Thriving in the mosh pit environment, all the Yeti needs for sustenance is metal.

Last year I made an effort to get out to every single live show that caught my eye and this year I find myself in the biggest concert drought of my adult life. Things were a bit different this year due to a certain virus impacting every aspect of our lives. I think it may have even influenced my choice for favourite album art of the year... #Germophobe<br /><br /> While all has been relatively well at Yeti HQ, I am desperately looking forward the days that I can feel the bass drum in my chest and clash with my brothers and sisters in the pit once again! There's been a silver lining to this madness however as 2020 was a year of live streams, drive in concerts, and metalhead innovation at its finest with some of metal's greatest talents taking to platforms like Twitch to connect with fans and create new avenues for support with no touring on the horizon. There's a reason we are the dominate species on this planet and we will weather this storm.<p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p> Some fantastic metal albums came out this year! The underground continued to spew out wicked new releases with bands like Cryptic Shift, Undeath, Sweven, and Odious Mortem really catching my eye along with many new devastating death metal releases across the spectrum. So many bands delivered huge this year and there were certainly many front runners for AOTY depending on your taste. For me personally this list changes depending on my current state of mind but The Ocean Collective, Ulcerate, Intervals, and Eternal Champion absolutely crushed it without a doubt. We also got killer albums from metal giants like Napalm Death,
Annihilator, Paradise Lost, Vader, Incantation, Benediction, Sepultura, Lamb of God, Testament, Ozzy, and Dark
Tranquility. We even got some new Deftones and on top of all this, Carcass released an EP this year which could be an omen of things to come! <br /><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"> Sadly though we lost way too many legends this year. Rest in peace Sean Malone, Sean Reinert, Reed Mullin, Neil Peart, Riley Gale, Eddie Van Halen, Pete Way, Peter Green, Brent Young, Lee Kerslake, Frankie Banali, Gordon Haskell, Alex Trebek, Mitch, Merlin and every other metalhead off to the great gig in the sky. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBAmna1a3OAEuHlJiaH2GFtAc4Mmyhftdpw81o4srnadAdynqWZFM85peETDUmbnNpboXucM625W7pQRlaAnFwSjQZLFWQAgCO9W8zqcYT2l_EAtvMpi159xRy5DX0wsOTcc90_2ErGCo/s1024/jeep.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBAmna1a3OAEuHlJiaH2GFtAc4Mmyhftdpw81o4srnadAdynqWZFM85peETDUmbnNpboXucM625W7pQRlaAnFwSjQZLFWQAgCO9W8zqcYT2l_EAtvMpi159xRy5DX0wsOTcc90_2ErGCo/s320/jeep.jpg" /></a> </p><p style="text-align: left;"> I don't have much to report on this year for live shows with a everyone in the same boat of disappointment for cancelled or rescheduled festivals and shows. Missing the Mayhem/Abbath tour as well as the "evening with" double set Between the Buried and Me show hurt the worst for me I think. I did manage to get out to the Metallica drive in concert "<i>PANDEMICA</i>" and while it was nice to get out on a summer night to blast metal with friends outside of my living room, the pre-recorded show paled in comparison to some of the live streams we got this year. Speaking of live streams, god damn we had some gems. I watched Between the Buried and Me play Colors in its entirety sitting in a lawn chair on the edge of a lake in Northern Ontario. While I think every band gave us some sort of stream, some of my favourites were from BTBAM, Devin Townsend, Blood Incantation, Temple of Night, Lamb of God, Tesseract, and Obituary. </p><p style="text-align: left;"> Overall, it's been one hell of a year for the human race and I find myself more than ever relying on the raw power of the music I love to keep me going. I hope everyone reading this is making out okay, and if you're not, keep holding on because sunny days and muddy festivals are on the way. Plague aside, it was another incredible year for metal releases. We all have a lot to look forwarrd to next year and all I can say is that the first mosh pit back is going to be an <span style="font-family: verdana;">ABSOLUTE MASSACRE</span>!! In the meantime, here are 30 of my favourite metal albums of 2020!! Cheers to every metalhead supporting underground music during these difficult months as we wait for the return of live shows and normal life! <b>If we all mask up when needed and wash our dirty-ass hands, maybe we can have some live music sooner rather than later!!

The last time we checked in I had made the effort to go to every metal show big or small that caught my eye. It led to a wicked year full of metal, mosh pits, and all around good times with friends! 2020 was set to be another great year with an amazing crop of shows lined up... and here we are in the dying days of August with my first show opportunity a physically distanced drive-in with lots of wicked face masks and the faint smell of hand sanitizer on the breeze. PANDEMICA!! <br />
<br />
All has been well at Yeti HQ but the loss of live music has taken a larger tole on me than I expected. So many amazing shows have been cancelled and I am eagerly awaiting reschedule date for the ones that are hoping to continue. When I caught wind of the Metallica drive-in show, the decision was pretty simple to grab a ticket for a car full. Something different and a night out is exactly what everybody needs right about now! The show was filmed a week or so ago and set to play all across North America and elsewhere in one glorious metal event! A desperate attempt to capture the connections and power of the live experience.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xUkYWP3PNaXgY1HT0lwPQnulnkXbcTEfv_jtKnKGFS6vqS6049mhFCAXks6-GGm0M61YxkeUWrq4CjIy-0UxUq2IR3tBYzirFelqzGYCuHIgcWPN9RPX5ZE-BoC4f0j9Ks6ruzutZygx/s1600/jeep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xUkYWP3PNaXgY1HT0lwPQnulnkXbcTEfv_jtKnKGFS6vqS6049mhFCAXks6-GGm0M61YxkeUWrq4CjIy-0UxUq2IR3tBYzirFelqzGYCuHIgcWPN9RPX5ZE-BoC4f0j9Ks6ruzutZygx/s320/jeep.jpg" width="240" /></a>The entire Squatch family was looking forward to the loudness so I borrowed an elder-squatch's kick ass Jeep with a fully stacked stereo system to make the most of the night. We rolled into the Starlight Drive In around 8:45 and drove through a few rows of cars and trucks lined up on the mounds, all setting up their mosh bubbles with physically distance polls marking where to park. The opening band could have been a better choice but I understand where they were going. I will not deny that Three Days Grace put on a wicked high energy set; easy to rock out and have a good time to for sure. <br />
<br />
Metallica took the stage (screen?) after a classic Ecstasy of Gold intro highlighting all appropriate PPE and black and white long shots of the filming location. They opened with Hardwired to Self-Destruct and then continued with a very satisfying set list full of classics and a few modern hits. I was really happy to hear songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls, Seek and Destroy, Wherever I May Roam, Fade to Black, and One... but I started a micro sized jeep pit with the Yeti clan for CREEPING DEATH, MASTER OF PUPPETS, and BAT-TER-RY! I of course kept rocking to tunes like Fuel, Sad But True, Unforgiven, and Moth, but when it came to the closer I would have enjoyed a little bit of out of the box thinking instead of the radio's favourite song Enter Sandman. I would have loved to hear Ride the Lightning, Trapped Under Ice, or any other song..<br />
<br />

The show was very well done and it felt quite personal. James spoke to us as our sunset synced up with his mentioning that it was "Good to play again". The sound came through AMAZING in the jeep and we supplied the bass for a few rows. The band sounded great and they played as if they knew we were all watching, calling for the crowd where you'd expect and answering with a trademark "yeah!". There were distant cheers and honks between songs and I even caught a few other people chanting DIE for Creeping Death!! There were clouds of funky smoke, bootlegged shirts, lighters burning out car windows for the deep cuts, and lots of fellow metalheads just making the best of the situation.<br />
<br />
I think this may have just made me miss live music even more though and as it only left me wanting more (just like every other live show). A huge thank you to the Metallica boys for trying to give us some shred of normalcy for concert goers in the pandemic. Other bands like Between the Buried and Me have been streaming live shows which offers another great way to connect with bands these days but leave it to Metallica to do it bigger. A big screen live stream would be the next level here!! Cheers to every metalhead out there waiting for the return of shows and please continue to respect your regions pandemic response. <b>If we mask up and wash our dirty ass hands, maybe we can have some live music in the years to come!</b><br />

With an undying cold and savage bitterness, black metal is music for the frozen soul and provides the perfect soundtrack for such an occasion. Keeping true to the evil themes the bands also put on a food drive and unwrapped toy drive during the show to donate to local charities. I love metalheads... The show was at a small bar in the west end called Tail of the Junction, which is cool spot for a drink and catch some tunes. The bars unforgiving brick walls were excellent for the sound and set an appropriate backdrop for the mood.<br />
<br />
The night opened with Totonto's What Remains, as they rocked out with some high energy tunes and some wicked proggy guitar parts. They had a lot of spunk and delivered some quality jams. Next up was Jinn Arcana who almost gave the bartender a god damn heart attack when they opened their set with a 3 minute prayer to the dark gods complete with hoods, skulls, the satanic bible, a dagger, and the ominous chime of the cymbals from the bands drummer. Jinn Arcana play some down tempo raw as hell material laced with moments of dank unholy grimness.<br />
<br />
Things cranked up a notch as Bloodless Child from London, Ontario set up and unleashed their blackened death metal madness on the group of gathering metalheads and bar patrons just trying to watch the hockey game... They played as a trio for the show with one insane drummer and two guitar leads. They were relentless with brutal riffing and kicked some serious ass! The ambulance flying by at high speeds during their set synced up a little too well.<br />
<br />
Temple of Night were my main reason for coming out to this show. They are an emerging black metal band from Niagara Falls who play an insidious mix of atmospheric and symphonic black metal with a more traditional tone in their song structure and overall aesthetics. They opened with their single "Secret Lord of All" and followed it up with two songs that I was hearing the first time. Temple of Night were absolutely dialed instrumentally and they had incredible stage presence with enough fog and cloaked corpses to make a graveyard jealous. On top of the swarming guitars and devastating and complex drumming, the vocal range provided is impressive with savage growls and shrieks backed up by live orchestral vocals from the keyboardist. Where so many bands would go the route of backtracks, Temple of Night show what they are made of and give the full live experience. The set was short with the band still gearing up towards a launch off demo or EP hopefully in the near future. In the meantime enjoy some of their tunes below and check out a few photos from the night! Cheers to all the bands that played and all the metalheads who came out to celebrate the longest night of the year!<br />

Well here we are again. Our lizard brains stuck inside our primate bodies have circled the nearest star as our metal hearts keep beating and craving more delicious depravity. I think there will be no argument that 2019 was a landmark year for both mainstream and underground metal music. While the last few years have been blazing with awesome material, the stars aligned this year and we got a flurry of new and exciting bands and a heavy dose of annihilation from old favourites and legends to shake things up. Possessed, Nocturnus, Nile, Devin Townsend, Amon Amarth, Candlemass, Dream Theater, Darkthrone, Baroness, and Bodom all put out albums. We even got a bloody TOOL album!<br />
<br />
A lot happened this year in the realm of metalheads. 2019 was the year of 100 Batushka's, as a seeming endless stream of drama climaxed with Bartushka cancelling the <i>Hospodi</i> tour and Team <i>Panihida</i> landing some heavy blows in response. The excitement didn't end here. Arch Enemy made a bunch of photographers mad, Dee Snider fought some Australian political asshats, black metal became even more of a cartoon thanks to Belzebubs, Slipknot fired their drummer and got new masks, Tool upset pop fans, Metallica got kinky again, and Chris Barnes is probably still angry about something as you read this. All the while over we are one step closer to the singularity with an AI dubbed Relentless Doppelganger currently streaming self generated technical death metal on youtube that makes Archspire sound like Baby Metal.<br />

The Toronto metal landscape has changed forever with the local gems Coalition and Stained Class closing their doors for good. The global metal landscape will also never be the same with Slayer playing their "final" live show and bringing an entire era to an end. Fuckin' Slayer weren't the only bands to call it quits with Brain Drill also hanging up their instruments, but all in all we gained more bands than we lost this time around the sun. I also want to extend a massive cheers to the metalheads we lost along the way; RIP Timi Hansen, Bruce Corbitt, Karl Bareham, Larry Wallis, Shane Bisnett, and all the rest off to Valhalla. Cheers to the metalheads still fighting the good fight and especially to the ones who need the support of their fans and friends!<br />

I went to a lot of live shows this year! Every show that caught my attention I made an effort to make it out. Sleep is for the dead. I took my son to his first Iron Maiden concert, I moshed with an alien to Blood Incantation and two thonged menaces at Rivers of Nihil / Nekrogoblikon, and I saw Between the Buried and Me TWICE! There are too many memories to list here but a few of my favourites shows of the year belong to Cryptopsy, Alien Weaponry, Tool, Chainbreaker, & Tomb Mold! It's been a wild ride full of amazing music and some gnarly mosh pits with good friends!<br />
<br />
You will see that most of my list is death metal peppered with a few other genres. It was a tough choice for top spot, but my favourte album of 2019 goes to SMOULDER! Not only do they have some of the most kick ass cover art of the year, the riff from Sword Woman has been stuck in my head for over a year. Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring is not to be missed by any self respecting metalhead! Tomb Mold takes the silver as my favourite death metal release and 1349 the bronze for slowly managing to turn me to the even darker side. Check out all of my favourite releases of the year below and make sure to check out the ones you haven't heard yet! Thank you to anyone that takes the time to read this and I hope you have a metal as hell 2020! <b>Metal Yeti /../;,,;/../</b><br />

From their unapologetic album art, to their lifestyle choices and lyrical content, they strike a chord with the unsettling reality we find ourselves living in. Metal has always been about looking into the eyes of the demons that haunt us and harnessing that power. Cattle Decapitation expose a modern frustration with our current societal trajectory. Their latest release, '<b>Death Atlas</b>' warns of the ends of humanity and helps provide the tools to process the situation. The only way we can fix out problems is by facing them head on!<br />
<br />
Last night was Toronto’s turn for the stacked Genocidal Tendencies Tour. Unfortunately, this tour has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Full of Hell had their van and gear stolen and last night Author & Punisher couldn’t make it to the show due with break down issues. None the less the devastation must go on. I just missed Vitriol, but I arrived at the Opera House right as the legendary Atheist took the stage. They’re old school death metal and hardcore attitude was great to get the energy up for a Wednesday night. It was nice to bask in some good old Florida death before cranking up the notch for a more modern headliner.<br />
<br />
Cattle Decap showed a lot for love to Canada during their set and the fans reciprocated. They opened with the first several songs off 'Death Atlas', <i>“Anthropogenic: End Transmission”</i> and <i>“The Geocide”.</i> They did have a mix of older songs with <i>“A Living, Breathing Piece of Defecting Meat”, “Forced Gender Reassignment”, “Mammals in Babylon”,</i> and <i>“Plaugeborne”</i> absolute crowd pleasers to be expected. You can tell an new album is damn good when even with the material so fresh, the crowd sings loudly and rages in the pit to all the right parts. 'Death Atlas' is another fantastic release from this killer band. Cheers to the bands that played, the ones that wished they could, and all the crazy animals in the pit! Check out some photos and video from the night below!

Early fans of the band expect a heavy, raw, and visceral experience, while other fans expect the heavy progressive elements to drive things along. They've been busy touring lately but their latest run has them paired up in a progressive metal powerhouse with Intervals to get things started and Chon as a co-headliner. Stopping in my neck of the woods in the middle of their tour run is an opportunity I can not resist.<br />
<br />
Anytime Between the Buried and Me makes a stop in southern Ontario I make an effort to see them! Intervals is another band I've been a huge fan of for years, especially with their home base in Toronto. I first heard Aaron Marshall's guitar talk at a live show with Northlane in 2013, and their early EP's "In Time" and "The Space Between" completely blew my mind. Since then, I've been loving the wild and more joyful progressive metal tangents they've been exploring on their latest few releases. Chon is a band I have not explored in much depth before this tour, but I can see why they are driving the ship this time around.<br />
<br />
Intervals opened the night to an eager hometown crowd. These guys are top notch instrumentalist and they proved it again last night. Opening with some amazing material off their latest and last few releases, they turned up the dial with the final few songs coming off their beloved "In Time" EP from the early 2010's. They woke the pit up with Alchemy and Mata Hari, amping the crowd to acceptable proportions for such a night.<br />
<br />
Every BTBAM show is a god damn experience but last night was something special with the band able to take some liberties with their set list, free of album release stipulations and with very prog focused tour mates. I deliberately avoided looking at the set list before the show to keep it a surprise and I wasn't disappointed. Opening with ALASKA, they sent The Phoenix into an absolute stupor. They followed up in style with Ants of the Sky bleeding directly into Prequel to the Sequel with a some guest vocals from the Chon crew. Not having Dustie present for the Colors 10 year anniversary tour hurt, so this was a treat. Playing into the proggy atmosphere of the tour, we went on an Ecotopic Stroll before blasting off into Parallax territory with Autumn and Extremophile Elite. They closed the set with Blot, Glide, and Voice of Trespass which again sent the pit into overdrive.<br />
<br />
Chon took the stage next and put on one hell of a show. This was my first time experiencing this band and I liked what I heard. Intricate guitars and percussion, uplifting melodies, and some mind altering moments are what these guys do best. The crowd was 100% on board with the band, singing the instrumentals as if they were vocal tracks and moshing as a juxtaposition of tone. I didn't know the material, but I had a wicked time none the less. Cheers to all the bands who played and a shout out to the animals in the pit as per usual! Check out some photos and video from the night below!!<br />

The Last Atonement Tour with Immolation and Blood Incantation keep the trend going, absolutely annihilating Lee's Palace last night. Immolation are a death metal staple, but Blood Incantation offer something a bit different.<br />
<br />
Immolation are veterans of death metal. They released their first demos in the end of the 80's and have put out 10 full length albums of pure old school death metal since then. Blood Incantation on the other hand started up around 2013 and take a more modern stance, injecting heavy atmospheric pieces into a mix of technical as hell and old school styles. Crushing the senses with thick soul melting progressions before blasting into light speed riffage and drumming that drags your mind through brutal alien worlds; a highly enjoyable experience!<br />
<br />
Local beauties' Human Compost started off the night and definitely made a few more fans in the process. Lee's Palace was filling in steadily as they blasted the crowd with their brutal blend of death grind. I took the opportunity the stand in the growing merch lines with eyes on a new Blood Incantation shirt and patch! It was nice to see such a heavy turnout for the local opener.<br />
<br />
I've been waiting to see Blood Incantation since 2016's Starspawn graced my ears. Their trippy blend of doom elements and ferocious death metal makes for some thick devastating atmospheres only breathable by the metalhead species. They started off the set with "Slave Species of the Gods", and "The Giza Power Plant" off their soon to be released album and followed it up with some gems in "Hidden Species" and "Hovering Lifeless". Their extraterrestrial brutality beamed an alien directly into the pit, starting off the evening mosh. I'm not joking. Moshing with an alien as they closed the set with "Awakening From the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Reality (Mirror of the Soul)" is why I do what I do!<br />

— Heavy Metal Yeti (@HeavyMetalYetii) <a href="https://twitter.com/HeavyMetalYetii/status/1187583374162087938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 25, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> I was chatting with some friends out front of Lee's when I heard Immolation take the stage. With a quick sprint to the pit, Immolation were already into their destructive currents. They played an absolutely dialed set with a great array of material. The pit wasn't packed but it was full a some good friends and a few spirited bastards. While the moshing was erratic for a few moments here and there, tracks like "Immolation", "Dawn of Possession", "Burn With Jesus", and "Swarm of Terror" got the crowd moving sufficiently. They played a lot of material off their latest album Atonement and announced to the crowd there will be a new album next year!<br />
<br />
The LAST Atonement Tour makes a bit more sense as hopefully next time I see them will be with some new brutal material. Other than the alien mosh, another highlight of the night was shaking the hand of Blood Incantation's Paul Riedl. He is in some amazing bands and packs a hell of punch on guitar and vocals! Cheers to all the bands and all the crazy animals who helped keep the pit going for such a godly showing of death metal. Check out some videos and photos from the night below! <b>/../;,,;/../</b><br />

Last night was frigid as hell as the 30th Anniversary Slowly We Rot Tour rolled through Toronto with Obituary and Abbath headlining the night and Midnight as well as Devil Master in support. Obituary has put out a lot of wicked metal in their career and are widely credited as death metal pioneers (of the Florida variety). Slowly We Rot is just as devastating today as it was on release. Tracks like Internal Bleeding, 'Til Death, and Immortal Visions are knuckle dragging, belligerent death metal at its finest.<br />
<br />
I unfortunately missed Devil Master but made it right in time for Midnight, who's masked faces supercharged our spirits with good old reliable speed metal! Toronto loves its speed metal and Midnight payed homage to bands like Razor, Exciter, and even moderns bands like Chainbreaker.<br />
<br />
Abbath look the stage as the fog machines began to pump out a thick smokey atmosphere. I've been waiting to see Immortal (err Abbath...) for years now. He has an incredibly fun energy for their grim as all hell take on life. From all the banter with the crowd, to the amazing facial expressions, and not to mention the to the master black metal riffage, Abbath and the gang did not disappoint. They played a mix of new material and even a bit of the Immortal discography with Tyrants, Warriors, and Winterbane a few of my favourite moments!<br />
<br />

There was appropriately lots of material off Slowly We Rot with Chopped In Half, Godly Beings, and Suffocation some of the definite highlights. There was some material from other records as well with a few good ones from Cause of Death, turning us inside out in the process... Closing with Slowly We Rot was an excellent choice (the only real choice for this tour) and the pit agreed thoroughly, exploding in size and energy as the riffs started punching us in our slowly rotting faces.<br />
<br />
I never miss an opportunity to see metal legends, so getting Abbath and Obituary on the same bill was a god damn treat. Gods of Black and Death metal in one room is a no brainier. Cheers to all the crazy animals I clashed with in the pit (I am bruised as all hell today! /,,/) and an ever bigger cheers to all the bands on this tour. 30 years of death metal is certainly something to be celebrated. Definitely make it out to this one if you can, and enjoy being CHOPPED IN HALF!<br />

I never miss a good opportunity to unite with my viking brothers and sisters for a good clash and some beers over an evening of metal. As with most metalheads, I've been a big Amon Amarth fan for years! Much of my heritage is from Norway and they strike a perfect chord between the best aspects of melodic death metal and some of the most interesting mythology and lore in human history. I would have come out for this reason alone but with such a stacked bill I did my best to crash the doors.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgbb9HAWnXuK2D9_A1F2jTT67p5-eR3lsmGQeXWlEtEt8_fFsCl1rwckJa-tNWinanMl-lo77cHjU8sFDWblrT4EJB0M-jhi9HAUF0qSpVghl-5C2rSytnXXlIXknd1JGKi2JgWBKF3CH/s1600/Amon+Amarth+2019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgbb9HAWnXuK2D9_A1F2jTT67p5-eR3lsmGQeXWlEtEt8_fFsCl1rwckJa-tNWinanMl-lo77cHjU8sFDWblrT4EJB0M-jhi9HAUF0qSpVghl-5C2rSytnXXlIXknd1JGKi2JgWBKF3CH/s400/Amon+Amarth+2019.jpg" width="320" /></a> I met up with some good friends and fellow viking soldiers near the end of Grand Magus's set. They opened the night hard and fast with a tremendous display of power and brutality. The crowd was growing fast and the drinks were flowing as their set closed and At The Gates took the stage. Playing a generous mix of old and new material, I was amped to hear songs like "Slaughter of the Soul", "Cold", and "Blinded By Fear". While it was obvious many were saving their energy for the battle to come, they still did a great job stoking the crowd even further.<br />
<br />
By the time Arch enemy took the stage there wasn't an inch of breathing room left as I forced my way towards the pit! I haven't seen this band since Angela was at the helm, but I was blown away by Alissa White-Gluz's energy and power on stage. Not to mention fucking Jeff Loomis... What an absolute beast. Most of the material was from their latest albums with Alissa but the pit kicked it up a notch to "My Apocalypse" and even more so for their encore of "Nemesis". Arch Enemy are wicked and still put on a hell of a show.<br />
<br />
Amon Amarth took the stage like an out of control fire burning a freshly pillaged village. Opening with "Raven's Flight" and the foundations were nearly ripped off with the push towards the front line of the stage. They delved into a mix of songs from the last decade of material, with a focus on material from their latest release "Berserker". We tried to send people up for crowd surfing but their legs were stuck in the crushing masses. Tracks like "Deceiver of the Gods", "Guardians of Asgard", "Crack the Sky", "Shield Wall", and "Twilight of the Thunder God" drove the pit into an absolute stupor, with drinking horns, cloaks, tunics, and massive motherfuckers committing acts of carnage in every direction!<br />
<br />
They closed the night showing a lot of respect for the crowd and fans, clearly acknowledging the battle that just took place! On top of a dialed performance from the band, the stage was full of live sword fights, powerful gods, and deadly sea monsters! Overall this was an unbelievable night of metal! This tour should be a priority for every metalhead in its path! A massive cheers to the bands and especially all the crazies I clashed with in the pit throughout the night! Sam Dunn even made an appearance! Check out some photos from the madness below!<br />

This show instantly caught my eye a few months back with a stacked line up and a few of the bands on my absolutely must see list. I have seen Revocation a few times but playing "The Outer Ones" in its entirety with Conjurer, Psycroptic, Voivod, and Skeletal Remains at their back? This tour showcases five of my favourite releases of 2018 all in one place with The Outer Ones, Mire, The Wake, As The Kingdom Drowns, and Devouring Mortality all on my<a href="https://heavymetalsasquatch.blogspot.com/2018/12/heavy-metal-yetis-best-metal-albums-of_9.html"> 2018 AOTY list</a>! This tour is a no brainier if its coming through your area.<br />
<br />
I basically crashed the doors of the Opera House when it was time for the show. I met up with some good friends and we braced ourselves for the what was before us. Conjurer started things off and delivered the devastation in full capacity. Their chunky and heavy as hell riffs shook the place to its core with an emotional and no holds bar performance. Screaming the lyrics so loud they didn't even need a mic for a portion and ending with the bassist jumping into the crowd to amp the pit up to satisfactory carnage. Conjurer did not disappoint! Skeletal Remains played next and kept the fury going as the Opera House filled in fast with battle jackets and a sea of band shirts.<br />
<br />
The Tasmanian terrors of Psycroptic took the stage by force delivering a mix of songs off their older and more recent albums, with <i>"Cold"</i> being a highlight of the set for me. Lead singer Jason Peppiatt looked like a shark pacing back and force, eyeballing the crowd and demanding energy from the pit. I love front-men like this. Psycroptic cranked the crowd up a notch and set the tone perfectly for the main event yet to come. Voivod are Canadian gems and they got a warm welcome last night, although it did seem that most were not familiar with the material. Regardless, they lit the place up with old school jams for the "moshers", the "headbangers", and the "rock and rollers".<br />
<br />
The Opera House was buzzing as Revocation started their chaotic decent into the void. Starting from the opening track and working their way towards <i>"A Starless Darkness", </i>they did exactly what they said they'd do... and god damn did they do it in style. The pit churned like a maelstrom of lovecraftian horrors in response to energy emitting from the stage. Revocation closed the night off with an old gem and everyone used up what they had left to give! What an unbelievable tour and every band completely delivered the goods! Check out some photos from the madness below! Cheers to all the crazy animals I clashed with in the pit all night and another big cheers to the bands and support crew on this killer tour!<b> /../;,,;/../ Metal Yeti</b><br />

An Iron Maiden double header weekend at an amazing outdoor venue in Toronto is irresistible to all Yeti kind. I went on a solo scouting mission for Friday night and it was so damn good I brought the entire pack out on the Saturday night to witness the madness. I've been to a few Maiden concerts before, but this one was the first that I shared with both my wife and son. With Maiden playing in the background his entire life it was only a matter of time he asked to come with me to see the beast in action.<br />
<br />
The amphitheater was completely packed with metalheads from the time the doors opened. The party ensued with a swarm of battle jackets and Eddie appropriate attire in all directions. One of my favourite things about maiden shows is that it seems its one of the only acceptable places you are completely allowed to wear the shirt of the band playing. I love seeing the sea of Maiden madness!!<br />

Following up <i>Aces High</i> with <i>Where Eagles Dare</i> and <i>2 Minutes to Midnight </i>was unbelievable; every metalhead was on their feet. Iron Maiden brought out all the stops for this tour it seems with a wicked set list and stage performance. Having the spitfire manure overhead Bruce and the boys during the fury of Aces High was truly incredible! <br />
<br />
I did not spoil to set list before the show so I was shocked to hear some songs from the Blaze era with <i>The Clansman </i>an absolute rager! I also appreciate that they included some later era Bruce songs as well like <i>The Wicker Man </i>and <i>For The Greater Good of God </i>while still leaving room for classics like <i>Revelations</i>, <i>Iron Maiden,</i> <i>The Trooper</i>, <i>Fear of the Dark,</i> and <i>The Number of the Beast</i> . I will say that I was bummed my favourite album <b>Somewhere In Time</b> got snubbed on this tour, but I enjoyed hearing some songs I've never heard live before like Blaze Bayley masterpiece <i>Sign of the Cross</i> and the utterly classic <i>Flight of Icarus</i>.<br />

<br />
Iron Maiden managed to blow my mind once again and my boy had the time of his life which makes things even better. Throughout the show he was rocking out hard and after he exclaimed "all the best heavy metal concerts have fire!!". They closed off the night with <i>The Evil That Men Do</i>, <i>Hallowed Be Thy Name</i>, and <i>Run to the Hills</i> which almost ripped the stage off its foundation! There's nothing quite like 15,000 people singing at the top of their lungs! Cheers to all my friends and family at the show and as always cheers to <b>Iron Maiden </b>for putting on one of the best shows I've ever seen!! Go see this tour if you get the chance! UP THE IRONS!!<br />

While some of the bands were not a surprise on this tour, I was immediately on board when I saw the likes of Nekrogoblikon, Rivers of Nihil, and Cattle Decapitation on the bill. The Opera House was packed from the very first band with the entire crowd showing lots of love to the bands. <b>Especially the two guys in nothing but borat style g-strings and battle jackets.... </b>With the g-string duo very fond of crowd surfing, we all got to know them pretty well. The security guard made it well known that he was burning his work gloves after his shift. LMFAO!<br />
<br />
The Summer Slaughter Tour always delivers the carnage but the big highlight of this tour for me was Rivers of Nihil, who are responsible for my (and many other metalheads) favourite release of 2018. They played a lot off the new record, opening with Death is Real and A Home. They didn't snub Monarchy though, with Sand Baptism almost taking the place off its foundation. They closed the set with Where Owls Know My Name and Old Nothing which was unreal to see so close up. They played a wicked set that I wont soon forget. They didn't play Subtle Changes, but there is only so much awesome can fit into one show! Check out some photos from the set below! Cheers to all the bands who played the tour and the metalheads who made me laugh all day! A special shout out to that security guard...<br />

Walking the line between traditional epic doom and the sludgier side of things with a slight dable into darker territory on vocals, they never fail to get the blood pumping and the head banging. So on the eve of my 30th birthday I was elated to journey out for one last night of my 20's and raise some hell. Velvet Underground in Toronto is small intimate venue, perfect for a gathering of like-minded warriors looking to have a good time. <br />

They played a great set list spanning their 3 albums. They started with one of my favourites, Above The Water, and proceeded to crush with Candlelight, Bloodletting, and Hunted amongst others. They closed with Maw of Time which got all the beer cans and battle jackets whipped to the fury. I couldn't think of a better way to end off my 2nd decade on earth. Cheers to the band and all the crazy metalheads at the show! <br />

Last night was no different, getting a chance to see the boys as they roll through Kitchener Ontario of all places on the third stop of their summer tour. I arrived just as their long time tour mates The Contortionist took the stage. They played a wicked set and built the anticipation greatly for the main event as I crushed a few beers. Between the Buried and Me took the stage and immediately set the tone with House Organ. SMASH! IGNITE! DESTROY! They proceeded to play a mix of songs mainly off Automata, and Parallax II with a sprinkle of Coma Ecliptic. I got hit so hard in the pit during Telos that my glasses flew right off my face (thanks to the dude that grabbed them for me ha ha). <br />

I've seen some amazing shows from these guys over the years, but last night was one of the best. The best part of the night happened before they even took the stage, getting a chance to meet Paul and shake his hand on my way into the gig! He was a super nice guy as expected. With a set list spread across most of the bands albums, we were even treated to a few rare gems (I'm looking at you Fossil Genera: A Feed From Cloud Mountain). The encore was the perfect cherry on top for long time fans, playing Foam Born and Decade of Statues from Colors before ending with long time closer Selkies. Cheers to Between the Buried and Me for consistently blowing my mind over the years. As always cheers to the crazy bastards in the pit, I'll see you all there next time! Check out a few pictures from the night below!<br />

My wife asked me to take her on more dates. So last night I decided to take her to an underground death metal show! Lucky for her, the Briefcase Mini-Fest Cold Summer is in full swing in Toronto and local beauties Tomb Mold were leading the charge with support by Grave Infestation and Dolmen Shrine. I unfortunately missed Oozing Wound the day before but you have to focus on the positive when it comes to these things, and that's <b>TOMB FUCKING MOLD </b>in this situation. Tomb Mold is a band that channels thick cavernous melodies and razor sharp riffage to drive home the carnage. They keep everything crushingly straight forward, yet cunningly technical with their fret and drum work. With several critically acclaimed demos and an EP and LP last year, they are set to release another full length album this year, entitled "<i>Infinite Resurrection"</i>. I am extremely exited for the next chapter of this band and whatever else their decrepit fungi inspires along the way.<br />

Playing in a small bar setting at Sneaky Dee's, was an unbelievable way to experience this caliber of raw power up close. We arrived right when Grave Infestation took the stage, and they absolutely annihilated the growing pack of metalheads mustering. Grave Infestation are on a very similar old school tangent, representing the west coast in Canada's new wave death metal. Tomb Mold quickly followed up and unleashed their insidious spore. They played for just under an hour, giving them plenty of time to explore their EP, LP's and new material. Some of my favourite moments were the tracks "Cerulean Salvation", "Planetary Clairvoyance", "Abysswalker", "Manor of Infinite Forms", and "Infinite Resurrection" with everything completely dialed! Everyone was left buzzing after the show with the band chatting with the crowd while packing up their gear. Cheers to the bands and everyone who came out to support some good Canadian death metal! My beautiful wife enjoyed the metal atmosphere and had a good time, and even my cat Merlin approves of the killer new merch I picked up!! Check out some photos of the night below. /../;,,;/../<br />

I've been looking forward to this high class evening of death and black metal for a few months now. Vale of Pnath and Incantation are a huge draw for me, with both bands representing an incredibly different take on death metal. The icing on the brutal cake however is the dual headliner between Belphegor and Dark Funeral (both bands I've never had an opportunity to see live). The bill for this tour is completely stacked, leaving me no option but to arrive as early as possible to not miss any of the devastatingly good times.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I missed Nightmarer but I did luckily I arrived at Lee's just in time for Vale of Pnath to take the stage! I seemed to be one of the few that were able to make it out for the early set time. The low turn out was definitely noticed by VoP, as they turned the front lights off and played in darkness (hopefully not to hide their disappointment). Either way, I raged hard as they played a mix of songs off their brand new album as well as some older material. Next up was some Polish black metal as Hate took the stage, and while it took a bit of time to get the crowd moving, the palace had woken up by the end of the set.<br />
<br />
Incantation are one of those bands I never get sick off. Last night they proved once again that they are even better live. They delivered a dialed performance, with every bass lick and beat felt throughout the sternum. The pit exploded for tracks like Carrion Prophecy and Ibex Moon, as Incantation proceeded the cast their insidious spell. Belphegor and Dark Funeral continued the trend. It was clear people were coming out of the metalworks for the headliners, with not a shred of room left when they each took the stage. Both bands completely obliterated my expectations, with some of the most powerful live shows I've seen of late. That being said, I do think Belphegor took the edge with the gig in state of complete madness during their set. I was thoroughly impressed. Check out some pictures from the night below and cheers to all the bands and crazy assholes in the pit. A special extra shout out to that guy who jumped off the bar by the stage during Incantation with no one to catch him! RIP lmfao. /,,/;,,;/,,/<br />

Hailing from the far away planet of New Zealand these young humanoids, deliver a break neck blend of cultural infused thrash metal that pulls its vocal styling, language, and content from the bands specific Maori experience and ancestry to complement the modern take on early Sepultura era thrash they deliver fully on. Alien Weaponry released their first full length album "Tū" in 2018, to critical acclaim and open arms from the metal community. The music they make is powerful as all hell and is sure to attract many new and old thrash fans as well as some progressive metalheads along the way.<br />
<br />
By the time I got to the Velvet Underground the place was packed with battle jackets and eager fans. The opening bands Hounskull and Plethora did an great job priming the crowd for battle, with the anticipation palatable in the minutes leading up the main event. Alien Weaponry took the stage in style, with their drummer commencing a powerful Maori war chant and dance which was soon followed up all the thrash metal fury we came for. They played a mixture of material from their early EP's as well as their debut full length release Tū. Another killer surprise was the band incorporating a few unreleased tracks into the set-list that we should be expecting to hear on future releases. The entire set was dialed with the crowd happily singing along to tracks like "RAUPATU" and "Holding my Breath". Alien Weaponry brought tremendous energy to the stage, with the members actively having a good time thrashing out and connecting with the crowd through the tunes.<br />
<br />

This show had several highlights more me, with this being my first time seeing the band live. But on top of the stacked set-list, many my favourite moments were just seeing these young metalheads passion on stage. Alien Weaponry are very young to be where they are today, with none of the band members legally able to drink in the bar they were playing in. This band gives me so much hope for the future of metal, as clearly the torch is being passed to a very young but capable group of metalheads! Overall I had a fantastic night which I will not soon forgot. I highly recommend everybody takes the chance to see Alien Weaponry if given the chance, as I am sure they have a bright future in metal ahead of them. Cheers to all the crazies I clashed with in the pit (especially that mini wall of death, lmfao) and a huge thank you and shout out to Alien Weaponry for delivering the goods. Check out a few photos from the night below!<br />

And while Benighted was unfortunately not on the Canadian bill, there was no absence of raw power throughout the night with Hideous Divinity picking up the slack and local beauties Burdizzo kicking things off. Also making this night a bit of a special one for me, my lovely wife decided to come to the death metal show with me as well! While she's no stranger to metal, she's certainly not a full blown metalhead and her various hot takes throughout the night cracked me up. There were a few comments on what shampoo Matt McGachy uses, with her final summary of night summed up to "Next to Aborted, Cryptopsy are down right listenable". (lmfao...)<br />

The place was already packed and bustling with the blastbeat party well underway. After a few beers, the moment I was waiting for approached. Flo and the boys took the stage, and Cryptopsy absolutely annihilated the Palace with their insane drum work and slaughtering bass lines felt in every bone and organ. They opened with <i>Detritus </i>and quickly moved into <i>SLIT YOUR GUTS</i> as the pit exploded. I hardly had time to say hey to a buddy as I raced to the pit. Cryptopsy played a killer mix of songs including many off None So Vile including <i>Graves of the Fathers, Phobophile, Orgiastic Disembowelment</i>, and the aforementioned <i>Slit Your Guts</i>. I could not have asked for a better set, with their windmilling headbanging heads fully delivering on every level. <br />
<br />
After a few more beers with buds and some much needed breathing time, Aborted took the stage and reignited the fire set by their predecessors. Opening with <i>TerrorVision</i> and <i>Deep Red</i> off the new album, I quickly found myself sucked back into the pit, answering Sven's call for a wall of death. Aborted played a brutal and amazing set, featuring some wicked tracks like <i>Necrotic Manifesto, Termination Redux, The Origin of Disease. Hectabomb</i>, among many others. One amazing highlight from the set was when Matt from Cryptopsy joined Sven on stage for a wicked duo version of <i>A Whore D'Oeuvre Macabre</i> (Video Clip Below). Aborted ended off the night with a satisfying Encore of <i>Retrogore</i>, successfully pulling the last ounce of energy out of the crowd as the sea of bodies clashed for one last time. Overall, I had a fantastic night at the blastbeat party. Cheers to Cryptopsy and Aborted for absolutely crushing sets, and as always a special shout out to all the crazy fuckers I clashed with in the pit. Check out a few photos and a video below! /,,/<br />

2019 is shaping up to be a great year of live shows for the Yeti. With a few smaller shows already under my belt, the first larger bill rolled through town with Wolfheart, Summoner's Circle, and Swallow the Sun supporting the gods of melodic death metal Children of Bodom! It has been almost a decade since I've seen Bodom live, the last time with buds at the tail end of high school. But hot on the heels of the release of their latest album Hexed, I could not pass up this opportunity. Wolfheart and Swallow the Sun were another huge pull for me, wanting to knockboth bands off my must see live list. /,,/<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I arrived just in time to catch the last song of Summoner's Circle's set, with the crowd already massing for the oncoming storm. After a few beers, I was more than ready for Wolfheart to take the the stage and I was off to the pit. While it took a few songs to get the everybody fully going, the energy exerted by the band was too much to resist and after a few minutes the bodies were flying. One of my favourite moments of the set (and the night) was a special "metal faced head nod of approval" from Lauri Silvonen on bass after going ballistic in the pit and throwing him the horns during Breakwater. After the chaos of Wolfheart, metalheads enjoyed a bit of a change of pace with Swallow the Sun set to take the stage. I just recently became a fan of this band, checking out their latest album and bunch of their back catalogue after that. I really enjoyed Swallow the Sun's set with their mix of slow doomy chugs and cutting guitars working well with their mysterious hooded stage presence. "New Moon" leading into "Stone Wings" was a highlight of this set for me, with the ominous guitar tones slicing deep and delivered perfectly by the band. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Swallow the Sun are a bit difficult to mosh to, but it was probably for the best as Children of Bodom's imminent presence had completely packed the Phoenix as the Hatecrew deathrolled in. Bodom opened up with "Are you Dead Yet?", which set the crowd off on a furious stupor that lasted the duration of the set. I'm kicking myself for waiting this long to see Bodom again; the energy that Alexi and the gang give off during their set is top notch and you can see how much they enjoy enticing the crowd with their melodic madness. I was pleasantly surprised with the diverse set list. With their latest album just a month old, they still played a wicked mix of old classics like "Sixpounder", "Angel's Don't Kill", and "Bodom Beach Terror" amongst my favourite new songs like "This Road", and "I Worship Chaos". But the best was saved for last with the band closing with a killer encore of two of my favourite songs from the early days playing "Hate Me!" leading into "Downfall". Check out some photos and videos from the night below! As always cheers to the bands and all the crazy metalheads I clashed with in the pit! <b>Metal Yeti</b></div>

Everybody knows that Yetis are extremely social creatures, craving mosh pits and substantial metalhead interaction for a healthy existence. Exciting things have been happening in the Heavy Metal Sasquatch camp. I've been sharing my favourite new bands with friends through this blog as well as my twitter for years but I find I've been wanting to increase my efforts and share even more from the metal underground. Ceasing an opportunity to do exactly this, I have started a partnership with online metal zine Blessed Altar; a group a like minded metalheads who share my burning desire to unearth and share all things vile and putrid. <br />
<br />
Blessed Altar Zine has been releasing daily reviews, interviews, feature articles, and underground exclusives for the better part of the last decade. Partnerships like this one have opened my eyes to an even deeper dimension of the underground. I've been able to listen and discover even more bands from different locations and scenes around the world. Luckily for you, I've never been a selfish beast so I've decided to do another edition of "Six metal bands from around the world you should be listening to!". The last post of this nature was over 5 years ago, so it is about time we take another journey across our molten-hearted globe. Check out another six incredible metal bands from around the world and expand your metal horizons!<br />

Earth's molten metal core has circled the sun once again and it's
been a hell of a journey!! 2018 was a year full of ups and downs for
metalheads as well. Machine Head as we know it called it quits, Batushka are on the rocks, Slayer played
some of the last live shows we'll ever see, Blood Music is shutting down, social justice warriors took
down Pestilence, Pat O'Brien from Cannibal Corpse got in trouble, Cory Taylor and Rob Flynn got mad at a bunch of people
again, and Devildriver released a god damn country album. All the while
over, way too may killer bands went on hiatus and we're still
waiting for a new Tool album... As always I want to raise a glass and
give cheers to the metalheads we lost this year. Rust in Peace Vinnie
Paul, Erik Lindmark, Jill Janus, Bret Hoffmann, Mikio Fujioka, Randy
Rampage, Carsten Otterbach, Oli Herbert, Stan Lee, and every other
metalhead off to the great gig in the sky /,,/<br />
<br />
But
all was not lost with the year of the never-ending Nightwish Tour
producing some absolutely awesome live tours and some of the best metal
releases I've heard in years! Killer new bands like Alien Weaponry and
Conjurer released their first full length albums and heavy hitters like
Between the Buried and Me and Pig Destroyer found their sound again, with Voice of Trespass being one of he most unique and progtastic metal songs I heard this year.
Even better, while all this was happening some of the old guards like Judas
Priest, Anvil, Satan, Voivod, Dimmu Borgir, Deicide, Metal Church,
Kalmah, Venom, and Cryptospy all put out new material this year. <br />
<br />

It was hard to keep track of all the releases this year, but here are
my top 20 albums of 2018! /,,/ For me, album of the year has changed a few times. When I made my list early in December, The
Ocean Collective stole my heart with their latest release in geological time;
Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic. Phanerozoic is a modern prog metal
masterpiece, delivering unbelievable power and atmosphere throughout
every song. I kept finding myself coming back to this album, for some
reason eerily relating to the Sea Scorpions caught up in the great
dying. But as the month went on and I kept listening to my top albums, Rivers of Nihil's Where Owls Know My Name had a bigger impact on me than it originally had earlier in the year. It is for this reason that I have moved them into the pole position as my favourite release of the year. There is something about death metal saxophone that is just too hard to resist I guess! <br />
<br />
While I may have missed a few releases here and there, these are
my
favourite and most listened to albums from the past year. If you
haven't checked any of them out already, take some time to broaden your
metal horizons! Cheers to all the metalheads around the world and here's
hoping that the next few years take a lesson from 2018 and offer up some
more magnificent metal for
our headbanging pleasure. Feel free to post your top albums in the
comments! /,,/ <br />

</div>
Craving chaos and delicious metal once again, the Yeti felt the irresistible urge to venture out of the forest and into the pit! Lucky for me hot on the heels of a new release, Between the Buried and Me visited Guelph, Ontario headlining the annual Summer Slaughter Tour on one of its only Canadian stops this year! This is not the first time BTBAM have made an appearance on this tour, but it's definitely been a long time coming to see them take on the pole position. <br />
<br />
BTBAM have had a busy year so far. They signed a new deal with Sumerian Records and quickly released a split record, Automata I & II, with the final part released just days ago on Friday the 13th. Autotmata is a boon for old BTBAM fans like me, with the band returning to roots with heavy vocals and crushing breakdowns mixed with the technical progressive mastery we all know and love. All the while they still manage to keep things fresh and weird, no doubt a tip of the hat to their new record label and Coma Ecliptic fan base. <br />

But for me, nothing compared the main event of the show. The first time I saw BTBAM live was over 10 years ago
during the Silent Circus tour. They never fail to amaze me with their
raw power and incredible stage presence, and tonight it was no different! The band played a mixture of fan favourites and new tracks starting the show off with Informal Gluttony and Extremophile Elite. They followed up with a mix of some old and newer material, delivering a completely dialed performance of Famine Wolf, Blot, Disease Injury Madness, and the ever eccentric Voice of Trespass! The entire band was on point all throughout the show but just when I thought things couldn't get any better they closed with Condemned to the Gallows and gave us an encore of Selkies! Once again Between the Buried and Me put a smile on my face. I cant wait until the next time they roll through town! Check out some photos from the night below! Cheers to my fellow metalheads and to all the crazy fuckers in the pit as usual! /,,/ <br />

Tonight history was made in Toronto as Slayer played their last show in the city on their final world tour with Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth, and Testament for support. To celebrate the occasion Mr and Mrs Squatch went down to The Budweiser Stage to witness the end of an age. The night opened up with local beauties Panzerfaust shredding a killer set at the Riverside Bar inside the venue. Right from the time the doors opened the place was packed with Testament delivering a killer set to start off the main event. Testament were on point delivering a short but packed set full of old and new favourites. Behemoth and Anthrax took the stage next over the next hour or so, turning the Budweiser Stage into a complete madhouse with both bands performing dialed sets. <br />
<br />
After lots beers and some causal thrashing with friends, Lamb of God took the stage and cranked the dial to max capacity almost ripping the railings off the lawn sections with moshing metalheads. Lamb of God opened with Omerta and continued to play a mix of all their fan favourites throughout their set. A highlight for me was the crowd contribution during Walk With Me In Hell and Laid to Rest with everyone in the venue screaming along! With the crowd now completely amped, the anticipation was almost palpable leading up to the main event. As the sun went down, Slayer took the stage and began an onslaught of thrash metal fury of which I will not soon forget. The band opened with some tracks off their latest album but soon started to burn the place down with gauntlet of material from their early days with tracks like Black Magic and Chemical Warfare as well as the title tracks and singles from most of their albums. While I was left wanting more at the end of the show with no encore, they ended the show in style with a fantastic tribute to Jeff Hanneman with the band absolutely crushing Angel of Death while flying the Hanneman flag. And with that Slayer took one last bow on the Lakeshore of Toronto under a full moon on a perfect night. <br />

The bill was absolutely stacked and they put on one hell of show. The crowd left he show completely buzzing with echos of "SLLAAYYYEEERRR" being heard from all edges of the venue and surrounding streets. Cheers to all the crazy folks I clashed with in the mosh pit on the hill! Cheers to all the bands for a wicked night and a huge final thank you to SLAYER for all the killer music and shows throughout the years. It doesn't feel right that they have wrapped up. I hope to see a lot more from them as time goes on. Check out some pictures from the night below!<br />

Lucky
for me, a lot of great diverse metal has been coming out over the past
few years. Always preferring to eat local, I've been pleased with all
the fantastic local bands gaining momentum lately. Various is one of
these bands, scoring one of my favourite releases of 2017 with their Red
Messenger EP (check out the entire list <a href="http://heavymetalsasquatch.blogspot.ca/2018/03/heavy-metal-yetis-best-metal-albums-of.html" target="_blank">here</a>).
Hailing from Niagara Falls Ontario, the band spawned out of the ashes
of a few prog and thrash metal bands active over the past few years.
What doesn't kill you makes the metal better! Varius began in 2016, but
hit the ground running in 2017 with a busy year of live shows and the
release of their first EP, released independently last Halloween.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXbG7XXUmbkrL5bm13BRbXyIWksHhKboX9d3t2_qIFKvvWQKO2pF7CtpxawLyqpzx8hlN71v74vWfArynwcRLaXtEjzNbKR2qKGj8U7zg-FCJNKGzaweE8wDrQwSbCElEsgFzGoi92LxD/s1600/red+messenger.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXbG7XXUmbkrL5bm13BRbXyIWksHhKboX9d3t2_qIFKvvWQKO2pF7CtpxawLyqpzx8hlN71v74vWfArynwcRLaXtEjzNbKR2qKGj8U7zg-FCJNKGzaweE8wDrQwSbCElEsgFzGoi92LxD/s400/red+messenger.jpg" width="400" /></a>
Varius;- "diverse, different, changeable; variegated". The bands first
EP Red Messenger is true to their name, featuring three songs of heavy
hitting and technically diverse metal fury! Varius hits hard with a
blend of traditional groove and progressively heavy metal. Each of the
three songs on the EP brings something slightly different to the table,
showcasing their embrace of fast paced guitar groove, progressive song
structure, and mix of traditional and unorthodox instrumental
combinations. The death growling vocals suits the instrumentals well on the album, enforcing the heavy tone that kept my furious
furry head banging throughout. Red Messenger is also full of trippy and
face-melting guitar solos reflecting the bands diverse nature.
Varius doesn't shy away from good old fashion shred in their riffs.
They keep the throttle pinned, breaking only for the few moments to
enjoy some weird proggy fun. Various has a lot planned for 2018 and
beyond with a new 4 song follow up planned for release this year and a
number of live shows on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for them on
your local bills and check them out if you get the chance! In the
meantime you can listen, download, and buy merch online @ <a href="https://varius.bandcamp.com/releases" target="_blank">https://varius.bandcamp.com/releases</a>. I cant wait to see what these guys have in store for us in the coming years!!<br />

Our planet has circled the sun once again and some wicked tunes
have been made during the journey. I think most people can agree that
2017 was a tricky year to say the least. Black Sabbath played their last
live show, bands like Spawn of Possession, Textures, and Dillinger
Escape Plan have called it quits, David Vincent left Morbid Angel again
while Steve Tucker came back to the band, Ron left Overkill, and to be
honest the world just lost too many awesome people this year. A huge
thank you and massive cheers to Gord Downie, Chris Cornell, Chester
Bennington, Warrel Dane, Malcolm Young, Geoff Nicholls, Scott Wily,
Martin Ain, Trish Doan, Chuck Mosley, Tom Petty, Chuck Berry, and all
the other metalheads we lost this year! <br />
<br />
But all was not lost as the metal bands of the world kept on
delivering a constant supply of ass kicking tunes to keep the horns
raging and the heads banging. Some great new bands emerged onto the
scene this year (I'm looking at you Necrot, Varius, and Cloak) while a
good bunch of up and coming bands are posturing themselves to give some
of the metal legends a run for their money. This all being said the old
school gods proved their worth this year with bands the likes of
Obituary, Incantation, Kreator, Iced Earth, and Cannibal Corpse still
pumping out impressive and fresh material. <br />
<br />
It was hard to keep track of all the releases this year, but here are my top 25 albums of 2017! \m/ These are my
favourite and most listened to albums from the past year. If you
haven't checked any of them out, take some time out of your busy
schedule and give them a listen! Cheers to all the metalheads around the world and here's
hoping that the next few years take a lesson from 2017 and offer up some more magnificent metal for
our headbanging pleasure. Feel free to post your top albums in the comments! /,,/ <br />
