All That Remains and Hollywood Undead – Clifton Park
Northern Lights in Clifton Park NY had itself a sick little rap rock, metalcore sandwich this past Friday, July 22nd , with the metal All That Remains sandwiched in between the rap based Hyro Da Hero and those California bad boys, Hollywood Undead.

OTEP, BLACKGUARD, DESTROPHY, SISTER SIN, ONE EYED DOLL – Syracuse NY
REVIEW BY: HEATHER PENFIELD MACNEILL | PHOTOGRAPHS BY: NADINE SWIGER One-Eyed Doll, The Cosplay – Anime influenced duo hailing from Austin Texas kicked off the show, looking like life sized “Living Dead Dolls” with a guitar and drum kit on stage.

There are few bands out there that can honestly say that they put the same amount of brutal, skull crushing energy into a 200 person venue as a 20,000 person venue, and yet Combichrist is just one of those rare bands.

Retro metal mayhem hit the Webster Underground in Hartford, CT on May 2, 2011, when Holy Grail and Cauldron came calling. It may have been a sleepy Monday night in town, but that didn’t stop the bands from putting on a stellar performance.
