New England’s Conclave Pick Up the Bong, Not the Change

I realize it’s foolish to do so, but when someone tells me about a new metal band from New England, the first thing I do is imagine some knuckle-dragging breakdown-happy metalcore monstrosity that would pay to play at 1pm at a godforsaken metalfest that I mercifully never have to attend for the rest of my fucking life. 

See? Totally stupid. Especially when the New England metal band in question are newcomers Conclave, who feature Warhorse, Grief, Disrupt and Desolate alumni among their ranks. You can familiarize yourself with their stoner/sludgey approach via the video for “Cut it Off” below, but only after the band drops some mad context about the track and the video itself.

“Both musically and lyrically ‘Cut It Off’ is punching yourself out of a box. When you’ve had enough of the shit and nothing seems to matter or hold value anymore. You’ve reached the point where you’re willing and ready to destroy everything, starting with yourself. Scorched. Fucking. Earth.

“As far as this video goes, it was shot by a friend of ours in Worcester, MA and is the very first time we ever played ‘Cut It Off’ live for the public. It was a great time and a great show with a sweet line up of bands: Second Grave, Conclave, Magic Circle, Crypt Sermon and Gospel of the Witches.”

Conclave’s breakdown-free debut album, Sins of the Elders, will be independently released June 10. Peep their Bandcamp page here.

Fozzy Saves the World 2023: Baltimore Show Review

Fozzy comes back to Baltimore and brings the rock, the roll and David Arquette.

Chris Jericho and Fozzy always bring a great show with them , this time they had The Nocturnal Affair and Seventh Day Slumber along for the ride .

The Nocturnal Affair is a fun band to watch. A little mix of Dark Goth Rock and alternative industrial is how to explain them. Singer Brendan Shane is a great frontman and knows how to rock out the crowd. 

This was my first time seeing Seventh Day Slumber and they didn’t disappoint. The band puts on a great show and singer Joseph Rojas is not only an amazing singer but just an all around great guy. The band has been around since the late 90s and still just puts on an amazing show. 

Fozzy was next and the crowd was chanting “Fozzy,Fozzy” all night long. Part rock n roll crowd part wrestling crowd, the fans were ready for experience the “Walls of Jericho”. This band is always fun. The whole band just rocks the whole stage and you can tell that they are having fun. Jericho is a natural born entertainer and just oozes charisma all over the stage. 

Billy Grey and Rich Ward are a hoot to watch. Both have so much energy and are bouncing all over the stage , rich even gives PJ a few smooches now and then, and when they rock that guitar solos it’s insane. I love watching the crowd and the little kids who are at the show just enjoying watching  “The Ayatollah of Rock ’N’ Rolla”, with songs like “Drinking with Jesus” and “Judas” the fans go insane. 

As I mentioned in the opening statement, as we were leaving the venue after the show, the former WCW Heavyweight Champion David Arquette was coming into the venue to talk to Jericho. David was in town for monstermania horror con weekend and stopped in get a glimpse of Fozzy.
