So this is going to be last show for a few months.HIGHER GROUND Friday,May 9th.MADE IN IRON will be playing first.That in itself is a rarity ,so all of you people who always claim its past your bedtime have no excuse now.We will go on between 8:45 and 9:00,PLEASE SHOW UP EARLY.We will play for only 75 minutes,so don't miss out.Its going to be all the best tunes and its going to be intense and focused.So many shows we have played are marathons ,and we either have to pace ourselves ,or start to tire out a bit.This one will be HIGH FUCKING OCTANE,start to finish.
So some backstory on this show.John A.K.A.Sicko Mcpain;A.K.A.Johan Sebastian Rock;A.K.A.The Thunder of the East,our beloved drummer and TRUE METAL maniac, is about to embark upon an epic quest in Europe for six months,where he will see many a rock and Metal festivals,not least of which will be Wacken open air in Germany.( for those of you who do not know it is MECCA for Metalheads).This year Wacken is being headlined by none other than the real Iron Maiden.
Anyway this is going to be his BIG send off show.He ( and Sheddy the M.I.I.Bassist) are in all three bands playing at this show.AMADIS ( in case you are not familiar) are a local original old school heavy metal band ,and sound kind of like Judas Priest meets Dragon force,and they wear leather head to toe.ARKAIN is an original thrash metal band composed of the afformentioned rhythm section,MADE IN IRONS singer,AMADIS rhythm guitarist,and guitarist Chris Hatley from NYC.So this gets a bit incestous as you can see.
Long story not so short all three bands are BLAZING & AMAZING,and if you are a metal fan of any caliber this one is NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
