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
The current "it" darlings of tech, ARCHSPIRE return with Bleed The Future! This band has not lost their edge like many others caught in a dragon chase for commercial appeal, instead absolutely destroying it on their latest release. Only Obsolete and Ophidian I even come close recently to pulling off shit this crazy and Archspire's "Drone Corpse Aviator" by far led the pack for the fastest chops freak out of 2021, while still containing some very dynamic calm between the storm, majestic guitar parts as well. I am honestly just thrilled for these dudes that they have pulled off such a bad ass follow-up to the hard to top Relentless Mutation (2017). This moment was worth the wait and the future will take your pound of flesh one way or the other. Get on board and hold fast!
What a bunch of panzies – scared of getting killed at a heavy metal show. Should watch MTV instead.
