A warm fall afternoon for metal to kick off the spooky season and with everyones favorite horror theme metal band The Black Dahlia Murder. Fresh off of dropping their 10^th studio albumServitude, these masters of shred are taking it on the road on the Beg to Serve Tour w Dying Fetus. Joining the pair are,Californian Deathcore  Spite, Canadian Deathcore Angelmakerand Vomit Forth. Tonight should be an energetic show for the crowd. 

Vomit Forth was up first, the crowd still packing into the venue was greeted with heavy breakdown and slams. This band full of attitude commanded the crowds attention as they ripped through their set. This band is quick paced and pairs the slams with grinds to make their point. 

Angelmaker was up next, a city favorite having visited Cleveland several times in their touring history even as far back as 2018 Summer Slaughter. These canadian deathcore masters have been making waves announcing the addition of former Rings of Saturn vocalist Ian Bearer joining the band. Ferocious as ever the crowd was throwing down from the first beat, having packed the floor to capacity. The band ripped through several songs and even debuted a new song that Ian had collaborated onthat will be released soon. 

Spite cult took the stage and whipped the crowd into a fury. Right from the start vocalist Darius Tehrani used every inch of the stage to stalk and entertain this night. Frantic and fast, while hitting hard has always been a staple with this band, ramping the energy to 11. The band played through several of their favorites including Caved In,  Made to Please and Kill or Be Killed. 

Death Metal veterans Dying Fetus took the stage next. The fans gave them a warm greeting as they hit the stage. This band is known for heavy riffs and slamming drums throughout theirsongs, the pace continues to push the further they move through their set. When the band played Wrong One to Fuck With the circle pit became all encompassing, spanning from one side of the floor to the other churning bodies around the venue. Moshersand headbangers got to rejoice as the band ripped through several choice songs; Subject to a Beating, In the Trenches andCompulsion to Cruelty were among the set. 

The Black Dahlia Murder closed out this night kicking things off with Verminous and What A Horrible Night for a Curse. The tag team of Knight and Ellis throughout the night dazzled all, as the night was filled with shred. Vocalist Eschbach was sharp and commanding, as he paced the stage. The showcase for tonight was Mammoth’s Hand and Panic Hysteric off of their latest release Servitude. The band kept up the horror theme madness through the rest of their set before closing out the night.

NANOWAR OF STEEL AND TRAGEDY CAME INTO BALTIMORE MARYLAND AND BROUGHT THE FUN,THE MUSIC AND THE GOOD TIMES WITH THEM. 

Tragedy opened up and this band is amazing and so much fun. They are a heavy metal bee-gees and beyond band. With songs like “Stayin Alive”, and “Tragedy” but then you get songs like “Summer Nights”, “Sweet Caroline” and “It’s raining men” mixed in with “Raining Blood”. The show if non stop fun from beginning to end . 

This was my first time seeing Nanowar of Steel in concert, and oh my lord do those Italians know how to put on a good time. From amazing outfits and outfit changes to hilarious and kick ass songs like “Call of Cthulhu”, “Disco Metal”, “Uranus” and “Valhalleluja”. 

The band was amazing and had to be one the best and fun times I’ve had a concert in a long time. What I love is that the band is funny and sorta a joke band, but don’t that fool you they kick ass and play so well together. Not only do they have the vocal chops of amazing metal of the 80s, but also just keep you engaged the whole time, and they can also build a table from ikea. 

If you get a chance to check out this tour I must encourage that you do, it will make your bad day turn upside down with the power of metal.

This was my first time getting to see Hanabie as they were slotted to play a festival last year but it got the last 2 days cancelled. I was super bummed but the I seen this tour and got super excited to see this metal/k pop infused band of kick ass women hit the stage. I loved the set it was so much energy so much colors and so much fun and positivity. Hanabie are a brutal as fuck metal band package like a sweet little treat. Although my Japanese is very weak it didn’t mind that I didn’t know the words to the songs because the crowd sure did and I was living for it. 

I seen Jinjer on their first US tour opening up for cradle of filth. Dani from Cradle was sick so Jinjer got to do a headlining show and since then has been on a path of awesomeness. I love that this band is getting bigger and bigger cause they deserve it. Such an amazing band to see, such craftsmanship of their instruments. Each and everyone band member is insanely talented, but also super nice and very friendly with their fans. I got to hear some of my favorite songs like “Just Another”, “APE”, “I speak Astronomy”.  

It was a sold out show  at soundstage and the place was packed and ready to tear the roof off, mosh and crowd surf. It was a great night for metal.
