Another year, another music festival! One of four for the year, to be precise. For me, anyway. Sonic Temple is a solid staple, and in its second year back since the pandemic, it’s maintained that title!

Sonic Temple 2023
After undergoing a name change from Rock on the Range to Sonic Temple for the 2019 edition, the pandemic then decided to shut it down for the next three years! And let me tell you what, that 2020 lineup was fire. But anyways, it’s back and I couldn’t have been happier this extended holiday weekend.

Sonic Temple is back! So you get two drawings from the vault (also, I’ve been too lazy to finish anything recently). Can’t wait to see Queens of the Stone Age for the first time and Avatar for probably the sixth 🙂
Read moreAvatar – Dance Devil Dance, Album Review
Similar to a lot of bands that released music during the heat of the pandemic, it feels like no time at all has passed since Avatar released Hunter Gatherer. But here we are, some two and a half years later and we are already being treated to another full-length album, Dance Devil Dance.

I feel like it’s been too long since I reviewed new music, but I haven’t really been in the mood to listen to new albums (new to me anyways) all the way through at the moment. Lucky for me, some great bands have released new songs and it’s definitely got me excited for their upcoming albums (and hopefully, tours!).

No, not the movie. Just Johannes Eckerstrom of the great band, Avatar, making a rad pre-show face. I absolutely had to draw it, and I gotta say…love how it turned out! Hope you can enjoy it, too!

Read moreConcert Review: Avatar – Age of Memories
Talk about a throwback! This last installment of Avatar’s Impossible Concert Experience threw us all the way back to the beginning stages of the band’s existence. Thus the name, Age of Memories. What was neat about this last leg is that almost the entire set list hadn’t been played in a live capacity for almost a decade! In fact, newest band member Tim (as of 2011) hadn’t played any of these before! That’s crazy.
Read moreConcert Review: Avatar Age of Madness
Last night’s entry into Avatar’s Impossible Concert Experience was Age of Madness, and it was probably the most hardcore experience yet! I say that because the two records that were performed for this installment were from Hail the Apocalypse and Black Waltz. These are definitely two of their darker albums, and there is a lot more screaming involved than any of their other releases. This also makes sense as to why this was my sister’s favorite of the shows so far.
