Black Label Society Baltimore Show Review

Ron

Published

The Filmore Silver Springs
January 29th 2018

The banner was hanging high and proud. Black Label Society was in town tonight and everyone was anxiously waiting for the curtain to drop. Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” was playing in the background to make the crowd even more pumped up. Then boom the curtain dropped, the air cannons exploded and Zakk Wylde and the Black Label crew came out to rock the place.

Zakk with his usual attire which is vest, beard and hair ready to be head banging all night long. BLS came right out the gate with “Genocide Junkies”. If you have never seen BLS before you are missing a high energy show with amazing talented musicians. The stage is always set up with crazy gear and Zakk knows how to please a crowd.

During the show Zakk comes out and plays piano on “In This River” which is a song about Dimebag Darell which just shows you how multi talented he really is. He also during his set likes to take his guitar while in on his back still playing it and walk into the crowd. And when I say walk into the crowd I don’t mean a few feet in, with his guitar cord that’s the longest one I have ever seen, he makes his way deep into the pit almost to the end of the club and just shreds for which seems like an eternity never missing a chord.

With Zakk in the front and center stage you think the other band mates would be lost but they are just as talented and exciting as Zakk is. Bassist John DeServio just as energetic as Zakk. Guitarist Dario Lorino shreds the guitar just as great and kills it every time. And drummer Jeff Fabb keeps up with the other crazy members of BLS just the same.

On tonight’s show we got a good mix of tunes that span 9 albums. My favorites of the night had to be “Fire it Up”and of course BLS ended with “Stillborn” which is just a killer song. Such a great show and just great to witness how amazing Zakk is in person. This is a must see band and a must see show.

About W.A.S.P.

Few bands in the history of rock n roll have ever incited the love, the hate, and the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold-out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Them Damn Kings “Shown With A Fist”

Ron

Published

By

Them Damn Kings from NJ just released a new single “Shown With a Fist”.
If you like your music in your face with a touch of old school rock and roll this is the band for you. It’s got gritty vocals and pounding drums adding in some killer guitar shreds.
It’s a song that you listen to when you want to get into a bar fight or want to drive your car really fast down the highway.
It’s worth a listen, check out the lyric video below with a little bonus guitar mortal kombat shred off.

Ashes to Omens “Feed Me More” 

Ron

Published

Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion. 

The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band. 

Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.
