Wrecking Ball Metal Fest - Saturday December 12th 2020

 


The year may be coming to a close but the music continues to make its presence known, "We won't go quietly into the night without a fight."

Though 2020 was plagued with pandemics, riots, rigged elections, restrictions and the collapse of the modern world economy, the sound of music has weathered the storm around every turn. With being unable to perform live in most states, the rise of online streaming concert series has emerged as the next best option for both artist and fan alike.

Wrecking Ball Metal Fest is set to roll out Saturday, December 12th with the first band performing at 1pmET. The online event is being presented by Pennsylvania’s Keep it Metal Promotions, will be exclusively broadcasted by Rock Addict Radio and hosted by radio personality, DJ REM via the station's official website https://www.rockaddictradio.com/video-stream.php and their Twitch TV channel at https://www.twitch.tv/rock_addict_radio.

"Technology has created a unique opportunity to keep the music alive," says promoter and internet DJ, Billy Loney. "We are taking what we have been given and are making the most of it...music is much too powerful to take a backseat to any set of restrictions or pandemic."

Bands schedule to perform include:
Syteria (UK)
Strike Master (Mexico)
Corners of Sanctuary (US)
Agressor (Costa Rica)
Threatpoint (US)
The Recasts (US)
Seventh Chaos (US)
Powerless Rise (US)

Audience participants will have an opportunity to donate or "tip" the bands as links will be provided during the performance broadcast.

"The support has been great," added Loney. "As 2021 approaches we do hope to host more events like this...that is until restrictions are lifted and we can all get back to attending live shows and concert performances."

Additional sponsors for the event include Canadian PR firm, Infecting Cells, graphic designer, A Creation Productions, media firm, March Baby Media and artist interviewer, The Cosmick View.

King Sable: Nothing But The Truth (2024) - mini-review

Image
Swiss band King Sable are out with the album "Nothing But The Truth", and metal is the style explored on this production. The core foundation of this band is what I'd describe as a more contemporary take on the traditional heavy metal form, with a nice array of chugging guitar riffs and galloping riff and rhythm constellations being something of a mainstay. More distinct staccato riff and rhythm arrangements expand the boundaries somewhat though, and along with that we have the combination of more controlled and melodic lead vocals with a bit of a talk like mode of delivery alternating with more aggressive vocal displays that have a stronger attachment to the hardcore tradition. With liberal use of guitar solo overlays that adds a more distinct melodic touch to the proceedings that offset and contrast with the more aggro sometime vocal displays. An album to seek out by those who find the notion of melodic heavy metal seasoned with a bit of hardcore aggression to be an int...

The album "Chairman" dates back to 2020, and appears to be the most recent of his excursions as a solo artist. I was fairly impressed with this album when I gave it a more superf...
