This was not the case, as a GWAR “fan” that came on stage spewing his hatred for the new version of the band saying they aren’t as good as they used to be. I was just hoping they would give me and my camera a break and give me the first song to get some shots in before I fell victim to the slaughter. The venue was covered in black plastic and fans adorned in white t-shirts and goggles. I myself wasn’t sure on how they would start out. It’s another thing entirely to see them live and experience the guts, blood, gore, and good times that is had. I mean, it’s one thing to hear GWAR’s music on a record. The crowd without a doubt needed a break after this set and as soon as it did you could feel the anticipation build for what was to come. But Nekrogoblikon did what they came to do, and the night was not over yet… It’s been a few months since my ears have been so joyfully pummeled into submission and I feared that GWAR had nowhere to go after this set. Some highlights from their set were “Bones” and “The Magic Spider”. It is indeed possible and Nekrogoblikon pulled it off and took it to the next level. Yes, 6 guys on the stage at the same time at Mr. My second time catching this melodic death metal 6 piece. When the first chords were struck and John Goblikon hit the stage and laid out his best Jesus Christ pose adorned in his Sunday’s best white dress shirt and chinos, the crowd went insane. The stage was surrounded, and the buzz was heavy. Their newest album FEEL THIS released in June is some of their best offerings yet.Īfter a quick set change, I got the feeling that the next band Nekrogoblikon had landed and brought some fans in tow for support of their latest album, The Fundamental Slimes and Humours, released April 22’. The crowd seemed pleased, and I can attest, this is a band you do not want to miss live. The night started for me as Crobot took the stage and laid out some uncompromising riff laden high energy rock and roll. Let’s just say this assignment did not disappoint! It’s been a while though and I wanted to see what the new album, The New Dark Ages was about and the line up of bands had me stoked as well. Halloween show if my memory serves correct.
I myself have been to a few heavy metal invasions from our intergalactic overlords… I first jumped in the pit around 1997 at The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland. Some HAB’S were more prepared than others. Fans of new and old, piled in while giving up their best GWAR stories of shows from the past.
How does one prepare themselves for an Intergalactic Invasion of apocalyptic proportions that spews bodily fluids and killer heavy metal riffs? That was the question of the night as I walked around the crowd at Mr. GWAR WITH CROBOT AND SMALLS – PITTSBURGH, PA -SEPTEMBER 16th, 2022 After hitting Europe and Israel, the band will start a second leg on August 22 in Vancouver.īRINGING HEAVY METAL AND INTERGALACTIC DOMINATION TO THE BURGH’ So we take advantage of that.”ĪLICE IN CHAINS has just completed a short spring tour that finished up on May 19 in Philadelphia.
Regarding the five-year gap between records, Cantrell remarked: “We’ve been really fortunate in most of our career to be able to make music when we feel like it rather than having to be on somebody else’s schedule, which is really nice. The new LP follows up 2013’s “The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here”. There’s a lot of edgy stuff there, a lot of rocking stuff, a lot of weird stuff, and some pretty stuff in there too.” The title has not yet been revealed.Ĭantrell added about the new disc: “I wouldn’t say that the rest of the record sounds like, but that’s a good indicator of what the rest of the record kind of feels like. “The One You Know” is taken from ALICE IN CHAINS‘ upcoming sixth full-length studio LP, which is due out later this year. It’s a good aggro riff and it’s got the classic ALICE IN CHAINS chorus, with a weird kind of trippy middle part.” I was thinking kind of Bowie when I was writing it, a little bit, so it’s got kind of a metal ‘Fame’ shuffle to it, kind of almost. Cantrell explained: “It’s really aggressive. In the clip below, Cantrell explains his rig, how he got involved with amp guru Dave Friedman, and much more.Ĭantrell said in a recent interview with SiriusXM that ALICE IN CHAINS‘ new single, “The One You Know”, was inspired by legendary late rock artist David Bowie. Sweetwater‘s Nick Bowcott recently checked in with Jerry Cantrell ( ALICE IN CHAINS), one of the most distinctive guitarists to evolve from the Seattle music scene.
