When the show with Black Label Society was postponed due to illness, Corrosion of Conformity played a surprise headlining gig at The Intersection. Their new album ‘No Cross No Crown’ dropped the next day and they graced us with some new songs, the new album on sale (signed too!!) and an amazingly intimate show.
Jesse Leach DJ Set Review
The lineage of metal and hardcore music was alive and well as Jesse Leach, vocalist of metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage, hosted a DJ set inside The Stache this past Saturday night.
Bear Mace – Butchering the Colossus
Beware, this may bring out the mosh monster in you.
Warcrab – Scars of Aeons
Warcrab gives us a dark, brooding masterpiece without flaw. Too few will hear this album this year, but it will certainly find it’s way high up on my year end list.
All Hell – The Grave Alchemist
By sticking to their aggressive, old-school evil and almost European style of metal, all while remaining ungodly catchy and heavy, they make it nearly impossible to catch your breath from track to track.
The Furor – Cavalries of the Occult
Musically, the album is so dynamic and unpredictable, it very nearly defies classification. To say that it is a mix of black and death metal, while true, does not do justice to what you hear when you listen.
Craven Idol – The Shackles of Mammon
This album caught me by surprise, to be honest. I loved the album art from the time I saw it, but wasn’t expecting a sound so uniquely vintage yet contemporary at the same time.
The Obsessed – Sacred
All in all, just a heavy, old school, meaner version of their younger selves.
