AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: CHURCH OF MISERY/Black Wizard/Forming the Void @ The Garrison, February 18, 2020
For many Canadian fans, the wait to see Church of Misery was very long. Their last set of scheduled Canadian dates were cancelled by the U.S. government shutdown back in 2013, and no attempt had been made to return to our country…until now.

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: MONOLORD/The Death Wheelers/Low Orbit @ The Garrison, September 3, 2018
On a hot September’s night, Swedish doomsters Monolord made their second Toronto appearance to a sizeable, sweaty crowd at The Garrison…

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: WITCH MOUNTAIN, Volur, Smoulder @ The Garrison, August 4, 2018
It’s nice to see a bill where all the bands are complementary, but not identical–three different shades of doom metal were on display last night.

Shining, Revenge, Wolvhammer @ The Garrison, Toronto ON, May 9, 2017
Tonight’s stop on the so-called No Safe Space Tour may be an attempt to take a swipe at the increasingly politicized climate the modern world exists in these days, but the line up, by black metal standards, is diverse: Wolvhammer’s sludge-tinged black metal, Revenge’s black/death cacophony and Shining’s progressive melancholia.

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: Conan/North @ The Garrison, May 21, 2017

Still scratching my head over London landing a stop on the Mastodon/Clutch/Graveyard tour while Toronto has to settle for a Graveyard side date. That said, the latter would be the band I most wanted to see of those three, so I saved me some cash and a trip westward by catching ’em at The Garrison…

This one almost flew right past me–like a flying roundhouse kick!
While early June promises to be punishing, it’s worth noting for those who are stuck in the city this long weekend that Oxbow is playing Toronto tonight. For the first time. Ever.

If you only see one band at NXNE this weekend…
Post-ambient shoegaze drone doom duo (for lack of a better term) Nadja make their triumphant return to Toronto at The Garrison this Sunday. This is literally the only NXNE gig I’m attending this year. Yes, it’s that worthwhile.

New venue, same Acid Mothers Temple…
For the past four or five years, I’ve counted on Japanese spaced-out psych merchants Acid Mothers Temple coming through town in April. They always seem to take a trip over here right when spring starts to bloom. Well okay, so spring was a little late this year. Also of note: this gig wasn’t at the…
