IRONFEST VI @ Southgate House Revival - Nov. 13 & 14...

11/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
The time for IronFest has once again rolled around, with 51 bands set to take over The Southgate House Revival this weekend over two nights and three stages. While I probably won't be able to attend this year (due to a lack of heavy bands on the bill), I still think it's an incredible event put on by some of the hardest working folks in the local musical industry and the proceeds go to a good cause. If you're looking for some live music in the Queen City area this weekend, you could certainly do worse. Also, it's the only remaining Valley of the Sun show in the States this year. Below is a list of bands playing each night with links to music samples, followed by a schedule graphic. Please let me know if you have any information on the stuff I couldn't figure out. Thanks and enjoy. (And, yes, I'm aware that the columns look like shit on the mobile site. Working on that.)- JO

Shadow Woods Metal Fest - UPDATE...

7/30/2015

0 Comments

 
There have been a few changes to the upcoming and highly anticipated Shadow Woods Metal Fest since my interview with festival organizer Mary Spiro a few months ago. Most importantly, the SWMF has moved from its original location in Pennsylvania to Camp Hidden Valley in White Hall, Maryland. The new camp contains all of the amenities featured in the interview and should provide a fantastic setting for a weekend of camping and Heavy Metal. In addition, the lineup has slightly changed. Refer to the photo below for the updated lineup. Tickets still remain and this WILL BE the one and only year for the festival if the even doesn't sell out. I know I'm really stoked for the festival and I hope it can become a yearly pilgrimage, so please do your part for the metal community and spread the word (or buy a ticket!)

Electric Wizard Announces North American Tour...

12/17/2014

0 Comments

 
For the first time in over a decade, England's doom behemoths Electric Wizard will be invading North American soil. With support from Virginia's Satan's Satyrs, the mighty Wizard will be spreading misery and woe across the continent for three weeks beginning March 31 in Philly. Unfortunately, the closest show to Blog of Doom Headquarters is a Tuesday nighter in Chicago, but I'm going to figure out a way to see this tour. Electric Wizard remains the final band on my tour bucket list and I'm not too keen on waiting around another decade. Doom on. Destroy those who love God.

Guide to Ironfest V at The Southgate House Revival...

11/10/2014

5 Comments

 
Picture
The fifth installment of Ironfest, Cincinnati's premier 2-day rock festival, takes place this Friday and Saturday, 11/14 & 11/15, at The Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY. Ironfest was created to pay tribute to the late "Iron" Mike Davidson, a former local musician and supporter of local music, and is intended to help raise money for his family. As I intend to cover both nights of the festival here on The Blog of Doom, I've put together a handy reference guide to all of (most of) the weekend's featured bands. Tickets are only $5 for each night, which is an absolute steal for all of this fantatstic music. Doors open both nights at 6:30 and the music starts at 7:00. Tickets are available at the venue or can be purchased in advance here:

Karma to Burn Announces New Album & Euro Tour...

6/26/2014

Well, this came out of nowhere. I wasn’t even aware that Karma to Burn was working on a new album and now there’s news that the new record will be out later this Summer. Arch Stanton, the band’s first full-length release in 2 years, will be out August 19 on Faba/Deepdive Records. With seven brand new tracks and one unreleased number from the vaults, Arch Stanton will be the West Virginia trio’s first album since 2002’s Almost Heathen to feature exclusively instrumental tracks. Really looking forward to this one. In the meantime, you can stream the first single from the new album here: https://soundcloud.com/prescription-pr/karma-to-burn-57

In addition, Karma to Burn is heading overseas around the time of the new album’s release to tour the UK for a couple of weeks with Desert Storm. Hopefully they’ll follow that up with a US tour, but nothing is confirmed at this point.
