You knew him for years as the face (and voice) of Chiodos.  You may have given that Cinematic Sunrise EP a listen or two.  Maybe you even saw him tear up the Teggart Main Stage of this year’s Warped Tour as a member of Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (or D.R.U.G.S.). And when he makes a stop at Indy’s all-ages mecca this September, you can see him in a much more intimate setting. Craig... 

Sure, they may have missed out on the “most extreme tour of the year,” but it looks like they’re okay with that. Why?  Because instead of hanging their heads and walking away, they just booked their own summer tour. For this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour, fans got to decide who would fill the final opening slot via Facebook.  As the dust settled and votes were counted, the... 

Your moment of serene, blissful, summertime content is about to come crashing down faster than this Knoxville deathcore band can call for a circle pit. The summer season is full of great metal shows around the city, but perhaps no venue does it better than The Emerson and their seemingly endless barrage of shows featuring chugging guitars, pounding drums, and throaty vocals. So how do they do it... 

Sure, it’s been a while since drummer Dave Powell was touring around the Indy metal scene as a member of The Bowels of Judas, but maybe his move to join Emery was for the best. Why?  Because now he’s part of a band that truly does what they want. In an ever-growing (and maybe over-crowded) post-hardcore scene, finding your identity is always a challenge, and the guys in Emery have managed... 

Summer is fast approaching, and the list of impressive shows at Indy’s most famous all-ages venue is looking more impressive with each show. But there’s only one show that could paint the Circle City “red.” What show could possibly pull off such a feat?  How about one featuring one of the finest hard rock acts straight from the Music City?  How about one featuring a two-time... 

What do the San Antonio deathcore scene, Al Pacino, mosh pits, and Al Pacino have in common? Simple: they’re the subject of the latest show guaranteed to shake loose more plaster off The Emerson’s aging walls. Upon A Burning Body may sound unfamiliar to the casual metalhead, but at the rate they’re going, they won’t need their chaotic blast beats, guitar solos and throaty... 

“It Must Really Suck to be Four Year Strong Right Now.” Why?  Because their show at Indy’s all-ages mecca won’t be for a few more weeks. Since 2001, Four Year Strong has impressed critics and fans alike with their blend of power pop/hardcore punk, catchy melodies, and a love for 90s pop culture.  Their efforts have rewarded them with four studio albums (one of which was... 

As the dates of their first headlining tour in nearly a year conclude, a thought occurs through the minds of those who didn’t make it out to this: Will they ever come to my city?  Does it really have to end soon?  Can’t we just continue the fun? Fear not, for your wishes have been granted. For years, Norma Jean has amazed, entertained, and maybe even frightened music lovers with their... 

Sure, it’s probably not your grandparents’ gospel music, and don’t expect to hear any church choirs singing their songs anytime soon, but don’t write off the guys from For Today just yet. With a sound as brutal and ferocious as it is uplifting and spiritual, these Sioux Falls natives have only one goal: to spread their message of faith and redemption to anyone within earshot. ... 

Following Mosh Madness Metal Fest, it’s a time of rest. It’s a time to recover.  A time to take it easy.  A time to nurse ringing ears and sore body parts that usually follow two days of being in a pit. Then four days later, it’s time to do it all again. Come on, let’s face it.  Too much silence is boring, and what better place to host a show capable of shaking Indy to...
