Have you ever been to a haunted tattoo rock festival? Clearly, this is an event you do not want to miss! It’s a fest you will remember for a lifetime, believe us. Literally held within the walls of the Historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival is coming back in […]
When it comes to new metal, I am rarely, if ever, impressed. I can’t speak for every single band out there, but I often feel so bored with the repetition. Most of the time, it seems like they are just trying to copy what has already been done, or their aggression feels empty, almost staged. […]
When life happens and all hell breaks loose, one would say there is no other choice but to keep moving forward. There is someone we need to thank for giving us the inspiration to never give up — and his name is Dallas Taylor. You might know him as the former vocalist and founder of […]
Here we go, female-fronted heavy metal band Kill The Sound from Orlando, Florida is rising and delivering some of the darkest, and brutal metal. I was scouring the web and fell upon this metal collective and was amazed to see a powerhouse female dominated group. The band’s relentless push into this maddening metal industry has […]
Metalcore is one of the most common subgenres of heavy metal and it’s arguably the most popular. Combining the best elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, metalcore is brimming with aggressive breakdowns and mosh inducing hooks. Advents, a rising metalcore band from the outskirts of NYC are working tirelessly to ensure they bring innovation […]
Blue Ridge Rock Festival is FINALLY only mere days away! If you know me or have read any of my articles (not even related to Blue Ridge) every other word out of my mouth since last year is “Blue Ridge”! Last year’s fest was one of the best weeks of my life and I’ve been […]
The third and final day of Outbreak Fest was the attendee-proclaimed “Cali Day” of the festival. Seven of the bands — roughly a third of the artists to take the stage that day — originated from California. Of the seven California-based bands, three of them — Ceremony, Deafheaven and Touché Amoré — played the final […]
Day Two of Outbreak Fest was an emotional rollercoaster. In order to fully understand the energy contained inside the Bowlers Exhibition Center on the morning of the second day, it needs to be known that the news of the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade had broken the day prior. As it turns […]
Excitement was high for the 10 Year Anniversary celebration of Outbreak Fest! Fans flocked to Bowlers Exhibition Center in Manchester to experience the largest hardcore music festival in the United Kingdom. It was a repeated sentiment that this particular edition of the festival was one worth coming out for. Not only was this a massive […]
When our bands are playing in Vegas, it’s a mother/daughter road trip! Anthrax, Black Label Society and Hatebreed rolled into The Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq Promenade on the Vegas Strip on July 28th — this is our new favorite venue! You can grub while knockin’ down a few pins and enjoy a concert all at the […]
Wouldn’t it be awesome to have seen bands like Metallica, Ozzy or Megadeth when they were first starting out? Can you imagine seeing them in a venue, where they are hanging out at the merch table, you get to meet them, buy one of their first tour shirts and get a photo with them? That’s […]
The west coast’s biggest rock festival, Aftershock, is returning to Discovery Park this October 6th through 9th! And, 2022 is aiming to be the biggest edition of the festival yet by expanding to four days, adding a fourth stage and featuring over 90 bands! After last year’s attendance of 145,000, this year is looking to […]
No better way to end a tour than a Taco Metal Party at Affliction HQ! The PCH Rage Tour included bands Bastardane and OTTTO, who are just on the brink of breaking through. Affliction HQ is Sirius XM’s Jose ‘Metal Ambassador’ Mangin’s home away from home and we were honored to be a part of […]
It’s been quite a while since I have been to a show that was predominantly heavy… my last experience being Opeth last year at Ryman Auditorium. It’s not as if I don’t enjoy the genre, but as I get older, I find my body simply cannot handle the head-banging and moshing as much as it […]
Wage War played for an energetic crowd at the House of Blues Cleveland. Opening bands were fellow hard rock bands While She Sleeps, Gideon and Chamber. It was a head-banging, crowd-surfing kind of night and Ohio couldn’t be happier about it. Wage War just got off a big tour with Slipknot and they’re not slowing […]
