Thursday Dec 12, 2024

We return again to the Subterranean for a vastly different show. The first time we were here, just a month earlier, was for a hardcore show. This time it was for some metal infused darksynth with a little electronic pop. While we knew what we were getting ourselves into with Dance With The Dead, their opener, Korine, was a surprise for sure.

Thursday Dec 05, 2024

When Hatebreed announced their 30th anniversary tour, Chicago was left off the list. At first we were a little disappointed, but then we calmed down because we would be able to see them at MKE Metal Fest. Sure not quite as good as seeing them at their own headlining show, but at least we got to see them and help celebrate 30 amazing years. However, at MKE Metal Fest, Jasta announced that two more shows were added to the 30th anniversary tour; Green Bay and Chicago. So yeah, we were going to try and make this work. Not only did we get to celebrate Hatebreed with the other fans, we also got to celebrate with two new bands, Crypta and Harm’s Way. Of course the gents from across the pond, Carcass, were also joining in on the celebration. 

Episode 112: Dying Wish

Thursday Nov 28, 2024

Thursday Nov 28, 2024

We made it to yet another show for a band from both the OG Headbangers boat and Jasta’s first MKE Metal Fest, Dying Wish. Since both of these killer fests, Dying Wish has been through Chicago a number of times, and we just miss out every time. This time though at Subterranean… Well the show sold out too. But! There was a second show added that we were able to get tickets to. With Dying Wish we got to see Outta Pocket, Balmora, Combust, and headlining the second night Pain of Truth. Not only was this our first show at Subterranean, it was also our first Hardcore only show, and both would leave a lasting impression on us.

Episode 111: Gatecreeper

Thursday Nov 21, 2024

Thursday Nov 21, 2024

After seeing Gatecreeper a number of times at festivals, we finally got an opportunity to see them on their own headlining tour. Supporting Gatecreeper on this journey we had Frozen Soul and Worm. While the music was great this was one show where the crowd energy and pit took us out of the show some.

Thursday Nov 14, 2024

Here in part two we wrap up our experience on the 2024 lamb of god Headbangers boat. On the last few days of the cruise we were able to catch some great sets and some fun Halloween pits. In this episode we also take a look at some loot we found and just give our overall final impressions of the journey. With all of the schedule and line up changes how will this compare to last year's ship? And of course, what about next year?

Thursday Nov 07, 2024

It’s time to set sail again with the Headbangers Boat. For the second year in a row we left Miami, but this time we make port in the Dominican Republic at Puerto Plata. Of course this cruise was captained by lamb of god with support from Dethklok, Chimaira, Poison The Well, Carcass (they replaced At The Gates), Soulfly, Exodus, Napalm Death, Corrosion Of Conformity, After The Burial (they didn’t make the boat), Currents, Bleeding Through, Unearth, Eyehategod, Frozen Soul, UnityTX, and many more. While the weather was far from perfect, and the schedule would constantly change, we definitely made the best out of it. Join us for part one where we take a look at this amazing experience up to the end of day 2 of the cruise. 

Episode 108: Till Lindemann

Thursday Oct 31, 2024

Thursday Oct 31, 2024

There're many ways to consume music. Our favorite is live. For us, the live aspect of music offers so much more. From the energy of the crowd to the unique performances a band will bring to help enhance or even bring their music alive. This is definitely the case with Till Lindemann. Till’s solo shows are very much an extension of his other small band, Rammstein. Bringing very much the same energy and  showmanship. Joining him this time around we had Twin Temple and Aesthetic Perfection. This would end up being a very memorable night from the top of the bill to the bottom.

Episode 107: Kittie

Thursday Oct 24, 2024

Thursday Oct 24, 2024

Kittie comes to Chicago! Joining them in support at Concord Music Hall we also got VCTMS and Conquer Divide. It was definitely an anticipated show for us, as we have never seen any of these bands before and have wanted to see Kittie for quite some time. It was definitely a fun night for metal.

Episode 106: Norma Jean

Thursday Oct 17, 2024

Thursday Oct 17, 2024

We're back at Bottom Lounge. This time, for Norma Jean and their 1994 North America Tour. Joining them in support was Darkest Hour and two local Chicago bands who tore up the stage, We Weren't Invited and Suncrusher. Join us for our second show in a row at Bottom Lounge where the majority of the acts were from our home town of Chicago.

Episode 105: Farewell Sepultura

Thursday Oct 10, 2024

Thursday Oct 10, 2024

Every band says goodbye at one point or another. After 40 years, it's that time for the metal lords from Brazil, Sepultura. To celebrate their career and to say goodbye to their fans, Sepultura embarked on a multi year multi continent tour. Aiding in this celebration they brought along their friends in Obituary, Agnostic Front, and Claustrofobia. We were lucky enough to see the first show of the 2024 North American leg of this celebration in Chicago at Concord Music Hall. And while it was the first show with a few kinks, it was a celebration well had.
