Mr. Bungle recently announced a short fall tour with several shows hitting the east coast. The avant-garde thrash metal martyr’s will be kicking off the tour at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on September 5th. This is a dream show for me and anyone that calls themselves a “metalhead.” The band’s lineup consists of original members Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn, and Trey Spruance alongside Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo. Wow. That’s incredible.

Anyway, tickets for the show at Rams Head Live are available HERE. Tickets for all other shows on the fall tour are available HERE. Be sure to buy your tickets asap. I expect sold out venues and frenzied crowds. This tour will be historic. Come join us!

Blessthefall stopped to perform at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 8/20/2023. The band is currently on tour with Dragged Under, Kingdom of Giants, and Caskets. I have been a fan of Blessthefall since summer of 2013, when I saw them on Warped Tour. They are the band that I have seen the most out of all the concerts I’ve been to and every time has been better than the last. I was definitely fanboying out in the pit as I am as close to my favorite band as possible. What is even better, is they are playing their album “Hollow Bodies” cover to cover, which is my favorite album. This concert was chaotic, hot, sweaty, and forever memorable!

Anyway, continue reading below for more photos of Blessthefall and my full review of the show. Be sure to check out Blessthefall’s Official Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of John Krebs.

Underoath are currently on tour with The Ghost Inside, We Came as Romans, and Better Lovers, and performed July 29th at Pier 6 Pavilion, in Baltimore, MD. Fronted by Spencer Chamberlain, this Metalcore band put on an energetic show that made the crowd go wild!

Falling in Reverse came to the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, MD on 7/3/2023. The band is currently on their “Popular Monstour” tour and the supporting bands depend on the date! This date brought Crown the Empire, Slaughter to Prevail, and Ice Nine Kills. I have been a fan of Ronnie Radke and Falling in a Reverse for years now and was excited to be able to capture their performance. I might have had a fanboy moment once or twice in the pit as I was snapping pictures.

Puscifer are currently on tour and stopped to perform at The Lyric in Baltimore, MD on 6/1/2023. This was my first time seeing the band live. I must admit I was completely captivated by both the sound of the band and the live visuals that accompanied the music. Secret agents? Dancing aliens? Video vignettes? Check, check, and check. Bravo!

Puscifer will be making a stop at The Lyric in Baltimore, MD on 6/1/2023. The band, founded by Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and featuring British singer Carina Round with electro-wizard/guitar player Mat Mitchell, are touring behind their critically-acclaimed album, Existential Reckoning. Tickets for the show at The Lyric are available HERE.

Secret Agents. Dancing Aliens. Video Vignettes. Puscifer’s live outings aren’t really concerts but more of a music-meets-live theatre experience. As a writer recently said: “There are regular rock bands and then there is Puscifer.” Be sure to check out the Official Puscifer Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates.

Soulfly played a killer set at Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 2/16/23, and luckily I was there in the photo pit for the first three songs. I’m a long-time fan of Max Cavalera. Lost my shit at this show. The band absolutely destroyed the crowd. Brutal heavy metal music at its finest. Much respect.

Anyway, be sure to check out the official Soulfly Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. Continue viewing below for more pics from Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 2/16/2023. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.
