The Reverb is located one hour west of Philadelphia and a short 2 1/2 drive from the New Jersey shore. Rather than head to beach, as many local residents do during the Memorial Day weekend, metal fans packed the Reverb instead. Sumerian Records put together a solid lineup for this tour which… Read More

The night started when Maryland band, Guns Out At Sundown, took the stage. I wasn’t familiar with the band, but they did not disappoint. The metalcore group put on a great, energetic 30 minute set. The band released “Dark Horizon” this year, and I recommend that you check them out and give a… Read More

Although the show didn’t appear to be sold-out, empty seats were few. On this rainy, Mother’s Day evening, the Ghost faithful came out in droves to watch Papa Emeritus and his nameless ghouls perform. The evening began with Pinkish Black, and experimental rock duo consisting of Daron Beck on… Read More

With a venue change reported only a couple of weeks prior to the gig, things might have gotten a bit confusing and I remember both being a little skeptical as well as having to navigate myself by memory and luck to the new venue and having to do a couple of rounds to find a place to park, but… Read More

The show at the Rams Head Live began promptly at 8 pm. There were four bands on the bill and each added a new layer of energy and excitement to the evening. New York band, Martyrd, kicked off the event. The group played a solid 30 minute thrash style set that established the heavy metal spirit… Read More

Outside Fuzz club, it all seemed like a lie, being April Fool’s Day and all that there was going to be a significant delay, because of a delayed soundcheck, but unfortunately that just happened. Memorain have been around for a while and in the past have featured SdG in their ranks (as a guest)… Read More

Arriving a little later (not that it mattered) after openers Palace (a half decent, 3rd rate Gamma Ray meets Accept/Udo hybrid that has put out some seven albums to this point without making any serious mark on the scene, I was greeted by a huge queue of people outside the club waiting to… Read More

The show started at 7:30 and it was no surprise that the venue was packed with a raucous crowd, prior to the first band taking the stage. Cannibal Corpse is considered the king of the death metal hill and they’ve been in existence for over 25 years. Joining them on tour are death metal veterans… Read More

Swedish rock band, Spiders, is touring with Graveyard as the opening act and they are supporting their 2014 album, “Shake Electric”. When they stepped on stage, the concert hall was nearly 50 percent full, with many fans still trickling in from the parking garage. Anyone that missed Spiders’ set… Read More

I got there around 21:20 right about the time Narcosis were getting ready to begin their show. I and another 30-40 people who were there at the time heard an interesting mixture between Nirvana (mostly cause of the vocals) & Pelican. That’s the best I could describe Narcosis style. Thank… Read More

Dead South Dealers’ sound can be described as the heavy/stoner rock mix that Greek bands are known for. Zakk Wylde style guitars, early Zakk Wylde (before he turned into Ozzy) type vocals, heavy almost cave man drumming and a Kyuss reminiscing baseline. I must admit that I was not familiar with… Read More
