One more reason to hit the California Metal Fest on March 28th has just been given. Mighty thrashers Exodus have been confirmed. I would love to see Exodus and would attend just for them if i live in or near Anaheim. Not to much to add to that, just thought i would let ya know because that is a pretty big addition to the show. 

Again, I was roaming around the net and ran across some new tour dates over at Lambgoat. Converge are doing a few shows before they hole up in the studio for their new album. Dates are down below and they will be joined by Ceremony,Coliseum,Rise and Fall and Pulling Teeth and it looks like the last date will be shared with Genghis Tron and that is a show i would like to see but i can’t. That sucks for me but maybe you are from that area. If you are, get out and see them.

3/23 Allston, MA @ ICC Church
3/24 Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place
3/25 Cleveland, OH @ TBA
3/26 Lemoyne, PA @ Championship
3/27 Brooklyn, NY @ Europa
3/28 Richmond, VA @ United Blood Festival
3/29 Philadelphia, PA @ The First Unitarian Church w/ Genghis Tron

I was just roaming around Blabbermouth and ran across a headline that may just make my cruddy week and crappy month a little better. It was a headline indicating that the rumors and possibilities are very strong that Slayer will be taking Suicide Silence out with them for a summer tour this year. If you are into these two bands i really don’t need to say anything to stress how ridiculous that tour would be so i will just leave it at that. It isn’t official yet but it’s on the table and rumored to have strong truth to it. Slayer,Suicide Silence and bands to be named later as if they needed more.Needless to say i will follow this story and update on this as soon as anything else surfaces.

I recently reported on the free rock show coming up in Atlanta Georgia, The Scion Rock Fest. This show just got way better. The original lineup of bands has been updated and added to and this show is now officially stacked. It was already a stellar lineup but it is now officially insane and i cant believe they are giving the tickets away for free. The bands added to the show are Converge, Pig Destroyer,Septic Flesh,Coalesce,Trash Talk, Evil Army,Us Christmas,Gaylord, and Apocalyptic Visions. Again I stress to you this show is free and is being headlined by Mastodon, High On Fire and Neurosis and many other good bands. The ones i listed above are just the newly added bands. Tickets will be up for grabs starting at 9 a.m. on January 28th and the show will be taking place exactly a month later on February 28th. there will be a limited number of tickets as The Masquerade is not a huge place and this also means that if you get tickets you had better plan on getting there early well before the doors open up. You can find any additional information at the official Scion Rock Fest web site.
