Seven Soundstage Sundays mega-ticket give away

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.

Summer Slaughter at Rams Head Live

The annual Summer Slaughter tour is one of the biggest heavy metal summer tours in the US every year and 2015 will be no different!

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post naming which band you’re most excited to see on this year’s Summer Slaughter tour!

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

The Acacia Strain – Cauterizer

Cattle Decapitation – Manufactured Extinct

Beyond Creation – Omnipresent Perception

Summer Slaughter Ticket Give Away

The Summer Slaughter Tour is coming to Washington DC this year and this wouldn’t be DCHeavyMetal.com if I wasn’t giving away tickets to this heavy concert! They’re coming to the 9:30 Club on Monday, August 15th, 2011. All you have to do to enter to win is post a comment below telling me which of the 10 bands on this tour you are the most excited to see play (they’re listed in the paragraph below). One winner will be chosen at random from all valid entries to win a pair of tickets to the concert, awesome! Make sure you enter in a valid email address you check regularly when you submit your comment so I can contact you if you win, though it doesn’t need to be in the comment itself. Don’t worry I won’t add you to a list or anything, I hate spam as much as you do. On ~~Friday, August 12th at 5pm EST~~ the concert will end and I’ll select a winner at random (using Random.org) from all the comments below to win the pair of tickets. UPDATE: I’m going to extend this one an extra 24 hours, so you have until 5pm EST on Saturday August 13th! If the winner doesn’t respond within 24 hours I’ll pick another winner. Don’t be a jerk and enter multiple times or I’ll disqualify all your entries.

This year’s Summer Slaughter Tour is making it’s only area stop at the 9:30 Club on this Monday afternoon in August. There’s a total of 10 bands on this tour, but what really makes this show special is that two of them are a couple of local bands I know you have heard of before, Darkest Hour and Dying Fetus! That’s right, they’re both on the tour and are coming through with headliners The Black Dahlia Murder and White Chapel. If that wasn’t good enough there’s Six Feet Under, which is the current band of original Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and also features Terry Butler on bass who played in Death on the Leprosy and Spiritual Healing albums. There’s also the video game themed metal band Powerglove who will be doing some sort of half time show. I’m not sure what that entails but they tend to wear costumes that are some sort of cross between Gwar and 90s video game characters. But that’s not all, there’s also several other bands, namely: As Blood Runs Black, Oceano, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Within The Ruins. This show is going to be big! If you can’t wait for the contest to end or if you don’t win you can get tickets from Ticket Fly for $24 here. Doors open really early for this one, 2:30 pm in the afternoon so be sure to bring a few dollars for food as the evening goes on. The 9:30 Club has a full menu and there’s also several local restaurants within walking distance along U Street that you can hit up as well. There is re-entry, just make sure you get your hand stamped to get back in. If you’re still not sure which band to pick just check out this video which is a short sampler of all the bands on the tour.
