I almost didn’t go to this show because I had some traumatic events happen earlier that day; I had to put my dog down only a few hours before the show and that really took a toll on my mood. But, the music has helped me through some tough times so now it was time … Continue reading We Came As Romans – Cold Like War Tour @ The Blind Tiger 3/30/18
These Boots Were Made For Moshing
I have a pair of black combat boots that I have been wearing for years. These boots have seen so many shows and mosh pits, and have met tons of bands and cool people. There are dents all in them, the leather is ripped off, and they have dirt that has been collected from the … Continue reading These Boots Were Made For Moshing
Knocked Loose – @ The Blind Tiger 3/1/18
I bought tickets to this show on a whim. It was the day before Spring Break and I had two tests. But it was a few days before my birthday, and I really wanted to see Knocked Loose. No surprise, here, that I bought tickets and decided to go to the show anyway. This was … Continue reading Knocked Loose – @ The Blind Tiger 3/1/18
Storytime with The Saw
This is a new series that I have created so I can write about my show experiences. I have been to a lot of shows in my lifetime and I have some great stories from many of them. My life is nothing but ordinary, so we all know that the stories I have are pure … Continue reading Storytime with The Saw
Traitors – Album Release Show @ The Drunk Horse Pub 2/20/18
I bought tickets for this show completely out of the blue. I was telling my dad about the band Traitors and we were listening to their music (seriously, this band goes hard! Look up the song, Nu Hate). So while we were listening to them my dad says, “You do know they are going to … Continue reading Traitors – Album Release Show @ The Drunk Horse Pub 2/20/18

What’s up guys! It’s your Master Butcher, The Saw, here, and I would like to welcome you to my Butcher Shop! This past week and a half, I have done some reconstruction of my show on WKNC’s Chainsaw Rock. I wanted to make it more like an actual show, and have a theme.

August Burns Red – The Phantom Anthem Tour @ Arizona Pete’s 2/10/18
This was my first metalcore show of 2018, and it didn’t disappoint me at all! The last time I saw August Burns Red was at the Carolina Rebellion two years ago! When I saw that they were coming back to North Carolina, I didn’t hesitate to get my ticket! This tour supported the release of … Continue reading August Burns Red – The Phantom Anthem Tour @ Arizona Pete’s 2/10/18
Of Mice & Men – Defy
Of Mice & Men formed in 2009 in Orange County, California. Originally, the band was a five-piece band; with Austin Carlile (vocalist), Aaron Pauley (bass/clean vocalist), Valentino Arteaga (drums), Phil Manansala (guitarist) and Alan Ashby (guitarist). Unfortunately, Carlile left the band in late 2016. He has been struggling with a long-term battle with Marfan Syndrome … Continue reading Of Mice & Men – Defy
Metal Problems
The life of a metalhead can be difficult sometimes. There are some things that we just struggle with, such as finding fellow metalheads, figuring out which band is your favorite, when you rust in the shower because you’re so metal, and clothing attire. Nothing bothers my OCD more than wearing all black but different shades … Continue reading Metal Problems
Wage War – Deadweight Part 2 Tour @ The Blind Tiger 12/12/17
So, I didn’t think I was going to go to this show because I had a Psychology exam the next day. But, I have no self-control and I caved in and went to the show anyway. I do not regret going to the show at all, and I also made an A on my Psychology … Continue reading Wage War – Deadweight Part 2 Tour @ The Blind Tiger 12/12/17
