Three weeks ago, you may remember attending an all ages concert at The Oddfellows Hall featuring local death metal quintet The Bear Hunters and Halifax classic metal bands Sanktuary and Black Moor. It was a great show, but if you missed it, then good news, as all three bands will be at The Roosevelt Hotel TOMORROW for this week's metal night! This will be the first Thursday metal night at The Rosie with out of town bands since The Dayglo Abortions headlined in June, and the first one with four bands since the week after that show, so this will be a Thursday night not to be missed! This time however, Black Moor & The Bear Hunters will flip flop the headliner and third spots on the lineup, with Sanktuary co-headlining again. The opening band will instead be Shit Liver, marking the death metal trio's second show of three this week, and they'll fit well as openers! This show will have a $3 cover (it's worth every penny though), you must be 19 to attend, and Shit Liver will open the proceedings at 9:30 PM. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! It's awesome to see Sanktuary and Black Moor back so soon, and for $3 on metal night, how much more convenient could it be? I know this is short notice, but remember, this show is TOMORROW, and if you missed them three weeks ago, don't let this show slip by! We'll have more tomorrow in our weekend concert previews!
Also new for concerts is the debut of Muskegon hard rock quintet RedStone Riot, who will make their first ever concert stops in Sault Michigan this weekend! The new band from former Elipzis members Rachel Kiger, Ryan Harrison, and Wally David (plus members of Muskegon-area bands One Past Mars & Tracing Yesterday) will hit The Corner Pub Bar & Grill across the river on Friday & Saturday night for two nights of hard rocking originals and possibly covers! My source for this show is this blog entry on their website. No word yet on if any old Elipzis songs will make the setlist, but I do know that this will be the first time we'll see Rachel, Ryan, and Wally on the local stage since March, and it will certainly be interesting to hear the new band in action! A 21+ age limit can be expected, both shows should have 10:00 PM-ish start times, and there's no announced cover charge. Check the above links for more details! These shows should be really good, and I've heard very positive things about the new band, so don't miss RedStone Riot's debut this weekend! Again, stay tuned for more details on these shows tomorrow or Thursday when we preview the weekend's metal and hard rock concerts!
Thirdly today, here's a brand new original song from Sault Michigan/Grand Rapids metal quintet End of Existence, which is just their second original song featuring their full lineup. Uploaded onto their YouTube channel earlier today, it's entitled "Recurring Dreams", it's nice and heavy with lots of aggression with some nice melodies thrown in! Steve Giles' guitar work is really nice, and the presence of bass really helps their material! The video footage, which mixes what looks like surgical stock footage and heavy filters, works well, but doesn't give the vibe of the song to me. Promising song though, hopefully they have some more songs in the works, and now that they have a full lineup, maybe some live shows? Check out "Recurring Dreams" below!
And finally, local blackened doom metal band Woods of Ypres were featured in the Calgary-based webseries Extreme Metal Television's fourth episode, as posted onto YouTube on Monday! The piece, which begins at 4:40 in the video below and runs for about 4 ½ minutes, includes short interview clips with frontman David Gold, where he talks about the band's signing with Earache Records & the recording and release of the "Home" vinyl EP, along with assorted live clips from the band's May 19th show in Calgary and some assorted remarks and plugs from the series' host. Nice to see, but it's pretty short as a whole. Give the new Woods of Ypres interview a look below (along with pieces on Cephalic Carnage & Sacred Ally), and stay tuned for some more cool news from the band pertaining to "Woods V"!
That's all for today, but stay tuned tomorrow for weekend concert previews, especially pertaining to Hempfest! Not sure entirely how I'm going to approach this very busy weekend for preview purposes, but we'll work something out. Thanks everyone!
