The Black Dahlia Murder will tour with GOATWHORE, and melt your face.
I’m a day late and a dollar short, as usual. But anyway, the great Black Dahlia Murder will be terriozing the US once again, but this time, with GOATWHORE and Arkaik. OH! And wouldn’t you know, their first stop is Columbus, Ohio! I’ll be seeing you then metal heads. Here’s the list! 09/28 Columbus, OH [...]
Attention Uproar Tour Attendees! Venue Change to Nationwide Arena
SMNNews.com just reported that there is a venue change for Uproar Tour. It has now been moved to Nationwide Arena. I know the LC is a better venue, but at least you get to park in the same area. Your Welcome, Butters
Yippee Kay Yay, Motherfucker!!!
I’m sitting here watching the clock tick tock tick tock, excited like a little girl waiting for her birthday party… I love holiday weekends. I, myself, am headed up north a couple of hours as soon as my workday is through to spend the weekend with great friends and all our dogs haha… eating ridiculously [...]
OH SHIT! New Cynic headlining tour playing Focus in full. With a dash of Re-Traced.
Yes, you read that right. Cynic is headlining and playing Focus in full! That’s fucking amazing if I do say so myself, but I would prefer if they played Traced in Air. Speaking of Traced in Air, Cynic just release RE-Traced 2 days ago. Did you get that? Thought so. I gave it a good [...]
As I Lay Dying – The Powerless Rise
I credit As I Lay Dying with practically single-handedly pulling me back into metal. After college I went headfirst into my internship 40-50 hours a week and spent the rest of my time trying to make ends meet working morning shifts fulltime at Starbucks. I all but ignored new music in general, instead closing my [...]
Mastodon @ The National
Sunday night, my metal contemporary-and-friend Suzy and I approached the doors of The National in Richmond, VA. “Hi! I should be on the guestlist…?” Two texts, a phone call, a handing-of-my-phone-over-to-the-nice-smiling-chica-running-the-will-call-office-who-then-handed-the-phone-to-her-boss…. And we were in. (New town and a newer venue for me to frequent… you never know if it’s going to come through or [...]
Lame Fest 2009 oh wait, – I mean Rock on the Range 2009
Holy fucking shit. Got to say I’m less and less impressed with the music scene here in Columbus. Anyone else check out the lineup for “Rock on the Range”? Are you kidding? Who in their right mind is going to pay $40-$80 and stand for 2 days and listen to this stuff? Oh yeah that’s right 1/3 of Columbus will… They’ve been promoting the hell out of this show around here and it’s really damaging my calm.
“Oh Butters, calm down it’s not that bad.” No? If you have a brain and a pair of eyes you could probably guess the ONE name in the entire lineup I’d deem worth seeing (if you say Hinder, I will punch you in the baby-maker).
I’m reminded of some poetic words from Suicide Silence: “The creation that is sickness. This is time to destroy everything and never rebuild”. Reading down the list I half expected to see the Jonas Brothers. No, that would be too up-to-date for this show…maybe New Kids? (Now THERE’s a show. I would pay to see them open for ATR). But HEY…who am I to tell you NOT to go, I’m just some d-bag.
Hit the jump to see the full line up….. *blows brains out*
Lamb of God North American Tour!
So I’ve been slacking off on posting this, but I decided I couldn’t keep it in anymore. As you can tell by the title, you know what it’s about. Yes, you have read it correctly. Lamb of God is going back on the road. If you’re like me you are waiting for both their new [...]
