Gloom and doom made their home at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on November 30th, as Katatonia, the revered Swedish architect of dark progressive metal, graced the stage.

Halestorm, The Warning, and New Years Day hit the road on September 21st, 2022 starting at Mars Music Hall in Huntsville, AL. New Year’s Day didn’t make it due to mechanical problems with their tour bus, but on September, 26th all three bands brought their A game.

Memorial Day weekend began on a heavy note, as the Back from the Gulag Tour featuring Brand of Sacrifice, Currents, Thy Art is Murder, and After the Burial made its way to The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

2022’s Earthday Birthday was nothing short of a celebration of life and nature at the Central Florida Fairgrounds on April 23. While the rescheduled show back in September of 2021 was great, as always, this year felt different—better.

Memphis May Fire has hit the road with friends Ashes to New, Rain City Drive, and Wolves at the Gate, a combination of bands that, individually, make for a remarkable night, but together, leaves you gobsmacked that such an incredible show was even possible. 

Pure mayhem. That is the only way to describe what occurred at The Webster Underground on Sunday, June 12. With a lineup of Bodybox, Vatican, hometown band Boundaries, and headliner Spite, fans were eager to get into the venue to begin their night of heavy music, friendship, and chaos. 

You know that a show is going to be amazing when the fans are lined up outside even with the threat of rain and umbrellas not permitted in the venue.

For his birthday this year, Skum Love asked the You Rock Foundation to host his birthday show at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunday, August 29, 2021, hosted by Jes Fama, with special guests The Mendenhall Experiment, Fate DeStroyed, and Symbolism.

In Absentia Dei was performed at a church in Poland, the same church where Behemoth filmed the music video for “Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel.” This entire set was filmed in 4K and was absolutely beautiful. The concert also included an hour-long pre-show that featured a set from avant-garde metal band Imperial Triumphant performing at The Slipper Room Cabaret in New York City.

After the final set change and the lights came on, the creeps the crowd had been waiting for took to the stage, Wednesday 13 and his Ghoul Scouts. Now this would prove to be no ordinary Wednesday 13 show.
