Despite an ungodly early 5:30 doors Belgium Death/Trash collective Schizophrenia are met with a packed room as the Manchester crowd swarm Victoria Warehouse for a night of promised chaos. The thrashy death onslaught that Schizophrenia produce is a pummeling start to the evening for sure, perfect for ridding the lingering aches of a long work week with plenty of fist pumping and head banging.Continue reading

CONCERT REVIEW: Powerwolf – Unleash The Archers Live at Brooklyn Paramount
A night of power metal besieged Brooklyn Paramount, a palace of a venue located in bustling downtown Brooklyn. Long before 7:00 p.m. doors, a line of people stretched down Flatbush Ave with this the destination of their unholy pilgrimage. Once inside the venue, the baroque ornamentation immediately towers over you. Reminiscent of an opera hall, it lent itself well to the winding, fantastical riffs so common in the genre.Continue reading
CONCERT REVIEW: Better Lovers – seeyouspacecowboy – Foreign Hands – Greyhaven Live at El Corazon

01/6/23, St Vitus, Brooklyn NY
If you’re unfamiliar with Sunrot, you need to change that! Holy shit! This in-your-face, power sludge\crust band filled the stage and kicked off the three-band bill right with immediate and intense energy and the best kind of noise.
CONCERT REVIEW: Kilter Performs William Berger’s “La Suspendida” Live at Culture Lab
If someone said let’s see a Jazz Metal Opera. I’d look confused for a second then I would be all in. That’s exactly what happened when I saw La Suspendida, “The Suspended Woman,” in Long Island City New York at The Phaxall Gallery’s Culture Lab for a three-night residency. It’s an innovative Opera that combines the best of Jazz and Metal music. This groundbreaking concert combines three seemingly different genres into a unique and dynamic sound that will be sure to wow audiences. The drama is based on a notorious incident in history where a doctor’s obsession with a young patient of his was so great that he kept her body as his lover after her untimely death.
CONCERT REVIEW: Soen – Oceans of Slumber Live at Lincoln Hall
Chicago is renowned for being home to some of the country’s most acclaimed concert venues. Lincoln Hall resides just north of downtown and has been voted as one of the best spots for live music in the city by sites like Yelp and Foursquare. The owners of Schubas Tavern opened their second location in 2009 in a hundred-year-old building and have been hosting transcendent live appearances since. Soen picked well to make this their Midwest stop on their one-month-long North American tour.
