Like Moths to Flames ignite the crowd at Ace of Spades on the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour

November 29, 2014

Like Moths to Flames is one band that I have been waiting to catch live and last night, they lived up to and exceeded every expectation I had. These guys have such intense passion that shines right through their hardcore music. You can’t stand still as their energy charges the venue and ignites the crowd into a mosh/circle pit frenzy amid the continuous crowd surfing fans. The Monster Energy Outbreak made a well deserved stop in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades and it was a night full of kick ass music. What was really special about the night was that each band had a great turnout of dedicated fans and you could definitely see that Like Moths to Flames had a really strong fanbase. It seemed that everywhere I turned, I could see fans proudly wearing their LMTF shirts and merch. It is great to see the fans continuing to support their favorite bands and for getting out to a live show. It was a packed house and another sold out show. Check out [Read More]

Sworn In delivers a KICK ASS set on the Monster Energy Outbreak Rock Tour

November 29, 2014

We were glad we braved the 4 hour traffic filled trek to Sacramento last night to catch the Monster Energy Outbreak Rock Tour. After sitting in traffic for so long, it was great to arrive at the Ace of Spades for a night of heavy music to release all that pent up frustration! The night started right off with a fierce set by Sworn In from Chicago. Holy shit, these guys blew us away! This was the first time I heard of Sworn In and after just a few minutes of hitting the stage, I was converted from a newbie to an absolute die-hard lover. I am bummed that it has taken me so long to find out about this band, but I am now grateful. They have a ferociously heavy sound that brought the crowd to peak levels within minutes of starting. I am not going to do them the injustice of trying to describe them as a certain genre or sub-genre, they are just pure energy heavy rock with metal influences that you [Read More]

I have some exciting news to share. Apollo Under Fire is the new acoustic project from Peter Klett of Candlebox, Donald Carpenter of Eye Empire & Submersed and Tom Constanza. They have announced they will be releasing their new album in Spring of 2015. Apollo Under Fire have been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the album after recording at the Lala Mansion Recording Studio. To get you excited, check out the following trailer for Wings from the new album: I am really looking forward to the new album and how Apollo Under Fire truly captures raw emotion in their music and transfers it to the listener as a comforting blanket of reassurance and hope.

They are planning on some acoustic shows so make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. We will see [Read More]

Concert Review William Control – Munich, Backstage/Werk, 11/24/2014, Contributed by Alexandra

November 26, 2014

Contributed by Alexandra Going through concert announcements a few weeks ago, I spotted William Control playing in Munich. Unfortunately not a headliner tour, but some acts you just need to see live any opportunity you can get. It was William Control’s first time in Germany with this project. Last time was seven years ago with Aiden. That evening he opened for Combichrist. As it is common in Munich and probably some others places too, the room’s not really crowded, when the opening act gets on stage. I couldn’t say how many people really heard of William Control before. If they’d known more about him, there definitely would’ve been more people at the beginning of his show. He started the set with ‘All due restraint’ from the 2010 released album ‘Noir’. Throughout the show he played songs from all his albums ‘Novus Ordo seclorum’, ‘Hate culture’ and ‘Neuromancer’. William was constantly moving around on stage, throwing and catching his mic or circling it around his neck. No standstill whatsoever. It’s fun to watch and the [Read More]
