2025 – Baltimore, MD

Hey baby, here is that concert review you wanted! Blessthefall are currently touring on their Gallows 2025 tour in support of their new album Gallows, their first album released in seven years, and they stopped to perform at Nevermore Hall in Baltimore, MD on 9/24/2024. Colorblind, Dark Divine, and Miss May I are the openers on this bill and I can’t think of a better way to warm up a crowd. Non-stop chaos, crowd surfers, jumping and headbanging are just a few descriptors for the evening. Blessthefall always puts on a phenomenal show and this night was not any different!

Concert Review: Summer of Loud 2025 @ York State Fair 7/19/2025 – York, PA

Heavy riffs, constant energy, and all of the pyro you can imagine – this was the Summer of Loud festival. On July 19th, I had the privilege to attend The Summer of Loud Festival at The York State Fair. Eight bands, four headliners, and unforgettable moments. This amazing festival featured Dark Divine, Alpha Wolf, The Devil Wears Prada, The Amity Affliction, I Prevail, Beartooth, Killswitch Engage, and Parkway Drive. This dream lineup destroyed the York State Fair and I am so glad I was able to witness it.

Concert Review: August Burns Red @ The Golden Pony 5/20/2025 – Harrisonburg, VA

To quote Tan and Handsome front man, Chris Oberholtzer, “August Burns Red at The Golden Pony… This… This is irresponsible.” As irresponsible as putting a band like August Burns Red in a venue capped at 190 people is, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. August Burns Red are currently on tour supporting Bullet for my Valentine and Trivium on their “Poisoned Ascendency Tour” and stopped to perform a one-off headliner at The Golden Pony in Harrisonburg, VA on 5/10/2025. They had support from local bands Tan and Handsome as well as VARA ALTA. The Golden Pony was the perfect set for a small and intimate show with the metalcore kings August Burns Red.

Concert Review: Spiritbox @ MGM National Harbor 4/11/2025 – Oxon Hill, MD

Spiritbox are currently on their “Tsunami Sea North America” tour with support from Dying Wish and Loathe. This tour stopped in Oxon Hill, MD at the MGM National Harbor and the high rollers were turned into Holy Rollers by the end of the show! With outstanding stage production, haunting lyrics, and a beautiful blend of brutal screams and harmonic melodies, this was definitely a show that had the crowd riding the wave.

Concert Review: August Burns Red @ Freedom Hall 12/9/2023 – Lancaster, PA

August Burns Red finished their Rescue & Restore 10 year anniversary tour with their annual Christmas Burns Red festival, held in their hometown of Lancaster, PA. Christmas Burns Red is a two day show with different bands and setlists each night! I was able to catch night two of this event and it was definitely an astonishing finale. August Burns Red had support from Kaonashi, Signs of the Swarm, Galactic Empire, Kublai Khan TX, and Between the Buried and Me. Between catchy riffs, brutal growls, mic spinning, and over 3000 people jumping to “White Washed,” it was definitely a night to remember!
