Xandria + Delain + Sonata Arctica - 9/28/2014 - The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco, CA

After attending two shows already this weekend, we are psyched about this last one on Sunday featuring three bands that we really enjoy. Coming back to the Regency ballroom, we made sure we arrived early enough to not have to lineup all the way around the block!

With the upstairs section closed meaning the show was not sold-out, at the end of the day, the trio of bands pulled around 400 people or so to this Sunday show.

Amaranthe - Within Temptation - The Regency Ballroom 9/25/2014 - San Francisco, CA

As part of their ‘big markets’ tour, Within Temptation and Amaranthe played San Francisco’s the Regency ballroom. Being huge fans of Within Temptation back in the day, we wanted the opportunity to see them again after 10 years or so. Watching Amaranthe live has been a curiosity of us for quite a while now and we missed them on their last tour, so this was a great opportunity to catch them both.

Amon Amarth - Sabaton - Skeletonwitch - The Catalyst - Santa Cruz, CA - 9/26/2014

Hitting smaller markets this time around, Amon Amarth, Sabaton and Skeletonwitch team up for one hell of a lineup that combines some contrasting styles in a very solid package. Ditching work early, we made our way to Santa Cruz with enough time to spare in order to hydrate for the show. The sign outside the venue promised a very interesting lineup: Amon Amarth / Aaron Carter in the Atrium. Luckily for us, the Metal show had the bigger stage and all the grown up teeny bopers had a tiny section of the venue for their show.

ReVamp – Sabaton – Iced Earth – Slim’s, San Francisco, CA – 5/3/2014

After moving to the Bay area, we have been delighted to see the amount of shows that we can potentially attend. We finally jumped at the opportunity of covering one of the most anticipated tours of 2014 featuring ReVamp, Sabaton and veterans Iced Earth. Being huge fans of Sabaton and curious about seeing Floor Jansen with ReVamp, this was a very good opportunity to check out the facilities at Slim’s.

Anathema – Alcest – Mamiffer – Summit Music Hall – Denver, CO - 9/24/2013

Closing our weekend of excessive drinking and live music, we had Anathema, Alcest and Mamiffer delivering one of the best shows we have seen in Denver, Co in the last few years. While the Anathema / Alcest combination might sound weird for some, being huge fans of both bands we were pretty psyched about this live show.

Roadburn 2013 – Day 1

While making our way through our bucket list of Metal/Extreme Music festivals to attend in our lifetime, we always passed on Roadburn due to its non-traditional schedule being in April. However, all the stars aligned in 2013 for us to be able to attend. Coincidentally, the festival also had one of their best ever line-up’s (in our opinion) with almost half the bands playing being very high on our musical lists.

Marking the beginning of our 2012 holidays in Germany, we decided to swing by Holland and visit one of the premier indoor festivals: Eindhoven Metal Meeting.
