The Metal Band Amadis positively jumps through your speakers. The mix by Egan O’Rourke and James Murphy’s mastering bring a rich, punchy character to the music, where classic meets modern while balancing homage with innovation. The kind of consistency bands like White Wizzard achieve, only Amadis has a steady core lineup, all of whom bear pseudonyms and specific adornments.

It was 7:45 PM. The entire day had been full of torrential rainfall and potholes converted into puddles. However, sunset comes late now that we’re nearing the summer solstice and Helios decided to give us a little visit before he rested for the night. So now, at quarter of eight, as I walk into Higher Ground in South Burlington, VT, I can see a faint rainbow. Any symbolism in that? You tell me.

Looks like Canada’s loss is Vermont’s gain. And who the hell steals passports, by the way?!

Baroness ruled the Mastodon headlining show at Higher Ground on Saturday April 24th. And although I understand that Mastodon and Between the Buried and Me are bigger selling entities, I felt as if Baroness was the only band that seemed genuine in their performance. This is not to say the show wasn’t fantastic—because it was. However, I think there is something to be said for musicians that are jaded by their fame. Sometimes it shows.
