Skeletonwitch, Sabaton, & Amon Amarth @ The Sound Academy, Toronto (Oct10/ 2014)

    Last night the Metal Yeti had the opportunity to witness the guardians of Asgard, Amon Amarth destroy Toronto with guests Skeletonwitch and Sabaton. I had been waiting a long time to see Skeletonwitch and was completely consumed by berserker rage for their entire set, which I am happy to say featured many classics from the Beyond the Permafrost album. Sabaton and their phantom keyboard player took the stage next and did an honourable job getting the crowd amped for the headlining viking gods. By the time Amon Amarth started the show off with Deceiver of the Gods, the Sound Academy was completely packed. The next 90 minutes were jam packed with viking chants and songs of war, leaving the Yeti and every single person in the audience thoroughly satisfied! I have been to a lot of gigs in my day, but this one will definitely be remembered for a long time. A special shout out to Skeletonwitch for their killer set, as well as all the kids I clashed with in the pit /,,/

Niagara Metal Fest 2014

    Last past weekend was the 2014 Niagara Metal Fest at the Taps Brewery in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This year certainty showcased the finest in underground metal around the Niagara region, with unbelievably heavy as hell sets being played by every band involved. Unfortunately I was only able to attend day 1 of the festival, but I had the time of my life! My favourite moments of the day was the insane pits to Ataxia, Unscathed, Wretchedpain, & Killitorous, with a special mention to Wretchedpain for the WALL OF DEATH!

Carcass, The Black Dahlia Murder, & Gorguts @ The Opera House, Toronto (April 8/ 2014)

    The Sasquatch has just returned from a memorable night of old school death, tall cans, and all around destruction as Gorguts, The Black Dahlia Murder, & Noisem took the stage with the godfathers of death themselves, Carcass! The pit was ferocious as always with the Yeti almost ripping off a thumb nail during Unfit For Human Consumption! All was worth it though, with all the bands performing brutally dialed sets. And to top everything off, I was able to have a discussion with the one and only Sam Dunn (Metal: A Headbangers Journey) about Carcass and all their brutal glory! An all around wicked night. Cheers to all the crazy ladies in the pit tonight! And as always cheers to the bands for playing amazing sets (lots of old classics! Obscura from Gorguts! & lots off Swansong and Reek from Carcass!).   /,,/ /,,/
