Yesterday’s leg of the Summer Slaughter tour in Tampa, FL at the Ritz Ybor was delayed due to a gun scare. Apparently a girl overheard two guys saying that someone was going to start killing people during the upcoming Job for a Cowboy set and everyone was evacuated. The long story short is that everyone was evacuated while the cops went through the place and found nothing so they let everyone back in after about an hour. You can read the details here. The article is worth a once over if only for this description of the metal heads in attendance as “the black-shrouded concertgoers, many of them wearing T-shirts featuring such bands as Goatwhore or bearing such world views as “Living Hell.”

Band Spotlight
California thrash upstarts Warbringer have returned to settle the score and cement their long term legacy fully with sixth album Weapons of Tomorrow. "Firepower Kills" probably ought to open all their future shows, just a complete stage setter for chaos. "Crushed Beneath The Tracks" and "Power Unsurpassed" in particular show this band would have ruled 1988 with ease and contain maximum neck injuring/ fist pumping potential (along with notable Slayer-worthy wraith shrieking). I am not 100% on the semi-thin snare sound but it hardly distracts the band's performances are all monstrous on this bad boy. Exodus, Annihilator fans or of course fans of more new school speed thrash bands should get all over this one. \m/
What a bunch of panzies – scared of getting killed at a heavy metal show. Should watch MTV instead.
