It’s been a hot minute, but I knew that when Underoath put tickets on sale for a tour I was getting a ticket. Pleasantly, the band’s stop in my city came in plenty of time for me to love their latest album, Voyeurist. This show though, was filled with songs from all over their career which made it a really fun show to be at.

It’s that time again – new music! Several bands have put out new tracks recently, and I thought it best to let you know my opinion on them. Let’s dive in!
Read moreUnderoath – Voyeurist Album Review
Since Underoath’s return to the music scene, I’ve been living off of their 2018 release, Erase Me, but the wait is finally over and the band has blessed our ears with Voyeurist. This album seems to take all of the band’s influences over the years and combines them into one very cohesive and badass piece of music.

You read that right folks, over the weekend I attended and music and tattoo festival. Many tattoos were had, just not by me. But there was plenty of live music to make me feel like life is worth living again. Thankfully with some COVID mandates and me choosing to wear a mask all weekend, I felt like it was a relatively safe and very fun event! It was my first time attending, and thanks to some sheer luck, I ended up winning some VIP passes, so I got the whole dang experience! Let’s dive into what all went down!
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.

In honor of Avatar’s new release last, Hunter Gatherer, I thought it was fitting to revisit the drawing I did of the band late last year. Not only because it was my first time drawing the Swedish heavy metal band, but it was also one of the rare instances in the past decade where I’ve drawn something using color! And not pens! It was truly a record for the books. Anyways, expect an album review sometime this weekend, but in the meantime, enjoy this drawing!
Read moreAlbum Review: Silverstein, A Beautiful Place to Drown
I don’t know if I’m just not paying that much attention, but it seems like post-hardcore’s stalwarts, Silverstein, just keep cranking out albums at an insane pace. It didn’t feel like that long ago I was at Warped Tour having the band sign my copy of their latest release, Dead Reflection…but apparently, it’s been three years! Anyways, as I was finishing up a drawing, I popped in their latest effort, A Beautiful Place to Drown.
