Okay, I’m not gonna lie, when I saw this lineup, I screamed. You have Left Behind, Traitors, Spite, The Acacia Strain, AND Chelsea Grin all on one bill?? ICONIC. This show sold out the day of the show and the Blind Tiger was packed with people. I went to this show with two of my … Continue reading Eternal Nightmare Tour Part II @ The Blind Tiger 11/22/19
Tool @ PNC Arena 11/24/2019
A week or so ago, my mom and I went to see Tool! My mom has seen Tool many times, but this was my first time seeing them live.

Everything is Bigger in Texas
Chuck Norris isn’t the only reason you don’t mess with Texas. Some of the best metal bands have came from Texas and holy shit… they all go hard. The scene here is very unique because these bands have a distinct Texan sound that no other bands have. The riffs go hard and the breakdowns go … Continue reading Everything is Bigger in Texas
Band of the Week: Knocked Loose
Knocked Loose is easily one of my favorite bands because of their energy both on record and live. They have a distinct sound that anyone can recognize (mainly Bryan Garris’ voice), but also their heavy hitting riffs.

Band of the Week: Six Feet Under
If you know me, then you know I love me some Six Feet Under.

I love the slow, groovy riffs and the absolute power of … Continue reading Band of the Week: Six Feet Under
Classic Album Review: Guns N’ Roses: Appetite For Destruction
Released on July 21, 1987, Appetite for Destruction (Geffen Records) hardly even raised an eyebrow.

The single, “Welcome to the … Continue reading Classic Album Review: Guns N’ Roses: Appetite For Destruction

Ahh, this band…. After The Burial (ATB) is one of my favorite Djent bands. Their overall sound is technical and melodic. The vocals are strong and passionate. Overall 10/10 band.

Metal Songs to Study to
It’s almost that time of the year… exam season!! I know exams can be stressful, but metal makes everything better. It is hard for me to study without music (because I am a sleepy girl), and it’s hard to study with music sometimes because I just wanna dance and headbang. I have a handful of … Continue reading Metal Songs to Study to
