THE GATES OF SLUMBER @ THE LARIMER LOUNGE-DENVER,CO. 4/01/10

The Gates of Slumber are coming to Denver! They’ll be bringing their traditional style of Doom Metal to the Larimer Lounge. Formed in 1998 these road warriors from Indianapolis have been touring non-stop for years, playing all over the world. Better known in Germany & most of Europe, they are touring for their 2009 release “Hymns of Blood and Thunder.” In my opinion, one of the years best metal albums. These members of “The Circle of True Doom” make this is a show not to be missed.

Headlining that night is Weedeater, sludge/stoner metal from North Carolina. They are self descibed “weed metal” for fans of Melvins, Down, Eyehategod & Crowbar.

Also playing is Black Tusk, a good thrash metal band from Georgia & Struck by Lightning crustpunxs from Ohio.

SOULFLY/PRONG @ BLUEBIRD THEATER-DENVER,CO. 4/25/10

Soulfly will be back in Denver for the first time since October 2009, playing there metal/Brazilian tribal/world music. Max Cavalera & the boys have a new album coming out in May/2010:  “Omen.” It is said they are going back to their roots and shouldn’t disappoint. Always a good live band, expect to hear some Sepultura songs & some of their classics. Also playing that night is Prong, industrial metal from NYC. Prong has been playing on & off since the mid-80’s influencing everyone from Trent Reznor of NIN to Jonathan Davis of Korn, they are now signed to Al Jourgensen’s label, 13th Planet Records. Also on the bill is Incite, a metal band known for the singer who is Max Cavalera’s step-son. And rounding things off: Rotting Corpse, a good, old-school thrash metal band from Dallas,TX.
