Seven Soundstage Sundays mega-ticket give away

Seven Sundays mega ticket at Baltimore Soundstage

The Baltimore Soundstage has a special 7 event mega ticket deal going on right now (details here). For $150 you can purchase tickets to see all 7 of the listed events (each is on a Sunday night), which would normally cost over $225 if you bought them all individually. I figure the only thing better than this killer deal would be getting tickets to all seven of these events for free so that’s just what we’re doing with this contest! That’s right, this contest will give the winner not one but a pair of tickets to each of these 7 Sunday night events absolutely free! To enter: just leave a comment on this post telling me which of these events you want to go to the most! They’re all listed below this paragraph and you can just name the headliner if you want. Then this Friday, August 2nd at 12pm noon the contest will close and the winner will be selected from all valid entries using Random.org. The winner will receive a free pair of tickets to all seven of the selected Sunday shows at Baltimore Soundstage! Be sure to use a valid email you check regularly 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 the $150 mega ticket from Ticket Master here.

Despite being named after the London district that Jack The Ripper committed his murders, Whitechapel is actually from Knoxville, Tennessee. The band’s catchy style of deathcore and intense live shows have made them on of the biggest names of the subgenre. Direct support for the headliner on this tour comes from the vegetarian death metal band Cattle Decapitation. Goatwhore brings their dirty, blackened metal from New Orleans on this tour, and Allegaeon playing a proggy style of melo death. The opener is Necromancing The Stone, a newer melo death/thrash band from Ohio. What do all these bands have in common? They’re all signed to Metal Blade Records and they’re making this Metal Blade 35th Anniversary Tour something you don’t want to miss! Now check out these videos by the bands on the bill and let me know what is your favorite metal song to listen to on Valentine’s Day!

Whitechapel – Elitist Ones

Cattle Decapitation – Forced Gender Reassignment

Goatwhore – Apocalyptic Havoc

Allegaeon – Of Mind And Matrix

Brujeria is the Spanish word for witchcraft and the band keeps the identities of its members a secret. There have been members of Fear Factory, Faith No More, Carcass, Napalm Death and many others all rumored to be members though, and if you’re at the show you can try to peek under their bandanas and figure out their identities, at your own risk of course! Brujeria isn’t a band to be fucked with! Also on the bill is the vegetarian death metal band Cattle Decapitation, a band who keeps putting out solid death metal albums regularly. The tour opener is Piñata Protest, a punk band from San Antonio, Texas and local support is provided by the grind band Ampallang Infection. Now check out these videos by the bands playing and let me know what your favorite metal band is that comes from another country!

Brujeria – Plata O Plomo

Arch Enemy returns to Baltimore when Summer Slaughter comes to town and this will be the first time they play our area with Jeff Loomis playing guitar opposite Mike Amott! Born Of Osiris is a deathcore band from the Chicago area and they’ve just released a new song from their upcoming album, maybe they’ll play more from it live as well. Veil Of Maya is also a deathcore band from Chicago, though their sound has a Periphery-esque djent sound as well. The Acacia Strain from Massachusetts will be bringing their brand of metalcore to the stage on this tour as well. California based vegetarian death metal band Cattle Decapitation has a new album coming out and they’ll surely be playing some of that brutal new material for you at this show. And definitely get there early enough to see Beyond Creation from Montreal. The tech death band has one of the most incredible bass players in metal right now! So check out these videos by each band on the Summer Slaughter tour below and leave a comment telling me which band you most want to see when the tour comes to Baltimore next week!

Arch Enemy – War Eternal

Born Of Osiris – Throw Me In The Jungle

Veil Of Maya – Mikasa
