A Farewell to the Carolina Rebellion
It was announced a few months ago that there would be no more Carolina Rebellion. But have no fear, there will be another metal festival to take its place this May in Rockingham, NC called Epicenter.

I Took My Friends to Their First Metal Show!
We all know that I go to shows ALL the time, and I usually go with my OG squad (what’s up Josh, Kevin, Ellie, Courtney, and Nate!?).

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of seeing the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. My parents and I took a road trip to Bristow, Virginia for the show.
