Terrestria World Tour: Pittsburgh Show Review
The Crafthouse in Pittsburgh Pa was host to the TerrestriaWorld Tour starring Rivers of Nihil, Fallujah, Alluvial, Warforged and Burial in the Sky on June 5th. It was another warm sunny day in the burg as the bands loaded into the venue and fans lined up outside this venue that is a restaurant, bar, and bowling alley. Fans of progressive metal were in for a treat as every band on the bill is unique to the genre and had newer materials to share with the crowd this night.
Burial in the Sky kicked things off for the night. The band plays a blend of heavy and melodic while keeping the tech. Vocalist Michael Alverez got the crowd moving with his energetic stage presence as growled through the set. One thing that I found fascinating was when the bassist picked up a saxophone to perform on one of their songs. The bands dynamics really kept the crowd engaged throughout their performance.
Warforged was up next, this Chicago based quintet came out with a down tuned fury mixing progressive metal with a blackened feel. The bassist and vocalist were a one two punch as they kept up the intensity of the show, telling the crowd to mosh along with the bands many breakdowns. Some standouts were when the band played through The Place that Breaks Your Bones and Nightfall Came.
Alluvial was onstage next, this band has gone under a bit of a change from their roots having transitioned from an instrumental project to a full band with vocalist. Vocalist Kevin Muller kept the action moving calling out for a Wall of Death before kicking off Exponent. Founding member and guitarist Wes Hauch was very impressive to watch live, pulling off solo after solo from the band’s newest album Sarcoma. Some of the songs the band performed this night were Ulysses, Sleepers Become Giants and 40 Stories.
Fallujah took the stage after Alluvial to a very warm and inviting crowd, as the headbanging would pair up with the bands syncopated rhythms throughout their set. This tour is the debut of their new vocalist Kyle Schaefer of Archeologist, he is a great fit with the band as he is fully capable of hitting the growls as well as well as the challenge of hitting all the cleans throughout their set. Fallujah also played through their newest single Radiant Ascension, guitarist Scott Carstairs has pushed his playing to a new level, I cannot wait to hear the newest album set to be released later this year. Another standout performance to note was filling in on tour on bass was bassist Killian Duarte whose fingerstyle playing was mesmerizing to watch live. The band was very tight, and their mix was super clean throughout their set which stood out on their closer The Void Alone.
Rivers of Nihil closed out the show, a darkend stage with minimal light was the backdrop for the band to perform their newest release The Work. The Tower Piano intro set the mood before the band kicked things off with MORE? The crowd went wild moshing for the band whose vocalist Jeff Dieffenbach kept motioning for more out of the crowd as the pit continued to grow. For a minimal light approach the band had many strobes and laser lights on stage to break up the green and black light visually. Stand out songs performed during their set included Dreaming Black Clockwork, the Silent Life and an encore of Where The Owls Know My Name.

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”
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”
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.
