If you LOVE symphonic power metal, the Dark Asylum Tour is a dream lineup, Kamelot has always put on an amazing show, and this time added Visions of Atlantis and Frozen Crown to their US tour. I knew I were in for a special night, and the energy level was high as the crowd filled in the House of Blues in Las Vegas, ready for the show. Symphonic music fans are really into their bands, and it was evident by the excitement in the room. FROZEN CROWN started the night off to a ene

HATEBREED brought the 2026 SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR to Las Vegas at the House of Blues, with hardcore from TERROR, and support from Incantation, Gates to Hell, Torture, and Creeping Death for a ferocious night of metal and melee. The show started hella early, and with the stadium next door hosting a show too the commute was another hell, but I finally got parked (abeit $50 poorer) and rushed in during Creeping Death and got to hear at least a bit of Texas death metal. The band p

THE SWORD and co-headliners RED FANG brought the doom and stoner gloom to Las Vegas and the House of Blues for a sludge stoner metal night like no other with support from SPOON BENDERS. Spoon Benders psychedelic punk grungy groove started off the night, vocalist and founder Katy Black slinging the bass around and belting to "Cut Behind" from the Oregon based band's 2023 release How Things Repeat. The set was a bit of Repeat and several songs that are in line to make up a new

Jinjer brought the Duel Tour to Las Vegas this month, with a phenomenal blast of metalcore and music to the House of Blues. Jinjer has always been at the top of my list of favorite bands, with Tatiana my number one female performer, so I was excited for this tour! Entheos was support, and a perfect fit for the tour. ENTHEOS hail from Santa Cruz, and is made up of ex-members of Animosity, Animals as Leaders and The Faceless. The band is fronted by Chaney Crabb who is a beast

The minute I stepped in the House of Blues in Las Vegas you could tell this was not your typical crowd. Fans of 90’s music are now in their 40s and up, and this show was all about 90’s nostalgia - but these two bands were not resting on that nostalgia, the both gave a phenominal show and continue to put out new music. THE VERVE PIPE brought out a crowd of deeply connected fans who remembered their songs when they were the younger generation listening to the radio. The band wa

LA's Holywatr was just in Vegas supporting Chiodos a minute back, and really killed it, and tonight was no different. The band released brand new album Deo Gr

WHO'S HAVING FUN??? DRAIN crashed into the House of Blues like a tidal wave, with a surf lesson for us all. Watch out for that shark. The show got started with Secret World, hardcore from down under, with members of post Speed, Downside, and Hand of Mercy, with a melodic take on Aussie punk with their 2024 debut EP Guilt Is Good and their second EP Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me in late 2025. Secret World came in hot with "The Way It Goes" and the crowd got rowdy from the firs

Silverstein packed the House of Blues in Las Vegas for a SOLD OUT date on their last leg of 25 Years Of Noise Anniversary Tour , showcasing their decades plus catalogue with a show that also featured sets from Bloom, Free Throw , and Thursday . Fans packed against the barricade early, not missing a moment of the show, and got a real treat with Australia's Bloom.
