A Night of Pure Chaos – Behemoth and The Godless IV Tour in San Francisco

April 16, 2026

There are metal shows… and then there are nights like The Godless IV Tour when the intensity hits on another level entirely. When Behemoth brought their relentless force to The Regency Ballroom on April 15th, it wasn’t just a concert, it was a full-on assault that left the crowd stunned and exhilarated. The night kicked off strong with Immolation, who came in with incredible energy and absolutely shredded the stage. Their set leaned heavy into their older material while still showcasing tracks from their newer album and the crowd was loving every second of it. The mix of old and new hit perfectly, keeping the momentum high right from the start. Rotting Christ traveled all the way from Greece and brought a powerful, immersive presence that had the California crowd in awe. Their stage presence was intense and captivating, feeding off the crowd while giving that energy right back. From crushing riffs to thunderous drums, their set built into a full-blown frenzy, with a solid circle pit forming as the energy surged through the room. [Read More]

April 12, 2026

Fit For A King made a stop in Munich during their Lonely God tour. The show started pretty early at 6 pm, which was probably the reason that the venue wasn’t completely packed from the start. The Munich show was sold-out though and started to fill up over the first hour. Fit For A King chose an amazing line-up for their European show – Memphis May Fire, Acres and 156/Silence. A killer combo for an incredible Metalcore night.

The Swedish visionaries of Avatar returned to Munich last week. This time, they played a bigger venue, the Tonhalle, and managed to sell it out completely in advance! The atmosphere was, as always, loaded with anticipation, and the “citizens of Avatar country” were not disappointed. It was an energetic show that led through many albums of the band. Most of the songs, though, came from their recent record “Don’t Go In The Forest”, but they also played all-time favorites like “The Eagle Has Landed” and “Bloody Angel”. After almost two hours, they closed their set with two more fan favorites, “Smells Like A Freakshow” and “Hail the Apocalypse”. Here’s the complete set-list: Captain Goat Silence in the Age of Apes The Eagle Has Landed In the Airwaves Bloody Angel Death and Glitz Blod The Dirt I’m Buried In Colossus Torn Apart Howling at the Waves Glory to Our King Legend of the King Let It Burn Tonight We Must Be Warriors Encore: Don’t Go in the Forest Smells Like a Freakshow Hail the Apocalypse Of [Read More]

March 6, 2026

For a midweek show in San Francisco, Black Pistol Fire and Pink Fuzz absolutely delivered. The Independent was buzzing with energy on a Wednesday night. Pink Fuzz kicked off the show with fuzz-heavy rock and roll riffs that instantly got the crowd moving. The band features a brother and sister duo who traded off vocal duties while the drummer kept everything locked in tight, giving the set a gritty, raw energy that set the tone for the night. What can I say about Black Pistol Fire? They never disappoint. From the first time I saw them open for The Struts back in 2016 to catching them again at BottleRock, they always bring it and this show was no different. They delivered another epic, high-energy set packed with adrenaline. At one point they even jumped into the crowd, making sure everyone was just as amped as they were. Definitely a night that reminded me why I love seeing them live. I can’t wait to catch them again.
