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

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

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

Cannibal Corpse – Red Before Black
This 2017 offering, their 14th studio record, is everything one would expect (and then some) from these titans of Death Metal. While there is a certain consistency to Cannibal Corpse, namely, brutality – both musically and lyrically – a shift occurred when vocalist Chris Barnes left and George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher joined (1995). Another shift was … Continue reading Cannibal Corpse – Red Before Black
