Last weekend, I once again had the chance to catch a show at my favorite venue, the Backstage in Munich. This time it was in the Halle, the medium-sized club on the areal. The show has long been announced and in the end sold out. Three female-fronted bands, really tore down the venue with their energy-driven sets. The line-up was a good match. With breaks between sets of about 20 minutes, it was like a three-hour-long, almost uninterrupted set, including intensive crowd-surfing and numerous circle pits. Enjoy the photos, and I’ll see you in the pit! ~ Alex Black Spikes Butcher Babies Infected Rain For more information on the bands, follow their social media and make sure to catch them live: Infected Rain https://www.facebook.com/infectedrain https://www.infectedrain.com/ https://x.com/InfectedRain https://www.instagram.com/infectedrain_official/ Butcher Babies https://www.facebook.com/butcherbabies https://butcherbabies.com/ https://www.instagram.com/butcherbabies/ https://x.com/ButcherBabies Black Spikes https://www.facebook.com/Blackspikesband https://www.instagram.com/blackspikes_band https://www.youtube.com/@blackspikes_band Backstage Munich https://www.backstage.eu/ https://www.facebook.com/backstagemunich Thanks to the bands and the local promoter for the chance to cover the show!

Megadeth is a staple in metal music and we can’t think of a better way to round out our 2016 touring schedule than with these metal gods.

Interview with Butcher Babies as they make a stop in Sacramento for the Massive Collision Tour!

December 1, 2015

The Butcher Babies have had quite a year with some extensive touring and they recently made a stop in Sacramento this past weekend. They were at the Ace of Spades for the Massive Collision Tour with Amaranthe and Lullwater. With only a few days remaining on tour, we were excited to catch them before they wrapped up in San Jose at the Rockbar on Sunday night. We had a chance to chat with Heidi and Carla before their set and are pleased to bring you that interview to you here: When the Butcher Babies hit the stage, the adrenaline was flowing and the crowd went wild. Your eyes would be darting across the stage trying to keep up with Carla and Heidi and their unwavering energy. The entire band has truly captivating stage presences and you can’t help but be left in awe of their performance. They treated the crowd to old and new songs which had everyone fully engaged and “in the moment”, rare to catch a cell phone in the air.  Check out [Read More]
