Halloween in Las Vegas hits different. Between the neon glow of Fremont Street, the packed sidewalks of costumed chaos, and the low rumble of bass echoing through downtown; it’s a night when the strange becomes normal and loud becomes necessary.

GWAR bought the GOR GOR back to Vegas, and we were there for the destruction. Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade hosted Your Lords and Masters of the Universe, and it was a blood and GOR-for-all.

The show featured support from Dark Chapel , a project from Dario Lorina that is getting all kinds of love in Vegas, and also more Vegas metal with Sonolith and Papsmear. Papsmear

Both have been members of CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, SOULFLY, a nd SEPULTURA with Max on guitar and vocals and Igor on drums, and tonight they would bring the Chaos A.D.2025 Tour to House of Blues in Las Vegas. Also on the bill was one of my all time fav industrial metal bands FEAR FACTORY , and support from death metal band GENOCIDE PACT along

Friday nights in Las Vegas have no shortage of things to do. and tonight the crowd is packing in for a night of metal with Peeling Flesh, Shadow of Intent, The Black Dahlia Murder and Lorna Shore at the Pearl Theater in Las Vegas. With a line up like this, it is easy to see why the fans are in early on the floor early getting their spots along the rail. First up is Peeling Flesh , and this death metal band from Oklahoma might be newer on the scene but they are developing q
