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! A very special thanks to all the sponsors and organizers @ Pain TV. Make sure to check them out at www.paintv.ca/! Here are some pictures I took as well as some ones taken by friends, as well a few from the boys of Chronic Aggression! Cheers to all you crazy fuckers I clashed with in the pits as well as to all the bands who played! /,,/ /,,/

Anti Easter Eggs /,,/

     Everyone knows that when the Easter Bunny isn't hiding eggs, he's headbanging to his favourite metal bands. In honour of this, the Heavy Metal Sasquatch has decided to try a not so traditional take on the egg decorating tradition, creating some heavy metal Easter eggs. These "anti-Easter eggs" were influenced by three of the Sasquatch's favourite bands: Gorgoroth, Between the Buried and Me, & Slayer! /,,/ Feel free to post any of your metal eggs creations in the comments or on twitter @HeavyMetalYetii. Special thanks to my wife Ashley for painting the wicked Parallax owl. I hope you enjoy! /,,/ /,,/ 

- Happy Metal Easter! Heavy Metal Sasquatch out! \m/

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!).   /,,/ /,,/
