
Disturbed celebrated their 25th anniversary of The Sickness (Warner Music) album on tour at TD Garden on March 14th. The tour has not been without controversy after the alleged pyro accident at The United Center for the band’s hometown stop on this tour. Did they burn the banners, or not? No one is sure.

I rolled into the city of sin with my homie and bandmate in Angst, Abe Allen, for a cool quick trip to see the first night of the big Danzig tour! I was seriously hyped for this tour and glad to catch it since these dates are few and Glenn doesn’t like to tour much anymore. I was really excited to take this trip for four bands I have loved for a long time. Thanks for making this happen, Abe!Continue reading
It was a blistering cold night in New England as Slayer guitarist and co-founder Kerry King unleashed a hellish sonic assault upon the small Boston nightclub, The Royale for his first North American Headline Tour. King’s band is made up of metal legends that include Mark Osegueda of Death Angel on vocals, former Vio-lence and Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel, Hellyeah bassist Kyle Sanders, and Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph.
This evening I was picked up by my good friend Danny as we headed down the finally thawing streets of St. Louis, MO en route to Red Flag, the pre-eminent club to see some serious death metal in St. Louis.Continue reading
