Huntress proved to be a crowd favorite at Regency Ballroom in San Francisco

November 12, 2014

We were in San Francisco on Monday night and braved the traffic to arrive early and catch all the bands featured on the Arch Enemy Tour which included killer sets from Kreator, Huntress and Starkill. I must say, I was most excited to see Huntress since I have never been able to see them live but have heard so many great things about them. Sure enough, as we were outside in line chatting with the fans so many told us how they were excited to see Huntress again.  They shared details about their favorite songs and their excitement poured out with every story. One thing in common with all of them, was that Huntress always put on a MUST SEE SHOW! When Huntress hit the stage, I immediately understood everything the fans were talking about. They were absolutely amazing and put on one of the best solid sets in heavy metal out today. They have a very unique sound that blends early heavy metal with hints of seventies vibe and classic thrash that grabs a hold [Read More]

Portland rockers, Red Fang have released their music video for the third single off their album, Whales and Leeches which was released through Relapse Records. The song is Crows In Swine and it features an animated video with a creative barbarian concept where each member came up with their own secret weapon.  The band teamed up with renowned animator Adam Avilla to direct it. “I am blown away by the video Adam made for us,” says RED FANG guitarist/vocalist BRYAN GILES.  “It’s brutally cute. I wish I was as cool as the character I am in it in real life.  Recliners, sausage, guitars and kittens!!” Red Fang are gearing up to set out out on the “Communion of Sirens” tour with Opeth and In Flames this winter.

ARCH ENEMY perfom a mind blowing set at Regency Ballroom in San Francisco

November 12, 2014

ARCH ENEMY are currently in the midst of their North American tour and we were so glad to see them make a stop in San Francisco earlier this week. They performed to a packed crowd at The Regency Ballroom. It was an absolute mindblowing set that will satisfy your every need for metal. They destroyed the venue as the energy was raised well beyond the roof and couldn’t be contained.  Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz has such a commanding stage presence that you couldn’t keep your eyes off her as she tore up the stage and insured that everyone was giving their 150% of pure metal bliss! It was fierce and the sound was spot on. The guitars from Michael and Nick sounded so bad ass, they just infected your soul with metal and you were immediately under their spell. The magic between the two is spectacular to watch. You can’t help but have the sound intensified with the precision drumming of Daniel and of course Sharlee, a beast on the bass. Together their sound is tight and [Read More]
