Deafheaven and Programm, Toronto ON, Nov 21, 2014
Converse Rubber Tracks Live: Deafheaven with guests Programm Opera House, Toronto ON Friday, November 21st, 2014 Metal as a genre doesn’t have the anti-establishment reputation of punk, but it still doesn’t seem all that likely that heavy metal would be ripe for corporate sponsorship. Nevertheless, in recent years we’ve seen such sponsorship beginning to flower, with corporate brand names like…

THRASH INVASION TOUR: Onslaught, Artillery and Vx36 at the Mansion, Kingston, ON November 11, 2014 Photo above by Artillery I don’t get out to shows very much anymore.

King Diamond / Jess and the Ancient Ones @ Sound Academy, Toronto ON, October 18, 2014
Review by Sean Palmerston – Concert photos by Adam Wills This was a Saturday night worth remembering. A cold, crisp October evening just a few weeks before Halloween made for a fitting return of King Diamond to a Toronto stage. It had been over ten years since King had played Toronto with any of his…

Amon Amarth, Sabaton, and Skeletonwitch in Thunder Bay, October 7, 2014
Photos By Scott Hobbs The crowd for the October 7th Amon Amarth show in Thunder Bay was made up of the usual suspects. Whereas the folks who had come to see Lacuna Coil a few weeks earlier looked like an intersection of several different kinds of people and music fans, at this show there was…

Children of Bodom/Death Angel/Tyr Halo of Blood Over North America Charlotte, NC (3/19/14) I had my gear packed and ready to head to the show, and I headed out at a pretty good time — enough time to give me about an hour window in case of traffic. In the southeast, it’s rare to have much…
