Even though I’ve seen this well-regarded metal band live twice in my life, I think this is the first album of theirs that I’ve actually listened to in full. In fact, the last full length album they released was seven years ago – I didn’t even have a blog then! But Avenged Sevenfold is back with Life Is but a Dream… and I gave it my full attention with zero expectations.

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 moreNew Music – Singles Edition!
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!).
Read moreBad Omens – The Death of Peace of Mind, Album Review
Since I was going to be seeing Bad Omens over this past weekend, I figured I should give their latest album, The Death of Peace of Mind a full run-through. I knew a couple of older singles thanks to my sister, but in looking at the set lists from other shows on the tour, this new album was going to be featured heavily.

Sad to say, but seeing Bad Omens is the penultimate concert I have lined up for 2022.
Read moreConcert Review: AFI
It’s been over four years since I’ve seen AFI in concert, and frankly, that’s just too long! But after seeing this tour rescheduled from last year it finally happened, and it was incredible. Just like they always are.
