Stabbing Westward Show Review

SoundStage
Baltimore MD
August 17th 2017

TONIGHT I TIME TRAVELED BACK TO 1996.

Somehow while driving downtown in Baltimore I must have ran into a cosmic disturbance because I was transferred back into the mid-late 90s, where the goth and club kids thrived( this was before hot topics) and great industrial music was being made.I remember going to the record store to pick up Stabbing Westwards album “Wither Blister Burn&Peel”. This was such an amazing album. I then got the chance to see the band somewhere between 1997-98 and was blown away by how amazing this band was.

Fast forward to 2017, I’m on my way to the show whiles listening to that same album again, and it’s still just as amazing as it was the first time that I heard it. Singer Chris Hall came out and just demanded the stage once again. Usually at SoundStage they have a barrier between the stage and the fans, not tonight which made it so the band and Chris could interact with the fans throughout the show.

Throughout the night the band played songs from all the albums that they have released. They even played “ Violent Mood Swings” which was off the “Ungod” album from 1993. I was super excited when they played “Falls apart”, which is one of my favorite songs that they have done. From time to time Chris would say “ this is a love song” and then go into many songs that are definitely not a love song. Like I said since the crowd was so upclose to the stage, this brought out many great moments. One girl was wearing a dress then all of a sudden she wasn’t wearing the dress anymore and was just wearing some chain mail outfit which threw Chris off, At one point during the show he had puked a little in his mouth but still continued to sing the song, then walked off stage and came back to let us know what happened.

This was such amazing show, and brought back so many good memories from the past. They ended with “ What do I have to do” which was just Purely amazing. Guitarist Mark Eliopulos had some family in the crowd the night. Keyboardist Walter Flakus still was just as lively as he was back in the day. Such a great time and I hope that decide to maybe do some more touring because everyone needs to see Stabbing Westward play. After the show Chris and Walter came over to the Merch table to sign autographs and take pictures with all the fans.

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

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.
