Zealot RIP ticket and prize pack give away!

Zealot R.I.P. at DC Brau

It has been some time since our last ticket give away on DCHM so I’m very excited to be giving away a pair of tickets to the Zealot R.I.P. show on September 22nd at DC Brau brewery with Loud Boyz and Asthma Castle (and a special secret guest band!). Along with the pair of tickets to the show the winner will also receive a Zealot R.I.P. t-shirt and a physical copy of the Zealot R.I.P. debut album The Extinction of You which is released this Friday, Sept 10th (purchase it here). The winner will pick these items up at the show, and a digital download code will also be included with the physical copy of the album. To enter: just leave a comment on this post telling me what the last local show you went to was (anywhere in the DMV and it can be recent or before the pandemic) and on Thursday, Sept 9th at 5pm Eastern the winner will be selected from all valid entries using Random.org. Be sure to use a valid email you check regularly when you enter so I can contact you if you win. Don’t worry, I won’t add you to any spam lists or sell your info or anything sleazy like that. If the selected winner hasn’t written me back within 24 hours another winner will be selected. If you can’t wait to see if you win or the contest is already over when you read this, then you can purchase tickets here.

Zealot R.I.P. is made up of members of Pig Destroyer, Darkest Hour and Frodus and after much delay due to the ongoing pandemic, they’re finally releasing their debut full length album, The Extinction of You! This show at DC Brau will be an epic release show for the album! Support is provided by party rockers Loud Boyz, who always put on a wild live show, and Baltimore’s Asthma Castle, a sludge/stoner metal band featuring Adam Jarvis (of Pig Destroyer and Misery Index) on drums. I’m not allowed to mention who the surprise guest band is for contractual reasons but let me tell you it’s going to be big and you don’t want to miss their set.

This show is ages 18+ and please be aware that Covid protocols will be in place for this event and upon entry everyone will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative test result from the previous 72 hours.

Now check out these videos from the bands below and let me know in the comments what the last local concert you went to was.

Pallbearer ticket give away

If you like your doom metal with an extra dose of heavy and a heaping side of gloom then you don’t want to miss Pallbearer coming to the Rock & Roll Hotel on Wednesday, September 12th, 2012. DCHeavyMetal.com is giving away a free pair of tickets to one lucky winner to catch this must see show and all you’ve got to do to enter is leave a comment at the end of this post telling me which metal band you’d like to see come to the Rock & Roll Hotel next! On Monday, September 10th at 5pm EST I’ll pick a winner at random (using Random.org) from all valid entries to get the free pair of tickets to the show! Be sure to enter with a valid email address you check regularly so I can contact you if you win. If I don’t hear from you in 24 hours then I’ll pick another winner to get the tickets. Don’t worry, I wont add you to any email lists or anything like that, I hate spam too. If you enter more than once then all your entries will be disqualified. If you simply can’t wait to see if you win the contest you can get tickets from Ticket Alternative here for $12.

Pallbearer’s debut album, Sorrow And Extinction, was released in February and has been making waves in the world of doom metal, and for good reason! The Arkansas based band uses clean vocals on top of crushingly heavy riffs that will have you feeling the weight of that casket when you hear them play live. As an extra bonus, everyone in attendance can pick up a free copy of Pallbearer Live on 10″ vinyl provided by Scion A/V at the merch booth. The opening act on the Paths To Oblivion Tour is Royal Thunder, an Atlanta, Georgia based rock band. Samothrace was supposed to be on this tour but had to drop due to an “immediate illness in the family of a band member” according to this post. For this show their spot on the bill has been taken by Asthma Castle, a Baltimore based band that should fit perfectly with the two touring bands. Now crank up the song below, Devoid Of Redemption, while you enter the contest below. Good luck!
