SUMMARY:Metallica M72 Tour at State Farm Stadium Night 1
DESCRIPTION:Metallica formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and has become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history\, having sold 110 million albums worldwide while playing to millions of fans on literally all seven continents. They have scored several multi-platinum albums\, including 1991’s Metallica (commonly referred to as The Black Album)\, with sales of nearly 17 million copies in the United States alone\, making it the best-selling album in the history of Soundscan. Metallica has also garnered numerous awards and accolades\, including nine Grammy Awards\, two American Music Awards\, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards\, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009. In December 2013\, Metallica made history when they performed a rare concert in Antarctica\, becoming the first act to ever play all seven continents all within a year\, and earning themselves a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Metallica’s latest studio album Hardwired…To Self-Destruct was released on November 18\, 2016 on Metallica’s own Blackened Recordings record label and debuted at No. 1 around the world\, selling over 800\,000 copies worldwide in its first week. \n \n \nThe preeminent metal band of the early to mid-’90s\, Pantera put to rest any and all remnants of the ’80s metal scene\, almost single-handedly demolishing any notion that hair metal\, speed metal\, power metal\, et al.\, were anything but passé. Loathe to admit it\, the Texas band had in fact been one of those ’80s metal bands\, releasing fairly unsuccessful (and later disowned) glam-inspired music throughout much of the decade. The about-face came with the addition of vocalist Phil Anselmo\, and the key turning point was the band’s major-label debut\, Cowboys from Hell (1990). Pantera’s mainstream breakthrough came next with Vulgar Display of Power (1992)\, their second major-label album\, which thrust the band to the forefront of the metal scene\, alongside such veteran bands as Metallica\, Megadeth\, Slayer\, and Anthrax\, as well as fellow up-and-comers Sepultura and White Zombie. By the time Pantera unleashed Far Beyond Driven (1994)\, after two long years of touring\, they were the most popular metal band in the land: the new album debuted atop the Billboard Top 200 as its lead single\, “I’m Broken\,” was getting massive airplay. \nAt the height of their popularity and influence\, Pantera began to self-destruct. Less than two months after the release of The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) — an album ridden with allusions to drug abuse and personal destruction — Anselmo overdosed on heroin after a homecoming concert in Texas\, and as tensions rose between him and his fellow bandmembers\, he began engaging with a growing list of side projects that kept him away from Pantera. A live album\, Official Live: 101 Proof (1997)\, was compiled for release when it became evident that no new studio album was forthcoming any time soon. One final studio album did result\, Reinventing the Steel (2000)\, but that was more or less it for the briefly reunited Pantera. The bandmembers once again went their separate ways\, forming such bands as Damageplan\, Down\, and Superjoint Ritual. \nThe end of Pantera then became official on December 8\, 2004\, when guitarist Dimebag Darrell was murdered on-stage by a deranged fan. This much-publicized murder shone the spotlight back on Pantera for an extended moment\, and amid all of the emotional outpouring and tributes\, a consensus arose: in retrospect\, there was no greater metal band during the early to mid-’90s than Pantera\, who inspired a legion of rabid fans and whose oft-termed “groove metal” style bucked all prevailing trends of the day — from hair metal and grunge to nu-metal and rap-metal — and remains singular to this day\, as defined by the vocals of Anselmo as it is by the guitar of Dimebag. ~ Jason Birchmeier\, Rovi \n \n \nFirst impressions last a lifetime. Wolfgang Van Halen has prepared a lifetime to make his first impression with his solo band Mammoth WVH. The songwriter\, vocalist\, and multi-instrumentalist worked tirelessly on material that would become his debut album. Playing every instrument and singing each and every note\, his music presents a personal and powerful perspective\, balancing memorable hooks and tight technicality. As many times as audiences have experienced his talent alongside the likes of Tremonti\, Clint Lowery\, and of course\, Van Halen\, Wolfgang prepares to step into the spotlight with his own brand – Mammoth WVH – for the very first time now. \n“The name Mammoth is really special to me.” says Wolf. “Not only was it the name of Van Halen before it became Van Halen\, but my father was also the lead singer. Ever since my dad told me this\, I always thought that when I grew up\, I’d call my own band Mammoth\, because I loved the name so much. I’m so thankful that my father was able to listen to\, and enjoy the music I made. Nothing made me happier than seeing how proud he was that I was continuing the family legacy.”

Metallica’s latest studio album Hardwired…To Self-Destruct was released on November 18\, 2016 on Metallica’s own Blackened Recordings record label and debuted at No. 1 around the world\, selling over 800\,000 copies worldwide in its first week. \n \n \nFIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have amassed over 7.6 billion streams and 3 billion video views to date and have sold over 1 million tickets between 2018 and 2020 alone. Signed to Better Noise Music\, they’ve garnered 25 top 10 hit singles and 12 #1 singles and are one of the top global streaming acts in the hard rock space. Having become one of the most recognizable names in music\, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH frequently play all major festivals and sell out arenas around the world. Since their debut album\, The Way of the Fist came out in 2007 the band has released seven consecutive albums that were certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA\, as well as two chart topping Greatest Hits albums. In addition\, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH has earned numerous national and international awards and honors over the last decade\, such as the prestigious Soldier Appreciation Award by the Association Of The United States Army\, an honor bestowed upon only one other recording artist before them: Elvis Presley. Their 2020 album F8 was produced by Kevin Churko and debuted at #1 on Rock charts around the world with Top 10 Mainstream chart debuts in the USA\, Austria\, Australia\, Canada\, Finland\, Germany\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, the UK and more. F8 features #1 hit singles “Inside Out”\, “A Little Bit Off”\, “Living The Dream” and “Darkness Settles In”. The band is currently in the studio finishing their highly anticipated follow-up to F8\, to be released in Summer 2022. \n \n \nLike the undead slashers celebrated in their songs\, Ice Nine Kills return with The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood\, a sequel of gruesome movie-sized proportion to The Silver Scream. The new album carves out a fresh\, bloody homage to the VHS celluloid classics that possessed singer Spencer Charnas at an early age\, with a devilish new twist. \nIce Nine Kills make music both timeless and timely\, mixing metal\, hardcore\, and punk\, with accessible power. New anthems like “Rainy Day” and “Hip To Be Scared” demonstrate Spencer’s fascination with fright\, pop culture obsession\, and his expertise with inescapably wicked melodic hooks and clever twists of phrase. Producer Drew Fulk returned for Welcome To Horrorwood which includes cameos from members of Papa Roach\, Cannibal Corpse\, Atreyu\, Fit For A King\, and Senses Fail. \nDecadent\, devious\, and fiercely insane\, Ice Nine Kills celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges\, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on The Silver Scream and its sequel. The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Every Trick In The Book\, which brought the previous three records’ themes to new levels. \nThe band’s synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs\, INK built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers\, with theatrical shows\, high-concept videos\, and inventive band-to-fan communion.

SUMMARY:Ghost & Amon Amarth at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:GHOST continues to elevate & reaffirm its status as one of the world’s most esteemed & celebrated creative forces. Accumulating well over a billion streams\, the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock band continues to bring the “euphoric spectacle” (ROLLING STONE) of its live shows to ever-growing & increasingly impassioned crowds\, headlining arena tours including sold out shows from the New York’s Barclays Center to London’s O2 Arena. In March 2022\, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES reported that Ghost had “conquered metal & the charts” when its 5th album IMPERA debuted at #1 in a sweep of the US album charts\, entering the BILLBOARD 200 at #2 & bowing at #1 in the band’s native Sweden as well as Germany & Finland\, while cracking the top 5 in the UK (#2)\, Netherlands (#2)\, Belgium (#2) & more. Produced by Klas Åhlund & mixed by Andy Wallace — & feat. “Spillways”—hailed as a “sweetly constructed rock tune” by THE NEW YORK TIMES\, the #7 YouTube trending “Call Me Little Sunshine\,” & Active Rock #1 radio single “Hunter’s Moon” — IMPERA finds Ghost transported centuries forward from the Black Plague era of its previous album\, 2018 Best Rock Album GRAMMY nominee Prequelle—or as ROLLING STONE put it\, “Ghost predicted the pandemic\, Now the metal band is foretelling the fall of empires.” All in all\, the most current & topical Ghost subject matter to date is set against a hypnotic & darkly colorful melodic backdrop making IMPERA a listen like no other\, yet unmistakably\, quintessentially Ghost. \n \n \nFormed in 1992\, Amon Amarth became modern metal greats the hard way. The Swedes steadily built a formidable reputation as a ferocious live band and\, as the years passed\, were increasingly recognised for their recorded achievements. Breakthrough releases like 2006’s With Oden On Our Side and 2008’s Twilight Of The Thunder God\, cemented their popularity throughout the metal world. Jomsviking (2015) hit the #1 spot in Germany’s official album chart and swiftly became their most successful worldwide release to date. Amon Amarth return to action in 2019\, with their biggest\, boldest and most bombastic musical statement to date. Amon Amarth – completed by vocalist Johan Hegg\, guitarists Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg\, bassist Ted Lundström and drummer Jocke Wallgren – know that expectations for their next move are at an all-time high. The excellent news is that the band’s 11th studio album\, the aptly-named Berserker\, is guaranteed to have all discerning metal fans punching the air with joy. Today\, Amon Amarth stand tall and unassailable: over 25 years into a career that has seen them evolve from humble origins in the dark\, dank rehearsal rooms of their native Tumba to their current status as explosive festival headliners and one of the metal world’s most widely adored bands. All of this and more has been captured in the band’s recent live DVD and documentary\, The Pursuit Of Vikings: 25 Years In The Eye Of The Storm. \n \n

SUMMARY:CAVALERA + Exhumed & Incite at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Phoenix death/thrash metal act Cavalera Conspiracy\, which also operates under the moniker Cavalera\, was formed in 2007 by Brazilian metal legends and siblings Max Cavalera (vocals and guitar) and Igor Cavalera (drums)\, formerly of Sepultura. The group’s sound reflects the punitive\, blackened thrash of the brothers’ flagship band\, with added hardcore punk and groove metal elements. Between 2008 and 2017\, Cavalera Conspiracy issued four studio albums (Inflikted\, Blunt Force Trauma\, Pandemonium\, and Psychosis) before shortening their name ahead of the release of 2023’s re-recording of Sepultura‘s 1986 debut\, Morbid Visions. \nThe formation of Cavalera Conspiracy marked the conclusion of a ten-year feud between the Cavalera brothers\, who co-founded Sepultura in their native Brazil in 1984. Rounded out by guitarist Marc Rizzo (Soulfly) and bassist Joe Duplantier (Gojira)\, the band’s debut for Roadrunner Records\, Inflikted\, arrived on March 25\, 2008. Cavalera Conspiracy took a brief break as Max (Soulfly) and Igor (Nailbomb\, Strife) returned to their respective bands\, but they regrouped in 2009 for a European tour. The following year\, Cavalera Conspiracy went back into the studio to begin work on their follow-up album. In 2011\, the brothers released their second blast of groove metal heaviness\, the appropriately titled Blunt Force Trauma\, with the relentlessly brutal and more grindcore-oriented Pandemonium appearing in 2014. The similarly adrenaline-fueled Psychosis appeared three years later\, marking the end of Marc Rizzo‘s tenure with the group. Now operating as a duo\, the brothers elected to pare down their name as well\, releasing 2023’s Morbid Visions\, a muscular re-recording of Sepultura‘s classic though decidedly lo-fi 1984 debut album\, under the Cavalera banner. Later that year\, the duo issued a re-recording of Sepultura‘s 1985 EP\, Bestial Devastation. ~ James Christopher Monger\, Rovi \n \n \nSince the early ’90s\, San Francisco’s Exhumed have honed their brand of gore-obsessed death metal with a tongue-in-cheek flair and an overall musical approach often reminiscent of Carcass\, a band that they have frequently acknowledged as a primary influence. Diligently led by founding guitarist Matt Harvey\, they have endured constant lineup changes over the years. Their brutal riffs and horrifically grotesque lyrical themes only intensified as the years went on\, resulting in uncompromising efforts like 2003’s Anatomy Is Destiny\, 2011’s All Guts\, No Glory\, and 2022’s To the Dead. \nExhumed formed in 1990 with a lineup consisting of Harvey (guitar\, vocals)\, Col Jones (drums)\, Derrel Houdashelt (guitar)\, Jake Giardina (vocals)\, and Ben Marrs (bass). They made their first recordings in this formation\, including the Excreting Innards 7″ for Afterworld Records. Giardina and Marrs left the band within the next few years\, with Matt Widener (bass) and Ross Sewage (vocals) brought in as replacements. After recording the Horrific Expulsion of Gore demo (1994)\, Widener left and Sewage took over bass duties. This lineup eventually recorded a split-LP with the Ohio band Hemdale\, In the Name of Gore\, which came out on Visceral Productions in 1995 and featured an absolutely revolting album cover. \nSoon after\, Houdashelt left and was eventually replaced by Mike Beams. With this lineup intact\, they signed to Relapse Records and finally released their first official full-length\, Gore Metal\, in 1998\, with guitarist James Murphy (Death\, Obituary) at the production helm. Sewage left the band shortly after this record\, leaving the trio of Harvey\, Beams\, and Jones to record the follow-up\, Slaughtercult. The album was released on Relapse in 2000 and was enthusiastically received on the death metal scene. Exhumed supported the album with three coast-to-coast American tours and a European one\, where they co-headlined the Fuck the Commerce Festival in Germany and the Obscene Extreme Festival in the Czech Republic. In 2003\, they recorded the more progressively arranged — and most critically acclaimed — Anatomy Is Destiny\, which was released by Relapse. Bassist Bud Burke left the band before their tour and was replaced by Leon del Muerte. \nExhumed experienced another critical blow following their U.S. and European tours with the departure of founding member and drummer Col Jones. Rather than enter the studio without a permanent replacement\, they chose instead to release the compilation Platters of Splatter and toured using fill-in drummers. The band also eventually lost guitarist Mike Beams before ax-man Wes Caley and drummer Matt Connell joined the band permanently. This version of Exhumed decided to follow Metallica‘s concept of a covers album and issued Garbage Daze Re-Regurgitated in 2005; the band also assembled a concert film before disappearing from the scene for nearly five years. \nThe quartet of del Muerte\, Caley\, Connell\, and lone founding member Harvey (on guitar and vocals) spent a year writing and emerged with All Guts\, No Glory on Relapse in the summer of 2011. Returning two years later in a completely different configuration\, Harvey recorded the slow-grooved Necrocracy with a new rhythm section of Rob Babcock (bass) and Mike Hamilton (drums)\, and a former bassist\, Bud Burke\, playing guitar. In 2015\, with early member Ross Sewage resuming his role as singer and bassist and Burke moving to guitar\, Exhumed re-recorded their debut album and issued it under the title Gore Metal: A Necrospective 1998-2015. With the same lineup intact\, they produced the band’s seventh effort\, 2017’s Death Revenge\, again on Relapse. Eighth album Horror arrived two years later. Recorded at the band’s home studio\, the effort was raw and less complex than some of their earlier material. Harvey conscripted Mike Beams\, Leon del Muerte\, Matt Widener\, and Bud Burke to help flesh out the gore metal veterans’ unrelenting ninth LP\, To the Dead. ~ William York & Thom Jurek\, Rovi \n \n \nNow close to 15-years into a career where everything was earned and nothing was taken for granted\, INCITE bridges the gap between multiple crowds across various metal sub-genres. As renegade disciples of trailblazing architects like Pantera\, Slayer\, Sepultura\, and Machine Head\, INCITE raise the torch for trend-killing and hipster-smashing metal. INCITE is as much a part of the fabric of the style championed by Lamb Of God as the surge of newer bands like Power Trip. INCITE perfected their signature brand of extreme sounds playing shows with DevilDriver\, Crowbar\, Brujeria\, Soulfly\, Cavalera Conspiracy\, and Six Feet Under. This is a band who can open for Gorgoroth one night and Cancer Bats the next\, converting true-believers out of people who grew up on Deftones or Immortal. The band’s fifth album\, Built to Destroy\, is a visceral\, urgent\, voracious distillation of modern metal\, with reverence for the past\, produced by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan\, Suicide Silence) and mastered by Zeuss (Rob Zombie\, Hatebreed).

SUMMARY:Bruno Major at The Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:Britain’s Bruno Major splices classic singer/songwriter confessionals with sleek modern electronic production\, girding the entire enterprise with hints of soul. After building an audience in the mid-2010s with a song-a-month series\, he earned international attention with his debut album and its 2020 follow-up\, To Let a Good Thing Die. A new single\, “We Were Never Really Friends\,” appeared in 2023. \nBased in Camden\, London\, Major was trained as a classical guitarist and released a live EP — appropriately called Live EP — in 2014\, but he first received attention in 2016 when he set out to release a new song every month for a full year\, a project that would extend into 2017 and culminate in the arrival of the full-length A Song for Every Moon. He accompanied this steady stream of digital singles with regular live appearances in London\, sometimes opening for Lianne La Havas. By 2018\, Major had widened his touring circle to include U.S. appearances (including the Bonnaroo Festival) and a tour of Asia. Throughout 2019 and early 2020\, he issued several singles in advance of his second album\, To Let a Good Thing Die\, which arrived in June of that year. A three-year hiatus preceded the arrival of 2023’s lush and cinematic single “We Were Never Really Friends\,” which he followed with a spate of international tour dates. \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Eric Church + Jelly Roll & Paul Cauthen at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Eric Church’s most recent album\, his Heart & Soul three-part project\, is available everywhere now. The project features his latest Gold-certified No. 1 “Hell of a View” & recent Top 5 hit “Heart On Fire” as well as brand-new single “Doing Life With Me\,” impacting radio now. \nHe recently wrapped his The Gather Again Tour\, visiting arenas for an in-the-round show on the Billboard Music Awards’ Top Country Tour\, in addition to a recent headlining spot alongside George Strait & Metallica during the ATLive festival at Mercedes-Benz Stadium & his own headlining stadium shows at Milwaukee’s American Family Field & Minneapolis’s U.S. Bank Stadium. During 2019’s Double Down Tour\, he played nights of two unique shows in each market sans opening act. The tour featured a stop at Nissan Stadium in Nashville\, where he broke the venue’s concert attendance record with more than 56\,000 fans in attendance. \nA seven-time ACM Award winner\, four-time CMA Award winner & 10-time GRAMMY nominee\, Church has amassed a passionate fanbase known as the Church Choir as well as a critically acclaimed catalog of music. His previous project\, the Gold-certified Desperate Man\, earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. Prior releases include the Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me\, Carolina & Mr. Misunderstood\, the Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders & the 3x Platinum-certified Chief\, as well as 30 Gold\, Platinum & multi-Platinum certified singles. \n \n \nOutright genre-bending singer/songwriter Jelly Roll has quietly been building a remarkable career\, under the radar and on his own terms. Since his days selling his mixtapes out of his car\, he has constantly been releasing new music\, touring relentlessly\, consistently topping various charts\, engaging a rabid fanbase & creating videos that have amassed more than 2 Billion views on YouTube. He pairs deeply personal lyrics with music that blends Old-school Rap\, Classic Rock\, Country and Soul to create music that is therapeutic\, raw and tackles the heaviness in life. \nHis 2020 single “Save Me” — a confessional\, vulnerable expression of self-doubt set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights\, with more than 171 million views on YouTube and Platinum certification from the RIAA. Born and raised in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood\, the former addict and drug dealer released his album Ballads of the Broken in 2021\, ahead of his sold-out hometown show at the famous Ryman Auditorium\, which sold out in under an hour. Now after a history-making “breakthrough year” (American Songwriter)\, having just sold-out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena\, releasing the riveting anthem “Need A Favor” from his debut country album WHITSITT CHAPEL\, plus earning his first 3 CMT Award wins\, the reigning No. 1 of Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart for 25 weeks is well on his way to mainstream\, multi-genre stardom. \n \n \nPaul Cauthen kept the fires of old-fashioned outlaw country burning in the 2010s\, spiking his sinewy swagger with an undercurrent of gospel balanced by a hefty dose of midnight sleaze. Nicknamed “Big Velvet” due to his smooth baritone\, Cauthen may have been resolutely secular\, but he telegraphed those spiritual connections in the very title of his 2016 breakthrough\, My Gospel\, not to mention the testifying implied by the name of its 2018 successor\, Have Mercy. Unlike such peers as Sturgill Simpson\, Cauthen didn’t bend his country toward psychedelic rock\, nor was he a savvy Nashville operator along the lines of Chris Stapleton. He was a Texas outsider\, cutting his teeth in the early 2010s with Sons of Fathers before launching his own solo career with My Gospel\, an acclaimed debut that showcased his idiosyncratic take on traditional country. Cauthen broadened his horizons on Room 41\, the 2019 sophomore set that contained “Cocaine Country Dancing\,” a disco-fied single that brought him a wider audience and set him on a path to the satirical “Country as Fuck\,” the lead song from Country Coming Down. \nA native of East Texas\, Paul Cauthen was raised in Tyler\, Texas\, learning how to sing and play at the hands of his grandfather\, a songwriter from Lubbock who associated with that town’s local legends Buddy Holly & the Crickets. As he grew\, he was steeped in classic country and rock & roll\, but he found his way toward trouble as his adolescence gave way to young adulthood. After a brief stint in jail for marijuana possession and getting kicked out of college\, Cauthen turned to songwriting to stabilize himself. \nWhile residing in San Marcos\, Texas in 2010\, Cauthen ran into David Beck\, a singer/songwriter who shared a similar taste and sensibility. They quickly formed a duo called Beck & Cauthen\, switching their name to Sons of Fathers after alternative rocker Beck sent a cease-and-desist letter. Relocating to Austin\, Sons of Fathers recorded a debut album with producer Lloyd Maines\, which appeared in 2011. Sons of Fathers earned good reviews and climbed into Billboard’s Americana Top Ten with both their debut and Burning Days\, the sophomore set that appeared in 2013. The success started to chafe at Cauthen and he quit the group following a performance where the duo opened for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. \nFollowing the split\, Cauthen roamed Texas\, eventually settling in the Dallas area as he slowly started a solo career\, gravitating toward gutsy\, soulful country as he wrote and recorded the material featured on My Gospel. Appearing in late 2016 on Lightning Rod Records\, the Beau Bedford-produced My Gospel peaked at 50 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and he worked the album throughout 2017\, building up a fan base. \nCauthen recorded Have Mercy — a seven-song collection of originals that was somewhere between an album and EP — with Bedford at Modern Electric Studios in Dallas\, supported by the collective of DFW musicians calling themselves the Texas Gentlemen. Have Mercy appeared in June of 2018. Around this time\, Cauthen endured a difficult breakup with his girlfriend and moved out of his home to live out of Dallas hotel. Written during this tumultuous\, alcohol-fueled period\, his next album was titled Room 41 after his temporary home. \nRoom 41 featured “Cocaine Country Dancing\,” a country-disco stomper that steadily racked up plays on streaming services. In 2020\, Cauthen teamed up with Orville Peck as the Unrighteous Brothers for a pair of Righteous Brothers covers (“Unchained Melody\,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’.” He also released the solo singles “America” and “Bones” that year. Cauthen used the glitzy sound of “Cocaine Country Dancing” as a touchstone for “Country as Fuck\,” a glitzy sideswipe at bro country that provided the first taste of his third album\, Country Coming Down.

SUMMARY:Rob Zombie + Alice Cooper + Ministry & More at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:The longtime frontman for ’90s industrial superstars White Zombie\, New England-bred multi-hyphenate Rob Zombie went on to forge a highly successful solo career and later branched off into the world of film. A lover of B-movie camp\, horror nostalgia\, and psychedelic imagery\, his enduring 1998 debut Hellbilly Deluxe set him apart from contemporaries by balancing brutal metal power with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and sexiness that never took itself too seriously. Over the decades\, he remained a fixture in the U.S. Top Ten\, scoring additional hits with 2001’s The Sinister Urge and 2006’s Educated Horses. As his film career took off\, he released cult favorites such as 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses\, 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects\, and a pair of big-budget reboots for the Halloween series. In 2021\, he issued his seventh set\, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy\, and in 2022 he appeared on the soundtrack for the film The Munsters\, which he also wrote and directed. \nBorn Robert Bartleh Cummings on January 12\, 1966\, in Haverhill\, Massachusetts\, his eclectic style was solidified early on: not only was he raised by parents who had worked in a carnival\, but he was fascinated with horror movies from a young age. In addition to fostering his creative abilities in art school\, he worked as a bike messenger\, porn magazine art director\, and production assistant for the classic children’s TV series Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Around this time\, he founded the band White Zombie with bassist Sean Yseult. They remained an underground act for much of the late ’80s through a series of cult-favorite indie releases. It wasn’t until the success of their 1992 major-label debut\, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music\, Vol. 1\, that Zombie was launched to new prominence within the music industry\, allowing him to try his hand at animation (most notably a hallucinatory sequence of the feature film Beavis & Butt-Head Do America) and directing (he was slated to helm a third chapter of The Crow franchise\, working from his own screenplay\, but the studio eventually pulled out of the deal). \nIn 1998\, three years after the release of White Zombie‘s final studio album Astro-Creep: 2000\, Zombie made his solo debut with the album Hellbilly Deluxe. When it sold more copies in its first week of release than any White Zombie record before it\, he disbanded the group to move on as a full-time solo act\, quickly issuing Hellbilly remix album American Made Music to Strip By in the fall of 1999. Starting his own label\, Zombie-a-Go-Go Records\, he gave bands like the Ghastly Ones a home while creating demented mix CDs like Halloween Hootenanny. He delivered remixes to a number of soundtracks while recording a new song for the Mission Impossible: 2 soundtrack\, and rounded out his first major solo run with a Rob Zombie toy produced by Todd McFarlane. \nHe began to work on a feature film in April of 2000\, funded by Universal Studios after he designed a horror display for their amusement parks. The film\, House of 1000 Corpses\, was produced and edited\, but the studio backed out due to its own corporate standards. Zombie wrangled the rights to the film from the studio while taking out his frustrations on his next solo record\, The Sinister Urge. Again working with collaborator Scott Humphrey (who had produced his first record)\, he drafted in a metal superstar cast including Ozzy Osbourne\, Slayer guitarist Kerry King\, Mötley Crüe/Methods of Mayhem drummer Tommy Lee\, and Limp Bizkit‘s DJ Lethal. The record was another success\, leading to a huge Christmas tour with Osbourne at the end of 2001 and another solo tour in the spring of 2002. \nZombie sold House of 1000 Corpses to MGM for a Halloween release\, although offers from several smaller studios had to be refused because of the financial loss he would have taken. The film was a cult hit\, prompting Zombie to begin work on his next piece of celluloid\, 2005’s Devil’s Rejects. He returned to the recording studio in 2006 for Educated Horses\, which veered down a more experimental path that included blues guitar\, acoustic tracks\, and even a sitar. Despite debuting in the Top Ten of the Billboard album charts and receiving a Grammy nomination for “The Lords of Salem\,” it was his first album not to receive certification from the RIAA. A pair of best-of collections — including hits from both White Zombie and his solo discography — were released that year. \nAfter a stint as director and co-writer of the 2007 remake of Halloween\, Zombie Live\, his first live album\, was released in October 2007\, the same month that he began an arena tour with Ozzy Osbourne. The release of his next studio album was pushed back due to Zombie’s involvement with Halloween II and in 2010\, Zombie released Hellbilly Deluxe 2\, his first solo album written with the help of his band (which featured John 5 and Piggy D.). Intended as a sequel to his breakout solo debut\, it was supported by Zombie’s first world tour in a decade. Another remix album\, Mondo Sex Head\, arrived in 2012 and included reworkings from his back catalog by producers like Photek and the Bloody Beetroots. \nIn early 2013\, Zombie returned with his fifth studio album\, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor\, which would be Zombie’s lowest-selling album to date\, despite its Top Ten Billboard debut. Months later\, his film The Lords of Salem was released in theaters\, accompanied by a soundtrack featuring songs by Zombie\, Rush\, and the Velvet Underground. In the years that followed\, he returned his focus to his horror empire\, creating the Great American Nightmare haunted house attraction\, which incorporated characters from his cult films. He also began work on another movie\, the crowd-funded killer clown flick 31 (which premiered at Sundance in 2016). He also released his first concert film\, The Zombie Horror Picture Show\, in 2014\, followed by his second live album\, Spookshow International Live\, in 2015. \nZombie’s sixth studio LP\, The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser\, was released in April 2016. Featuring an abrasive\, industrial edge that hadn’t been heard since Sinister Urge\, Electric Warlock was produced by Zeuss and recorded at Goathouse Studios by Zombie and his band\, which included former Marilyn Manson bandmates John 5 and Ginger Fish\, as well as bassist Piggy D. That year\, he also released the film 31 and recorded his band’s set from Riot Fest for Astro Creep: 2000 Live\, which arrived in 2018. Months later\, he reunited with Marilyn Manson for a joint headlining summer tour\, which was kicked off by their collaborative cover of “Helter Skelter.” Zombie closed the decade with the final installment of his Firefly family film trilogy\, 3 from Hell\, which was released in late 2019. \nOn Halloween weekend 2020\, the next album era was launched with “The Triumph of King Freak (A Crypt of Preservation and Superstition)\,” the Grammy-nominated single from 2021’s The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy. Issued in March\, the album became Zombie’s seventh consecutive Top Ten on the Billboard 200. In 2022\, he produced\, wrote\, and directed the horror comedy film The Munsters and appeared on the soundtrack. ~ Neil Z. Yeung & Jason Ankeny\, Rovi \n \n  \n \nThe man (and the band) who first brought shock rock to the masses\, Alice Cooper became one of the most successful and influential acts of the ’70s with their gritty but anthemic hard rock and a live show that delivered a rock & roll chamber of horrors\, thrilling fans and cultivating outrage from authority figures (which made fans love them all the more). The name Alice Cooper originally referred to both the band and its lead singer (born Vincent Furnier)\, as they played dark\, eccentric\, psychedelic rock on their first two albums\, Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970). After a spell in Detroit where they soaked up the high-energy influence of the Stooges and the MC5\, Alice Cooper scored breakthrough hits in 1971 with “I’m Eighteen” and the album Love It to Death\, in which the group finally stumbled upon the formula that made them stars\, blending tough\, dirty\, guitar-fueled hard rock with Cooper’s sneering vocals and lyrics that were by turns relatable (“I’m Eighteen\,” “Body”) and willfully spooky (“Black Juju\,” “The Ballad of Dwight Frye”). Coupled with a live show that included snakes\, electric chairs\, fake blood\, and mock hangings\, Alice Cooper had something to offend everyone\, and from 1971’s Killer to 1973’s Billion Dollar Babies\, they could seemingly do no wrong. Following the commercial and critical disappointment of 1973’s Muscle of Love\, the Alice Cooper band broke up\, and Alice went forward as a solo act\, delivering a cleaner and more professional variation on the themes of his early ’70s hits\, while the band attempted to continue as Billion Dollar Babies\, with little success. Cooper’s glossy 1975 solo debut\, Welcome to My Nightmare\, was a massive hit\, and his shows became even more elaborate as he became a regular fixture on television\, but subsequent solo releases saw his following dwindle until 1989’s Trash and 1991’s Hey Stoopid\, where he blended his trademark sound with hair metal arrangements and production and gained a new audience. Cooper’s dedicated fan base kept him in the game long after his ’70s peak\, touring regularly and releasing albums like 2021’s high-spirited Detroit Stories and 2023’s tightly wound\, live sounding set Road. \nVincent Furnier formed his first group\, the Earwigs\, as an Arizona teenager in the early ’60s. Changing the band’s name to the Spiders in 1965\, the group was eventually called the Nazz (not to be confused with Todd Rundgren‘s band of the same name). The Spiders and the Nazz both released local singles that were moderately popular. In 1968\, after discovering there was another band with the same name\, the group changed its name to Alice Cooper. According to band legend\, the name came to Furnier during a Ouija board session\, where he was told he was the reincarnation of a 17th century witch of the same name. Comprised of vocalist Furnier — who would soon begin calling himself Alice Cooper — guitarist Mike Bruce\, guitarist Glen Buxton\, bassist Dennis Dunaway\, and drummer Neal Smith\, the group moved to California in 1968. There they met Shep Gordon\, who became their manager\, and Frank Zappa\, who signed Alice Cooper to his Straight Records imprint. \nAlice Cooper released their first album\, Pretties for You\, in 1969. Easy Action followed early in 1970\, but failed to chart. The group’s reputation in Los Angeles was slowly shrinking\, so the band moved to Furnier’s hometown of Detroit. For the next year\, the group refined their bizarre stage show. Late in 1970\, the group’s contract was transferred to Straight‘s distributor Warner Bros.\, and they began recording their third album with producer Bob Ezrin. With Ezrin’s assistance\, Alice Cooper developed their classic heavy metal crunch on 1971’s Love It to Death\, which featured the number 21 hit single “Eighteen”; the album peaked at number 35 and went gold. The success enabled the group to develop a more impressive\, elaborate live show\, which made them a highly popular concert attraction across the U.S. and eventually the U.K. Killer\, released late in 1971\, was another gold album. \nReleased in the summer of 1972\, School’s Out was Alice Cooper’s breakthrough record\, peaking at number two and selling over a million copies. The title song became a Top Ten hit in the U.S. and a number one single in the U.K. Billion Dollar Babies\, released the following year\, was the group’s biggest hit\, reaching number one in both America and Britain; the album’s first single\, “No More Mr. Nice Guy\,” became a Top Ten hit in Britain\, peaking at number 25 in the U.S. Muscle of Love appeared late in 1973\, yet it failed to capitalize on the success of Billion Dollar Babies. After Muscle of Love\, Furnier and the rest of Alice Cooper parted ways to pursue other projects. Having officially changed his name to Alice Cooper\, Furnier embarked on a similarly theatrical solo career; the rest of the band released one unsuccessful album under the name Billion Dollar Babies\, while Mike Bruce and Neal Smith both recorded solo albums that were never issued. In the fall of 1974\, a compilation of Alice Cooper’s five Warner albums\, entitled Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits\, became a Top Ten hit. \nFor his first solo album\, Welcome to My Nightmare\, Cooper hired Lou Reed‘s backing band from Rock ‘N’ Roll Animal — guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter\, bassist Prakash John\, keyboardist Joseph Chrowski\, and drummer Penti Glan — as his supporting group. Released in the spring of 1975\, the record was similar to his previous work and became a Top Ten hit in America\, launching the hit acoustic ballad “Only Women Bleed.” Its success put an end to any idea of reconvening Alice Cooper the band. Its follow-up\, 1976’s Alice Cooper Goes to Hell\, was another hit\, going gold in the U.S. After that album\, Cooper’s career began to slip\, partially due to changing trends and partially due to his alcoholism. Cooper entered rehab in 1978\, writing an album about his treatment called From the Inside (1978) with Bernie Taupin\, Elton John‘s lyricist. During the early ’80s\, Cooper continued to release albums and tour\, yet he was no longer as popular as he was during his early-’70s heyday. \nCooper made a successful comeback in the late ’80s\, sparked by his appearances in horror films and a series of pop-metal bands that paid musical homage to his classic early records and concerts. Constrictor\, released in 1986\, started his comeback\, but it was 1989’s Trash that returned Cooper to the spotlight. Produced by the proven hitmaker Desmond Child\, Trash featured guest appearances by Jon Bon Jovi\, Richie Sambora\, and most of Aerosmith; the record became a Top Ten hit in Britain and peaked at number 20 in the U.S.\, going platinum. “Poison\,” a midtempo rocker featured on the album\, became Cooper’s first Top Ten single since 1977. After the release of Trash\, he continued to star in the occasional film\, tour\, and record\, although he wasn’t able to retain the audience he’d recaptured with Trash. Still\, 1991’s Hey Stoopid and 1994’s The Last Temptation were generally solid\, professional efforts that helped Cooper settle into a comfortable cult status without damaging the critical goodwill surrounding his ’70s output. After a live album\, 1997’s Fistful of Alice\, Cooper returned on the smaller Spitfire label in 2000 with Brutal Planet\, and Dragontown a year later. The Eyes of Alice Cooper appeared in 2003 and found Cooper and company playing a more stripped-down brand of near-garage rock. Dirty Diamonds from 2005 was nearly as raw and hit the streets around the same time Cooper premiered his syndicated radio show Nights with Alice Cooper. Three years later he returned with Along Came a Spider\, a concept album that told the story of a spider-obsessed serial killer. In 2010\, he released the live album Theatre of Death\, along with a download-only EP of redone Cooper classics titled Alice Does Alice. 2011’s Welcome 2 My Nightmare\, a sequel to his 1975 conceptual classic of the same name (minus the 2)\, was recorded with longtime co-conspirator Bob Ezrin\, and featured 14 brand-new cuts that spanned multiple genres and relied on the talents of a host of previous members of the Alice Cooper band (including Steve Hunter)\, as well as a guest spot from pop superstar Ke$ha. The same year\, he was awarded the Kerrang! Icon Award. \nAdvancing years didn’t prevent Cooper from maintaining a hectic schedule\, and by 2012 he was touring with Iron Maiden and headlining Bloodstock Open Air. Aside from his musical pursuits\, he also starred in Tim Burton’s adaptation of Dark Shadows\, playing himself alongside Helena Bonham Carter\, Johnny Depp\, and Michelle Pfeiffer. He returned to touring in 2014 as the opening act for Mötley Crüe‘s final tour\, and the following year he unveiled a new supergroup called Hollywood Vampires\, which included Johnny Depp and Joe Perry. They subsequently released an album of rock covers. He reunited with Ezrin yet again for his 27th studio record. Paranormal was released in 2017\, featuring contributions from ZZ Top‘s Billy Gibbons\, Deep Purple‘s Roger Glover\, and U2‘s Larry Mullen\, alongside original bandmembers Smith\, Dunaway\, and Bruce. The album was also released in a special edition with a bonus disc of live material. Early the following year\, an EP was released\, centered around Paranormal single “The Sound of A\,” which included a handful of live cuts from his 2017 tour. In August 2018\, Cooper released A Paranormal Evening at the Olympia Paris\, a live album drawn from his European tour in support of the Paranormal album. A 2019 EP\, Breadcrumbs\, saw Cooper paying tribute to his hometown of Detroit with songs written about his early garage rock heroes. He continued the Detroit homage on his next full length\, 2021’s Detroit Stories. In addition to many new songs of his own\, the album included covers of Bob Seger\, Detroit indie mainstays Outrageous Cherry\, and the Velvet Underground‘s “Rock & Roll” presented in the style of Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels‘ 1971 rendition. The LP peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200 and at number seven on the Top Independent Albums chart. The following year saw the release of the concert album Detroit Stories/Paranormal/A Paranormal Evening with Alice Cooper at The Olympia\, Paris. In August of 2023\, Cooper released a new album\, Road. This set of new\, guitar-heavy tunes sought to capture the power his band had in an on-stage setting. In addition to the album’s live sound\, Road was held together by the loose conceptual theme of situations unique to the rock and roll touring life. The album came out concurrently with a tour Cooper was booked for supporting Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard\, and he had plans for a co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie later in the year. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Mark Deming\, Rovi \n \n \nBorn in 1981 in Chicago\, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen\, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days\, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however\, so did Ministry\, quickly developing a harsher\, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986)\, The Land of Rape and Honey (1988)\, and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992)\, Ministry hit an all time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total\, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. After an indefinite hiatus in 2013\, Ministry’s 2018 album\, AmeriKKKant\, continued to reflect Jourgensen’s views on the frightening state of society and politics. Ministry’s newest album MORAL HYGIENE is set to be released on October 1st\, 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records. \n \n \nAmerican hard rock outfit Filter crushes caustic\, head-rattling aggression into a melodic\, electronic-leaning industrial package\, bridging the worlds of alternative and metal. Emerging as one of the most popular bands in the mid-’90s post-industrial alternative scene\, they evolved from a Nine Inch Nails offshoot into a fully realized entity under the guidance of primary creative force Richard Patrick\, who was a part of NIN in their early days. Breaking into the mainstream with their 1995 debut Short Bus\, Filter made their contribution to the era with the enduring single “Hey Man\, Nice Shot” before expanding their creative scope and incorporating fresh elements for their highest-charting effort to date\, Title of Record. That album also spawned their highest-charting single with the surprisingly vulnerable ballad “Take a Picture\,” which peaked just shy of the Top Ten on the Hot 100. 2002’s The Amalgamut kept them firmly entrenched as rock radio favorites\, but as the landscape shifted into the 2010s\, fluctuating chart performance and sales created a lull\, with 2013’s The Sun Comes Out Tonight briefly pulling Filter to their best showing on the Billboard 200 in over a decade. At the close of the 2010s\, Patrick celebrated Filter’s ’90s peak with deluxe reissues of their first two efforts. Material from sessions intended as a follow-up to one of those albums\, Short Bus\, would wind up on their eighth album\, 2023’s The Algorithm. \nFilter came to life in the early ’90s\, created by vocalist and primary member Richard Patrick\, who had been a guitarist with Nine Inch Nails during that band’s Pretty Hate Machine and Broken eras. In 1993\, Patrick decided to leave NIN to form his own band. He met Brian Liesegang through a mutual friend and the pair began to record together. Patrick handled vocals\, guitars\, bass\, programming\, and drums\, while Liesegang covered programming\, guitars\, keyboards\, and drums. Since they had both experimented with electronics early in their careers\, the band’s initial sound was reminiscent of a more-muscular brand of industrial than NIN. In 1995\, after signing with Reprise\, they released their debut full-length\, Short Bus\, which was recorded at a small house on the outskirts of Cleveland. The album became a surprise hit and — thanks to the MTV and alternative radio hit “Hey Man\, Nice Shot” — was certified gold by the summer. Eventually\, Short Bus went platinum. In order to promote the record\, the duo recruited guitarist Geno Lenardo\, bassist Frank Cavanaugh\, and drummer Matt Walker and embarked on tour. \nTo keep interest stoked\, Filter also contributed a prolific string of tracks to cult favorite soundtracks\, delivering “Jurassitol” (The Crow: City of Angels)\, the Crystal Method collaboration “(Can’t You) Trip Like I Do” (Spawn)\, and “Thanks Bro” and “One” for a pair of X-Files compilations. Despite the band’s burgeoning status\, Liesegang departed in 1997 over creative differences. Patrick retained the Filter name for 1999’s sophomore release Title of Record\, which was also certified platinum and spawned an even bigger mainstream hit with the crossover Top 20 single “Take a Picture.” \nFilter’s third album\, The Amalgamut\, followed three years later\, after which the band went on a short hiatus while Patrick entered rehabilitation for addiction. Around 2005\, he announced the formation of a new band\, Army of Anyone\, which he created with former members of Stone Temple Pilots and David Lee Roth‘s touring band. However\, Patrick did not abandon his original group\, and Filter returned in 2008 with the emotional Anthems for the Damned\, dedicated to a friend who was killed in Iraq. The band’s first greatest-hits compilation\, The Very Best Things (1995-2008)\, followed in 2009. \nFilter’s fifth set\, 2010’s The Trouble with Angels\, marked an unapologetic return to the sound of Short Bus. The Trouble with Angels performed well enough — it debuted at 64 on the Billboard 200\, reaching number seven on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart — to attract the attention of the hard rock label Wind-Up\, which released the band’s next album\, the Bob Marlette-produced The Sun Comes Out Tonight\, in June 2013. The album incorporated an updated sound\, adding some harmonies and electronic elements close to musical progeny Linkin Park. Sun Comes Out was also their highest-charting album since 2002. While recording a follow-up\, Patrick’s supporting band changed again and he was joined by Oumi Kapila (guitar\, programming)\, Ashley Dzerigian (bass)\, Chris Reeve (drums)\, and Bobby Miller (keyboards). In January 2016\, Filter returned with the single “Take Me to Heaven\,” which was included on their seventh LP\, Crazy Eyes. While charting modestly on the Billboard 200\, the album performed well on the U.S. Alternative and Hard Rock charts. \nIn 2018\, over two decades after Filter’s breakthrough\, Patrick reconnected with Liesegang to craft a sequel to Short Bus\, which they referred to as “ReBus.” Various setbacks eventually forced Patrick to take another approach\, but to celebrate their debut all the same\, an expanded edition of Short Bus was released with a handful of remixes. The following year\, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Title of Record\, Patrick also reissued the album\, bundling it with the fan-favorite soundtrack contributions from that era. A smattering of material from those 2018 Short Bus sequel sessions were eventually revived for The Algorithm\, the band’s eighth set. Released in August 2023\, the LP featured singles “For the Beaten” and Obliteration.” ~ Neil Z. Yeung \n \n

SUMMARY:Escape The Fate at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In their almost 20 years as a band there have been many changes to the lineup of ESCAPE THE FATE– with vocalist Craig Mabbitt holding down vocals for 15 of them. In preparation for their upcoming album –OUT OF THE SHADOWS– they have reached peak stability and happiness. They may come at the music from different directions\, but both Ortiz and Mabbitt agree on the importance of the band’s live presentation. “Whether it is 500 or 50\,000 people in the room\, we BRING IT\,” says Mabbitt. Ortiz agrees and adds “the honor of the ability to do this for a living for our amazing fans is not lost on us. We are really grateful.” Gratitude and humility are the buzzwords for the new ESCAPE THE FATE. \nAnother thing that is new is the official addition of longtime bassist\, Erik Jensen\, to the lineup. TJ Bell has been ‘the glue’ that held the chaotic lot together in his nearly 10 years with the band. Matti Hoffman is the coffee-chugging\, guitar-solo-writing\, high-energy new guitarist taking on his duties while Kevin ‘Thrasher’ Gruft explores the world of production. \nLaying themselves bare for the fans\, it is a re-invigorated ESCAPE THE FATE on OUT OF THE SHADOWS. New label (Big Noise – run by longtime collaborator producer John Feldmann)\, new bandmates and a new lease on life for each of them\, the only thing that has not changed is ESCAPE THE FATE’s love for their fans and determination to give them the very best of which they are capable. \n \n \nPost-hardcore band Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.) is back with a new full-length album\, ‘DESTROY REBUILD\,’ their first release since 2011’s acclaimed self-titled debut album. The new record offers listeners the uniquely nostalgic D.R.U.G.S. sound they have been craving while also exploring new territories making ‘DESTROY REBUILD’ the perfect progression and exciting new chapter. The aggressive melodies are paired with low-tuned guitars and introspective lyrics to create the nostalgic alternative rock sound that we all grew up with and have come to crave. \nTo capture this sound\, Owens connected with A-List producer Howard Benson whose past work with My Chemical Romance and The All American Rejects heavily influenced the modern alternative rock world. Benson’s raw talent for recording helped shape the structures and harmonies of the album. Owens found this collaborative process cathartic and embraced his newfound flow of creativity. \nOwens’ knack for creating sincere lyrics shines through while touching on topics like destiny\, perspective\, and redemption on ‘DESTROY REBUILD.’ It is a physical manifestation of the course he has taken in his musical career and encapsulates each step along the way. It is a bright reflection of one’s life and actions\, and it encourages the listener to do the same in their own life. \n \n \nPoint North is a rock band from Los Angeles\, California.

 Contact: pointnorthband@gmail.com \n \n \n“Listen to the lyrics\, they’re going to make you feel something… ” – Mixi \nThat something is the essence of Stitched Up Heart – a band built around the strength that comes from realizing we are the only ones that control our lives\, and focused on the hope that reminds us there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnel. It’s something heavy and powerful\, and it is something undeniable – Mixi’s voice taking flight amidst anthems of self-awareness that bridge the unrelenting confidence of In This Moment’s Maria Brink and the soulful transcendence of Adele. \n“When I formed this band I was depressed and going through heartbreak. The name is supposed to give people strength and courage\,” professes the frontwoman in a warm and certain tone. “We all go through things that make us think we can’t go further but\, especially when times are bad\, I want people to see that time will pass and it will get better. The hopeful lyrics on this record are on purpose – I’ve been living in the dark for too long\, it’s time to come into the light. You need to pick yourself up because nobody is going to do that for you. There are some sick people out there\, but there is beauty in everyone – and you need to love yourself before you can stitch that heart back up.”

SUMMARY:Motionless in White at Mesa Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:In 2006\, Motionless In White materialized out of Scranton\, PA with an inimitable conjuration of sharp metallic rock\, industrial\, magnetic melodies\, and larger-than-life visual imagery. The quintet—Chris Motionless [Vocals]\, Ricky Olson [Guitar]\, Ryan Sitkowski [guitar]\, Vinny Mauro [drums]\, and Justin Morrow [bass]—quietly clawed their way to the forefront of hard rock\, gathering nearly half-a-billion cumulative streams and views to date. Following the success of Creatures [2010] and Infamous [2012]\, Reincarnate [2014] sunk its teeth into the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200\, bowing at #9 and capturing #1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Both Graveyard Shift [2017] and Disguise [2019] cracked the Top 5 of the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. Along the way\, they sold out headline tours and supported everyone from Slipknot and Korn to Breaking Benjamin. Not to mention\, Motionless In White have collaborated with Jonathan Davis of Korn\, Maria Brink of In This Moment\, Dani Filth of Cradle Of Filth\, Tim Sköld of KMFDM\, Caleb Shomo of Beartooth\, and more. The five-piece kept busy throughout 2020 with the Deadstream event performance of Creatures for its decade-anniversary\, a cover of The Killers’ “Somebody Told Me\,” and the standalone single “Creatures X: To The Grave.” Now in 2022\, Motionless In White are set to return with their new album Scoring The End of the World which sees them perfecting the poetically pummeling sound they patented. \n \n \nFor A Tear in the Fabric of Life\, Knocked Loose wanted to do something different. Or they may have been forced to. With quarantine upending their extensive touring schedule — “we’ve kind of been consistently on the road since 2014\,” says vocalist Bryan Garris — the group found themselves in early 2020 sequestered near Louisville\, in Oldham County\, Ky.\, where they’re from. By June\, they were hunkered down in a cabin in Pigeon Forge\, Tenn.\, focused on writing a concept album. By the end of September they had finished recording. \nWhat they came up with is a six song-EP that expands on the narratives hinted at on A Different Shade of Blue\, their 2019 full length\, and grows beyond them sonically. It’s the band’s most dynamic and contained offering to date\, and a balancing act: a mid-length EP with grand ambitions and scope\, one full of new sonic elements and a cohesive aesthetic that hangs onto Knocked Loose’s trademark anthemic delivery. \n \n \nAn uninhibited eight-stringed dual barrage of frenetic riffs and dynamic chord progression is exactly what the crushing new AFTER THE BURIAL delivers with pinpoint precision. This highly anticipated new offering is quickly going to raise the bar for all others within the metal genre as this group effectively unleashes a frenzy of jaw-dropping dual guitar dynamics that is backed by a captivating energy and groove resulting in an overall unrelenting output of punishment. ATB is hell-bent on forging their own unique path within the extreme metal genre and they are well on their way to that very goal. \nThis is an extreme metal hybrid that is a voracious assault on all the senses forcing your brain to fire on all cylinders in order to process the amount of material that is currently being pounded into your ears. This is thinking man’s metal and it’s not for the weak minded. \nThe tech-wizardry is amped way up\, the breakdowns are massive and face-melting and the vocal delivery is the most devastating yet. Already lauded for their technically impressive yet well structured style of songwriting\, AFTER THE BURIAL certainly takes things up a notch or two with this newest outing. \n \n \nAlpha Wolf have spent the past few years growing\, learning\, understanding. Taking lessons from past mistakes\, and accepting that which cannot be changed. 2017’s Mono saw Alpha Wolf instantly which from that small band from Burnie in Tasmania\, to a band that was on the lips of heavy music fans the world over. Then their follow up single Black Mamba caught the attention of SharpTone Records\, who joined forced with Australian label Greyscale Records to deliver Alpha Wolf to the world with their new EP Fault. Since then\, the band has had their first taste of international stages as part of the Impericon Festival tour through Europe alongside new label mates Emmure. Every night the band won over new fans\, fans already hungry for the band’s return.

SUMMARY:Corey Taylor + Wargasm & Luna Aura at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Corey Taylor redefines what it means to be a Renaissance Man. In the span of a year\, he’ll go from fronting Grammy Award-winning hard rock leaders Slipknot and Stone Sour to penning a New York Times-bestseller to acting in a film. No matter what he does\, he always manages to connect as well. You’ll hear him not only because he’s typically the loudest one in the room (which doesn’t hurt his cause either)\, but because he’s also got something to say. \nNow approaching two decades\, Slipknot’s rise is legendary. In addition to notching a 2005 Grammy Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” for “Before I Forget\,” the group has achieved four multi-platinum albums with .5: The Gray Chapter fast approaching gold status. They’ve headlined sold out tours globally as well as numerous festivals Rockstar Mayhem Festival (twice)\, Rock on the Range\, Download (U.K.)\, Rock In Rio (Brazil)\, Soundwave (Australia)\, and Slipknot’s very own Knotfest\, in the U.S.\, Japan and Mexico. Simultaneously\, Stone Sour built a legacy of their own. The band’s canon includes two gold-selling albums\, a platinum single in “Through Glass\,” as well as the sprawling two-disc epic House of Gold & Bones Parts 1&2\, which even encompasses an acclaimed graphic novel series of the same name for Dark Horse Comics. Everybody from Dave Grohl to Travis Barker and Tech N9ne have sought Taylor for collaborations. \n \n \nWargasm (stylised as 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐒𝐌) are a British electronic rock duo from London. Formed in 2018 by musician Sam Matlock and model Milkie Way\, they have released 11 solo singles including “Spit.” which has gained 5 million streams on Spotify\, and over 400 thousand views on YouTube. Alternative Press listed them as a defining part of the 2020s wave of nu metal\, and NME listed them as one of 2021’s essential emerging artists. The pair also took home “Best UK Breakthrough” at The Heavy Music Awards in 2021 and have received widespread acclaim from Kerrang! and Revolver. Their debut full-length release\, Explicit: The Mixxxtape\, was released on September 9\, 2022. \n \n \nGenre-bending alternative powerhouse LUNA AURA is hell bent on paving her own path. The independent singer-songwriter\, producer\, and triple threat delivers songs that are brimming with messages of rebellion\, feminism\, and individuality. \nLUNA\, who began penning songs and performing at age 14\, has already shared stages with The Killers\, K.Flay\, Muse\, Weezer\, Garbage\, P!nk\, Odesza\, and more of music’s biggest names. She has spent time on the festival market\, playing KAABOO\, Lost Lake\, So What Music Fest\, EMERGE and many others. Her work and artistry has been featured in PAPER\, GQ\, Teen Vogue\, NYLON\, MTV\, VH1\, Ones To Watch and more. \nThe LA-via-Phoenix native draws on childhood influences like Garbage\, NIN\, Hole and Gwen Stefani. Her latest work is fresh\, provocative\, and bold. Perfectly matched with her vibrant\, in-your-face\, live performances. \nAURA is set to release her third EP “THE FICTION” in September 2023. To hear more\, tune in to Rock This\, New Noise\, Walk Like a Badass\, All New Rock\, Totally Alt\, Rock Rising\, Fierce Femmes\, Pulp\, and more… \n \n
