Saturday, May 4th, 2024, marked a night of unbridled energy and nostalgia as Terminal 5 in New York City played host to a powerhouse lineup featuring Armor for Sleep, Finch, and Bayside.

Embarking on a tour encapsulating both Colors and Colors II, Between the Buried and Me played to a raucous sold out crowd at Manhattan’s famed Webster Hall playing an album a night.

Thursday wrapped up the celebration of the 20th anniversary of their major-label debut War All The Time with a sold out performance at New York’s Irving Plaza with a rousing and energetic set to cap off a months-long run that began last summer.

On a cold Sunday night in January, Story of the Year brought the energy and fire to a packed house in Time Square to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal and platinum selling album, Page Ave.

As another year comes to an end, we are left with looking over this past year and the music that helped us through it.

Whitechapel opened up the sold out show bringing their three pronged guitar attack, with their layered sound adding some weight to their already meaty breakdowns.

Legendary death metal bands Cattle Decapitation and Immolation, supported by scene favorites Sanguisugabogg and local bruisers Castrator embarked on the Terrasitic Infestation Tour to take Warsaw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (not the one in Poland) by storm.

Post-black metal/shoegaze/genre bending band Holy Fawn recently brought their tour to Brooklyn Made, a relatively new venue which opened in 2021, with indie-emo band Caracara and post-hardcore/screamo/blackened shoe gaze band lowheaven as support.

Touring in support of their sixteenth(!!!) album, Chaos Horrific, Cannibal Corpse embarked on a nationwide trek alongside Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem, with a stop at Brooklyn Steel, bringing Canadian technical death metal band Gorguts and Colorado’s Blood Incantation along for the ride.

On a recent Sunday night in New York, people waited for hours in the rain waiting to see one of Denver’s hottest up and coming bands, Fox Lake, as well as the newest Japanese export about to take over the world, Hanabie.

On a pretty calm Tuesday night in NYC, Attila was out bring their brand of party metalcore out to liven things up a little.
