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.

Zealot R.I.P. – Ambush Predator

Loud Boyz – Party In The U.S.A.

Asthma Castle – Mount Crushmore

Zealot R.I.P. beer release show

Extinction Of Brew

Just a quick post today but I wanted to remind everyone that this Saturday, November 23rd, at Haydee’s in Mt. Pleasant, there’s a killer show with Zealot R.I.P. (featuring members of Pig Destroyer and Darkest Hour), the Loud Boyz (wild party punk rock) and Neolithic (death/grind from Baltimore). That’s a great local metal show for sure but what makes this one special is that Champion Brewing will be releasing their Extinction Of Brew lager, the official beer for Zealot R.I.P.! That’s the tentacley can art up above, and you can see the show flyer below. More info is available at the show’s Facebook event page here.

The venue is a Mexican restaurant on Mt. Pleasant Street, basically just across the street from The Raven bar. It’s walking distance from the Columbia Heights metro station. And remember that the vocalist for Neolithic is Evan Harting, one of the guys that runs Maryland Deathfest. Be sure to get there early so you can ask him why your band wasn’t invited to play Maryland Deathfest, I hear he loves that. But seriously, this is a great line up from top to bottom and it’s always cool when a local metal band gets their own beer. Be sure to stream some tunes to check the bands out at the bottom of this post.
