First and foremost, on the album there are no “filler” songs. All of the songs are bangers and were … Continue reading The Saw’s 10/10 Albums

Shut Up & Mosh: Moshing 101
What’s up Butcher Crew! So, I have been to a handful of shows this summer, and I have realized something... Some people have no idea what they are doing in a mosh pit. There are different types of pits depending on the genre. For example: Metalcore has push pits/circle pits, and deathcore and hardcore have … Continue reading Shut Up & Mosh: Moshing 101

Suicide Silence – The Cleansing 10 Year Tour @ The Blind Tiger 12/8/17

Metalcore, Deathcore, and Death Metal. Is it all the same?
“Isn’t metal music all the same?” I receive this question every day when I tell people the different subgenres of metal I play on WKNC (if you didn’t know, I DJ on Friday nights from 10pm-midnight). I explain to people the three main subgenres that I play; Metalcore, Deathcore, and Death metal. Since I listen … Continue reading Metalcore, Deathcore, and Death Metal. Is it all the same?
