Live at Roadrunner in Boston, Massachusetts USA *May 30th 2026* For whatever reason, I reviewed this show in the reverse order. I guess I was so excited to talk about Acid Bath that I started writing about them and just decided to leave the order as is. The show was amazing and I was so ecstatic to have finally witnessed...
Live at Taffeta Music Hall in Lowell, Massachusetts USA *May 23rd 2026* This past Saturday night I went to an amazing show at a club in Lowell, Massachusetts. I was not familiar with this venue and my perception was totally off. I was initially thinking that it was a small theater type with seating. To my delight, it ended up...
Live at The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts USA *April 11th 2026* Corrosion Of Conformity are undeniably one of the most important bands in my life. I have been a fan of this band since the early 80s. I first heard the Animosity and Technocracy EP as an introduction to the band. I was really into the crossover thrash movement and...
Live at Brighton Music Hall in Allston, Massachusetts USA *March 27th 2026* The Norwegian heavy rock band Slomosa embarked on their first headlining United States tour, beginning on March 26th through May 1st, 2026. Dubbed as the “Breaking Ice Tour”, my wife and I witnessed show number two in their month long excursion, and they were amazing! Just over a...
Live at The Usual Place in Las Vegas, Nevada USA *January 29th – February 1st 2026* As I reflect back on the Planet Desert Rock Weekend extravaganza, which took place from January 29th through February 1st 2026, I can’t help but wonder how this was even possible. Twenty one bands total, including acts from all over the world like Sweden,...
Live at Ralph’s Rock Diner in Worcester, Massachusetts USA *November 2nd 2025* I first discovered the band Prong in the early 1990’s. My buddy just bought the Beg To Differ cassette at a local record store and we both dug their sound a lot. I was mostly into a lot of heavy thrash metal back then, just before really getting...
Live at Sonia’s in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA *October 19th 2025* When I first heard that Norway’s powerhouse band Kal-El was touring the United States a few months back, I was floored! I immediately purchased my ticket and was super excited to be able to witness the mighty band in a live setting. Their latest album Astral Voyager, Vol.1 (review here)...
Live at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA *September 14th 2025* The last time I saw Fu Manchu live was almost exactly a year ago on September 15, 2024. They opened for Clutch and Rival Sons at the Hampton Beach Casino in New Hampshire (read the show review here). Although it was a great show, it was not a true...
Live at The Widowmaker Brewery in Braintree, Massachusetts USA *August 28th 2025* It’s quite rare for me to go to a heavy rock show two weeks in a row but that’s how things recently played out. Last week, I witnessed one of Sweden’s finest, Truckfighters play in Cambridge, Massachusetts (review here). This past Thursday night, I got to see the...
Live at Sonia’s in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA *August 20th 2025* I was ecstatic when I heard that the Truckfighters were returning to the United States. The Swedish fuzz rockers are one of the most dynamic and energetic live bands in existence today. I have seen the band play live, I believe four times already, and they always deliver an amazing...
