Episode 17: Chicago Falls To The Great Heathen Army

Amon Amarth once again takes Chicago, and once again they kill! Along with the mighty Vikings we were able to see some amazing death metal bands. For the second time we saw Carcass. It was also our first time seeing Obituary and Cattle Decapitation. It was a glorious battle, listen and see how Chicago fared against The Great Heathen Army.

Episode 16: Tributes at Reggies

Finally made it to Reggies for a show. It was the first show of 2023 when we saw three tribute bands; Damaged Justice (Metallica), Sabbatha (Black Sabbath/Ozzy), and Giznad (Danzig/Misfits). With so many amazing songs to pull from and at an venue that is a staple in Chicago how could this be a bad show. Listen in to see what our thoughts were and how the night turned out.

Episode 15: Stripped with Wage War

Non normal shows are some of our favorites. Whether its in an unique venue, or with a sympathy supporting the band, or a fully acoustic set. Wage War, a band we just discovered in 2022, did just this with two out of three, which ain't bad. On tour with the headliner A Day To Remember, both bands put on a killer show in an amazing ornate venue, the Chicago Theater. Tag along as we relive this fantastic concert.

Episode 14: Twisted Xmas with Jack White

With this being one of the last shows of 2022 we once again returned to Aragon Ballroom to join Q101 for night 2 of their Twisted Xmas concert series. While it's not a metal show by a metal artist, it was an amazing show with the rock icon Jack White. Join us as we revisit this incredible show and hear our evolving thoughts on this historic venue and our first time seeing Jack White, it will not be our last.

Episode 13: Trivium - Deadmen And Dragons

While we have seen Trivium a few times now it was still a night of many firsts. With it being our first time seeing all the openers and our first show at the Radius. Listen as we talk about the excellent evening with Trivium, Between the Buried and Me, Whitechapel, and Khemmis.

Episode 11: Legacy of Maiden/Beast - Part 1(Pre-Show Bitching)

Maiden is one the Godfathers of Metal and this may be their final tour. Unfortunately, for us this was our first time seeing Iron Maiden.

Episode 10: Machine Head - Of Kingdom And Crown Tour 2022

We head back out to the burbs to see another show. This is our first time at The Forge in Joliet where we saw Machine Fucking Head, also for the first time. It was an odd night with many emotions. Recorded a few days later we look back to see just how wrong we were and how all the negatives we had to say were not all that bad.

Episode 9: Shows During COVID
