Cold:Year of the Spider 20th Anniversary Baltimore Show/Interview

Ron

It’s not a Cold show if you don’t have some laughs, some tears, lots of fans singing along and great music.

I have been a fan of Cold since I first heard the debut album, and I’ve been able to see them play since 13 Ways to Bleed came out. Their album, Year of the Spider was one that has not only helped me and many other fans through some hard times but also helped singer Scooter Ward work out some of his emotions and personal demons. The album from front to back is an underrated masterpiece from an underrated band. I would put this album against any album any day. I was lucky to see Cold go on a small tour for this album and do a “Storytellers” show. Many bands talk about loving their fans, but I 100% believe nobody loves them as much as Scooter. He’s always so genuine with his experiences with fans and can make everyone feel like they are important. One of the highlights of the show was when Scooter pointed out Kid Dreadful in the audience (Kid Dreadful is an awesome 9-year-old girl who does amazing horror and metal-related cosplay photography). Check her out https://m.facebook.com/KidDreadful/) Scooter told everyone in the crowd that she was his 2nd favorite person at that show, the first was his daughter who was handling the merch table.

Check out the interview I did with Lindsay and the guys about the tour and this amazing album and go out and see Cold while they are doing this run. Get all your info at https://coldarmy.com/

King Diamond brought the Halloween party to Silver Spring MD

King Diamond who’s on tour now with Overkill and Night Demon.

Overkill always puts on a great show and shows that face pace thrash metal is still kick ass. Led by NJ’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth Overkill has that distinctive sound with Bobby’s high pitched and raspy vocals. With songs like “Scorched”, “ Rotten to the Core” and “Hello From the Gutter”, Overkill got the crowd into a frenzy and warmed up the stage before the king. 

You know it’s gonna be a good night when it’s 3 days before Halloween and you get to see a kick ass set from King Diamond. King Diamond who’s 68 right now still commands that stage and sounds amazing with his insanely falsettos. The stage show at a King Diamond show is always such a great sight to see. With a multilayer setup of stairs and little pieces of elaborate set all over it’s such a great view and perfect setting to watch a King Diamond set. 

The set list was amazing too we got to hear songs from such a great career like “A Mansion in the Darkness”, “Halloween “, “Spider Lilly”, “Welcome Home”, and “Eye of the Witch” and of course ending the night with “Abagail”. 

If you’re a fan of King Diamond or just a fan of great music that adds that Halloween haunted asylum themed stage performances then you need to go out and check this tour now. King Diamond never disappoints and always puts on one hell of a show.

ITS TIME TO GET YOUR BODY BEAT AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW

Combichrist came into Lovedrafts in Mechanicsburg with an old school electronic  set and the return of PA’s own DeathMaschine. 

Combichrist took the dark stage armed with Eric on the synths/sampler and Andy on Vocals and an open stage to rampage on. I got to hear some killer kick ass songs I haven’t heard in a while like “Today I woke to the rain of blood”, “This is My Rifle” and This shit will fuck you up”.  

The crowd were super excited to watch the set and everyone was having a good time, dancing to the beats, and singing all the songs and having an amazing time. I’ve been wanting to see Combichrist do these old school sets and have always loved that era of the band. We also got to hear “Like to Thank My Buddies” and “Shut up and Swallow”. We also got a super rare treat for an encore Andy went back even further in his musically roots and pulled out an Icon of Coil song “Dead Enough For Life”, which got the crowd in a frenzy.

ATL IS IN THE HOUSE. 

Ludacris came into Maryland at the Hall in Live Casino and brought with him the masses that were ready for a good time, good fun and good tunes. 

Ludacris said it’s been a long time since he’s been back to Maryland and DC area. I loved that he just came out with his dj and his hype man and himself nothing else was needed when you entertain like Ludacris does. Whether  you’re a fan from back in the day or a fan of his movies, Ludacris made everyone happy and made sure they were fully entertained. 

Of course Ludacris played some of his hits songs like “Act a Fool”, “Move Bitch”, “What’s your fantasy”, “Get Back” and “Area Codes” but he also played some old school tracks and a few covers like “Holiday Inn” and “Yeah”. The crowd was hitting that good weed as well and threw some blunts up to the stage during “BlueBerry Yum Yum”. 

Ludacris made a statement that his first album came out in 2000 and this next year is the 25th anniversary of the album. It was a great night and a great time, Ludacris knows how to keep the fans engaged and entertained all night. He’s very fan friendly and charismatic which makes sense that he’s also a great actor.
