Social media can be a pain in the ass, always trying to tell you what new things you should check out. After being hounded online with ads for “other products I may be interested in,” I realized that none of them were for metal shows. I wished they were. So, I wrote my own version.
METALCORE
Whitechapel & Glass Cloud
11/8 at The Intersection
A kick-you-in-the-jugular kind of Metalcore. Blast beats are encouraged.
OLD SCHOOL METAL
Carcass, Macabre
11/11 at The Intersection
Yes, it’s that Carcass. They are on tour to support
the new album.
GORE METAL
GWAR, Corrosion of Conformity
11/23 at The Intersection
GWAR has a new front WOMAN. Her blood-squirting nipples are a must-see.
TRIBUTE METAL
Sext Farm: A Spinal Tap Tribute
11/8 at The Pyramid Scheme
Check them out because everyone loves Spinal Tap (and not just because my boss is in the band).
MORE METALCORE
Kublia Khan, Gideon, Barrier
11/13 at The Stache
If you like Parkway Drive-type metalcore, check out this show.
HARDCORE
Hatebreed
1/24 at The Intersection
With locals Sin Theorem, Withhold the Blood and Society Kills, this show will destroy you.
DOOM METAL
Weedeater, Full of Hell
11/10 at The Pyramid Scheme
The doom-iest of metal that will vibrate your bone marrow.
OLD SCHOOL THRASH METAL
Kreator, Arch Enemy, Huntress
11/20 at The Intersection
Yes, Kreator is stopping in the U.S. after conquering Europe.
HEAVYWEIGHTS
