Get Into The Pit And Rage!
As the situation regarding the Corona Virus continues to evolve it’s impacts are larger than public health and panic during a crisis. Shortages on bottled water and bulk size toilet paper as well as medical supplies such as masks for those who need them are only part of the impact this is having on our...
Metal Festival season is in full swing. Although it seems as of late that there is less of a season and more of a year-round celebration of brutality if you know where to look domestically and abroad. With that said, I wanted to highlight Border Assault 2020 as it is the first year that Rick...
Pre-Show Shenanigans After waking up from my post-show coma from seeing Nile the night before, I watched the movies that made us docu-series on Netflix and then proceeded to get ready to head out from Vegas. On the way my road trip partner and IÂ hit traffic from holiday Vegas visitors to people who simply...
Pre-Show Shenanigans I spent my morning grabbing some turkey day needs from Great Buns Bakery before heading home to munch on some fresh pastries and write to kill time before getting ready. Picking where to park was a debate. Taking a Lyft or Uber would cost just as much if not more than the $20+...
Pre-Show Shenanigans I could not contain my excitement while I was at my office. I was ecstatic to be meeting Amon Amarth in a mere matter of hours. My focus on other things was there but the 1.5 liter drinking horn I had purchased specifically for them to sign was sitting on my desk staring...
Festival Season is in full swing and, so I will once again be embarking on another journey to enjoy further carnage and brutality in Chicago (Berwyn), IL. Plane tickets have been purchased and hotel reservations have been made. It will be another 3 amazing days of hard hitting death metal. More music, more photos, more playlists,...
Pre-show Shenanigans I spent half the day sleeping off the road trip from Vegas the day before. Did some day job networking by meeting up with one of our regional operations managers for lunch at Mellow Mushroom. Their stout beer selection could use some work but the beer I had with a personal pizza hit...
Pre-show Shenanigans After a day full of non-stop napping to recover from Slayer, I made my way to my free hotel breakfast munching on bagels and chugging orange juice like it was nectar from the gods before settling down to sew more patches on my battle vest while watching Star Wars. Not too long after...
Pre-Show Shenanigans So many shows, so little time. So why let Vegas hog allllllll of my attention. February 2nd,2019 I took an invite to an out of town show in Arizona. After deciding to de-sleeve my Wolves In The Thrown Room tour T shirt, Implements of Hell guitarist Rick and I hopped in trusty Ernest...
Welcome back….my finger tips and eyeballs needed a little breather before continuing on. And so this raging review continues with Anthrax.  Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss! One of the bands that transformed the thrash metal world by bringing us albums like Spreading the Disease, State of Euphoria, Among the Living and Sound of White Noise. I highly recommend checking out one of...
