Upcoming: Slave to the Metal Festival
The Slave to the Metal Music Festival comes to Antioch this Friday and Saturday. Now, I don’t have any fancy television package at home, so I’m not a regular viewer of Fuse and I sure as hell don’t have a good grip on what is going on with this “festival”, but if you ask me, it seems a little odd. I mean, I’ve heard of maybe two or three of those 30 some-odd bands. Which … Read entire article »

Upcoming: Finntroll, Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun
I gotta admit, I’m surprised that Finntroll have lasted this long. I’ve rocked-out a time or two to Trollhammeren, and they have a pretty big underground following, but I always pegged them as a one-hit wonder. I guess that shows what I know. … Read entire article »

Needless to say, it has been an exciting and interesting two years since … Read entire article »

UGZ Speedtrials: Play fast or DIE
Okay, so there’s this show that happens every year at Gilman in Berkeley called the UGZ Speed Trials. Basically take a bunch of unsigned metal bands, give them 15 minutes to play as fast as they can, and the fastest band gets dubbed the winner. I guess it’s a cool idea, but I don’t really have anything to compare it to. I dig the flyer though. … Read entire article »
