sHeavy live @ the Manhattan Moncton NB, 2005

Also here is the footage of sHeavy that i took in 2005 live in Moncton they went on second and not many people showed up! what a shame it was a killer good show. the quality is a bit rough as i had to transfer this from VHS to digital but overall turned out pretty good. sorry bout the shaky quality.

Next month Gypsy Chief Goliath will be continuing their spring/summer Canadian tour for another 9 dates. If you happen to be in the area and enjoy good tunes then make sure to go check em out. they've been around for quite awhile now and certainly know how to put on a good show no doubt about that.the proof is also out there on youtube for all you fine folks to check out if you haven't already!! i haven't had the chance to see them live yet but have been a friend of the lead singer Al the Yeti Bones Petrovich for many years. I certainly hope to be able to pull something off and go see this band live!! Here is a video from their newest album entitled "New Machines of the Night".

Wings of Metal Aug.29-30th 2014

Wings of Metal festival happens in Montreal city at a bar/venue named the Katacombes. This year will mark the festivals second run of NWOBHM/Speed/thrash/Doom Metal bands making the 2 day event a show you won't want to miss!!(unfortunately as i post this all the two day passes have been sold out already,and i think they will have a certain limit on people paying at the door as the venue can only hold so many people).Sadly i missed last years festival which had great bands headlining like Manilla Road,Satan,Midnight,Blood Ceremony,Goat Horn and Cauchemar! This year i decided that i'm going to attend this show no matter what!(even though i'm still not sure how i'm getting there?lol). This years roster includes many great bands such as The Skull(ex-Trouble),Blood Ceremony,Dream Death,Funeral Circle and NWOBHM legends Holocaust, plus many others bands i have yet to discover which should make the night even more interesting!! really looking forward to this summer and Wings of Metal II

The Gates of Slumber - Jason McCash R.I.P.

Well its been a week now since the Gates of Slumber lost their brother in Doom bass player Jason McCash. the sadness and loss is still felt strong,I've seen many posts on facebook from the Doom Metal community who have streched arms wide to mourn the loss of a great man and father, who liked his doom metal and swords and sorcery/occult books(i.e.Ron Howard,H.P. Lovecraft)he also liked his sports football in particular. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends!! i feel truely blessed as a fan of doom to have seen Gates of Slumber twice in Montreal! once in 2009 and again in 2012( if you wonder what i did in 2012 i was out seeing amazing doom bands!!). The first year i saw the band i met and talked to Karl the singer and guitarist, we sat and drank some beers talked metal a little then they hit the stage and afterwards i went to Jason and told him i was really amazed at the set and that they played real well!

the second time i saw the band again in 2012 i took my video camera to film the show. I arrived at the venue somewhat early. I remember seeing Jason McCash walking back to the venue as i pulled in the street where the venue was located. I think he had went to a store to buy a slushie or something cold to drink if my memory serves me right. The boys kinda joked and giggled like kids as he arrived, saying something like you needed to have a sugar fix before the show huh!? haha I asked them all then if it was okay i take my camera in to film the set and they were all very cool with that.Very nice guys, i talked to Bob Fouts the drummer this time and also Karl. and also talking to Jason felt a bit mysterious and seemed like he had a very shy timid personality and i never really got to know him all to well but i sensed he had a kind heart. And his writing abilities and organizing skills will be sorely missed in the Doom Metal scene. i will leave you all with the video from the show in 2012. Blessed be those who are within grief !!
