TOUR ALERT: THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER IS BACK ON THE ROAD

The Black Dahlia Murder are hitting the road this spring and this lineup is pure violence. Joining them are The Acacia Strain, Disembodied Tyrant, and Co**se Pile. This is not a casual night out. This is a pit war.

TBDM has always been one of death metal’s most relentless live forces. Even through tragedy, this band never stopped pushing forward, never stopped honoring the legacy, never stopped ripping. Every tour now feels like a statement of survival and power.

Add The Acacia Strain bringing their suffocating, room collapsing heaviness, Disembodied Tyrant delivering symphonic brutality, and Co**se Pile injecting raw underground filth, and you have a tour built to leave scars.

This is a lineup for the lifers. For the kids in the pit. For the ones who need their music loud, ugly, and honest. If this tour hits your city, you show up. Period.

Gaerea is what happens when black metal grows teeth and stares straight into your soul. Born in Portugal, this masked collective has been quietly becoming one of the most important modern forces in extreme metal. No gimmicks. No personalities. Just faceless figures channeling grief, rage, and despair into something massive and cinematic.

Their sound lives in the space between traditional black metal and modern post metal. Blistering blast beats crash into towering walls of atmosphere. Melodies cut through the chaos like light through smoke. It is violent, emotional, and uncomfortably human.

Albums like Unsettling Whispers and Mirage pushed them beyond underground cult status and into global relevance, proving black metal can still evolve without losing its teeth.

Gaerea’s anonymity is not a trick. It is a statement. The masks strip ego from the equation and force you to focus on the weight of the music. Live, they feel less like a band and more like a ritual. Every performance is a storm of motion, shadow, and sound that leaves rooms stunned.

In a scene that often recycles the past, Gaerea is dragging black metal forward. They are proof that extremity can still feel dangerous, beautiful, and necessary in 2026. If you crave heaviness with depth and darkness with intention, this is your next obsession.

Reyna Tropical came through and turned the Red Hat Amphitheater into something you could feel in your bones. This was not just a show. This was movement, culture, sweat, and vibe wrapped up in a singular blast of energy. People talk about summer anthems and stage presence and connection, but Reyna Tropical exhibited it all with a smile, grit, and unmistakable fire.

Reyna Tropical’s sound is a wild fusion of tropical rhythms, hard-hitting beats, and pure feel-good energy. Think sun baked guitars melting into thick bass lines and vocals that tell stories of love, life, struggle, joy, heartbreak and celebration all at once. Their music does not sit still. It wants feet moving, voices raised, bodies turned toward the sun, hearts open, feelings uncaged.

The band that took the Red Hat stage tonight commanded attention right away. From the first note, the crowd went from curious to fully invested. The energy was immediate, rising in waves and building up into a timeless moment where everyone felt connected to one another and to the music. This was more than a performance. It was a call to live loud and feel deep.

Reyna Tropical’s presence on stage was magnetic. They owned every second with confidence that could only come from countless nights on the road and real, lived-in passion. The band played like they were telling their own story and inviting the audience to be a part of it. The rhythms were massive. The vocals soared. The crowd responded in kind with movement, smiles, shouts, dance, and straight-up love.

And the vibe? Uncontainable. The sun might have been dipping low, but their spirit burned high. Every song felt like a celebration and every chorus a liberation. This was a night where worries melted, hips moved, hearts lifted, and Raleigh breathed deep in unison.

CHARLEY CROCKETT AT RED HAT AMPHITHEATER | OLD SOUL FIRE AND PURE FEELING

Charley Crockett hit Red Hat Amphitheater on 9/13/25 and delivered something far deeper than a standard live set. This was a gathering. A shared moment rooted in American music history, lived experience and real emotion. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just songs that carry weight and stories that land hard.

Crockett has spent years grinding his way from Texas bars and back rooms to stages like this, and it shows. His sound pulls from country, blues, soul and early rock and roll, but it never feels recycled. It feels lived in. His voice carries that weathered warmth that sounds like it has already been through a few lifetimes, and it commands attention without ever asking for it.

Backed by a tight, dialed in band, Charley controlled the stage with confidence and calm authority. Every movement felt intentional. Every note served the song. There was no wasted space, just groove and presence. The crowd leaned in, locked into every lyric, every bend of the guitar, every pause between verses.

Songs like Crucified Son, Lonesome Drifter and Night Rider hit with grit and honesty. These were not just performed. They were felt. Crockett sings like someone who believes every word he is delivering, and that belief travels straight through the crowd. You could feel the connection tighten with every chorus.

What stood out most was the sincerity. Charley Crockett does not perform above his audience. He performs with them. The energy in the amphitheater felt shared, like everyone understood they were part of something real unfolding in real time.

This was music with soul and backbone. Music that reminds you why these sounds never die. They evolve. They survive. They find new ears and new hearts.

Charley Crockett did not just play Red Hat. He owned it with authenticity, grit and timeless style. A show that stayed with you long after the lights came up.

Puscifer returns with “Impetuous” and it is a slow burn built on tension, restraint, and atmosphere. This is the space where Maynard James Keenan thrives when he steps outside of Tool and A Perfect Circle and lets the music breathe without expectations.

Puscifer has always been more than a side project. Formed in the early 2000s, it became Keenan’s experimental playground, blending industrial, electronic, goth, and alt rock into something that feels intentionally uncomfortable. Alongside the haunting presence of Carina Round and the creative backbone of Mat Mitchell, the band has carved out its own lane built on mood over muscle.

Mat Mitchell’s fingerprints are all over “Impetuous.” The track moves with purpose, driven by subtle electronics, creeping bass, and layered textures that feel more cinematic than traditional. Nothing rushes. Nothing explodes. It pulls you in slowly and refuses to let go.

This is music designed for late nights and headphones, where the smallest details matter the most. Puscifer continues to prove they are not chasing trends or volume. They are building worlds, one unsettling track at a time.

If you live for atmosphere, tension, and music that sits with you long after it ends, this one is required listening.

If it hits, we cover it.

Let this sink in. Deftones sophomore album Around the Fur just hit #3 on the Billboard Hard Rock Charts nearly three decades after its original release.

That is not nostalgia. That is longevity, relevance, and impact that refuses to fade.

For the old school Deftones fans, this record is sacred. This is the album that flipped the switch. Rawer. Louder. Dirtier. More dangerous. Around the Fur took everything Adrenaline hinted at and blew the doors off. It pushed Deftones out of the underground and straight into alternative metal history. No polish. No safety net. Just aggression, atmosphere, and emotion bleeding through every track.

This album changed their trajectory forever. It laid the groundwork for White Pony and everything that followed. It proved Deftones were not just another heavy band from the era but a band willing to evolve, experiment, and stand apart from everyone else chasing trends.

Nearly 30 years later and fans are still pressing play. Still moshing. Still screaming along. Around the Fur did not age out. It leveled up.

If you know, you know. If you do not, now is the time.

A$AP Rocky just pulled up with “Punk Rocky” and the video that goes with it, and yeah… it rips.

A$AP Rocky dropped “Punk Rocky” and the accompanying video and this joint feels like he took every rule hip hop has about genre and attitude, tossed it in a fire, and said no thanks I’ll do it my way. This isn’t a gimmick. It’s aggression and swagger filtered through Rocky’s own vision, punk attitude, razor sharp cadence, and visuals that look like a fashion runway collided with a tilted mosh pit.

The video matches the energy perfectly. It’s gritty but stylized, loud but controlled, like he’s inside the chaos but somehow directing it. You get flashes of subculture aesthetics, sharp fits, and that raw Ricky flair that always keeps you guessing.

Someone described this as “punk spirit through a hip hop lens,” and honestly that nails it. It’s genre bending with intention, it feels confrontational, artistic, and unapologetically Rocky.
This track doesn’t just lean into rebellion, it wears rebellion. If you’re into music that refuses to sit inside neat boxes, this is worth your ear. It hits with attitude, style, and confidence that only Rocky could deliver.

If it hits, we cover it. MIXX approved.

is what happens when pop punk grows up, gets louder, and stops asking for permission. Formed online and locked in creatively before ever sharing a room, they built their foundation on connection, chaos, and hooks that hit harder than they have any right to.

Hailing from all over and united by the internet age, Meet Me @ The Altar came together with a shared love for early 2000s pop punk, emo heart, and modern polish. Think blink energy, Paramore fire, and a fearless Gen Z confidence that refuses to play background music for anyone else’s scene.

The vibe is loud but emotional. Catchy but pi**ed. Vulnerable without being soft. They write songs that feel like screaming along in your car after a long week and realizing you are not alone in it. Every chorus is built to be shouted. Every verse carries weight.

The buzz is real because the band is real. No industry plant bu****it. No fake rebellion. They earned their spot through relentless releases, undeniable live shows, and a sound that cuts through a scene drowning in nostalgia acts trying to relive the past instead of pushing forward.

Why should you listen? Because pop punk needs bands like this to survive. Because they represent where the genre is going, not where it has already been. Because Meet Me @ The Altar is proof that the scene is still evolving, still loud, and still dangerous in the best way.

Catch them live at King's in Raleigh on 1/26!

Do not sleep on them.
If it hits, we cover it.

LEON BRIDGES AT RED HAT – SOUL WITH TEETH AND HEART

Leon Bridges did more than play Red Hat Amphitheater on 9/12/25. He owned it. This was not a polite night of background jams. This was classic soul with grit, energy, and emotional intelligence bigger than the stage lights. From the first note to the last echo, Bridges brought something rare, music that makes you feel grounded and elevated at the same time.

Leon’s journey from Fort Worth to global stages has been one of thoughtful transformation. He came up with that vintage sound rooted in old school soul, but he always carried something deeper, connection, history, and vulnerability you can feel in your bones. Tonight reflected that evolution beautifully. Supported by a tight band that breathed with him in every moment, Bridges commanded attention not with volume, but with presence, groove, and honesty.

The crowd was locked in from the jump. You could hear every word sung back at him. Songs like “River” hit with that quiet power that feels like confession. “Beyond” washed over the amphitheater with warm emotion. “Bad Habit” lit up the audience with funky groove and playful swagger. And when he touched into newer material, you could hear fans lean in, matching every rhythm and chord.

Bridges has always balanced crisp musicianship with heart first. Tonight was no different. His voice was smooth and rugged in the same breath, like velvet wrapped around raw nerve. The band held that pocket tight, letting Leon’s head nods, vocal runs, and stage energy tell the story without flashiness, but with real strength.

This wasn’t just a concert. It was a reminder that real music still cuts deep, and Leon Bridges is one of the artists who still knows how to deliver it.

RAW BRIGADE TURNED THE POUR HOUSE INTO A WAR ZONE AND LEFT NO DOUBT HARDCORE IS GLOBAL

Raw Brigade didn’t show up at The Pour House just to open the night. They showed up to invade. Straight out of Colombia, these guys brought a hurricane into a room already buzzing and turned it into full blown carnage. This is not your local basement crew. This is a band forged in streets and stages where survival and sweat are the currency, and they played like they carried all of that with them into the pit.

Vocalist Carlos Chavarriaga leads with a voice that sounds like urgency and truth fused into one raw howl. Guitar, bass, and drums backed that intensity with a tightness that feels like a unit that has been through fire together. They have roots in South American hardcore culture but their impact is universal. Every note, every shout, every breakdown feels like it was forged in conflict and delivered with purpose.

From the first chord it was immediate. Bodies hit the floor with reckless abandon. Fists were raised. Feet were flying. Crowd surfers kept launching themselves into the chaos like they were propelled by the music itself. This was not a “comfortable” crowd. This was a room full of people ready to collide with Raw Brigade’s brand of open wound aggression.

Their sound is fast. It is loud. It is precise. It is violent in the most honest way possible. If Agnostic Front was going to close the night with an earthquake, Raw Brigade dropped the initial tremors that made the crowd forget what direction was up. By the time they finished, The Pour House was already drenched in sweat, adrenaline, and the kind of dirty satisfaction only hardcore can deliver.

If you missed Raw Brigade on this night, you missed one of the purest forms of live hardcore you will see. They did not just play. They detonated.

Violent Way came into The Pour House with zero interest in warming anyone up. They showed up to tear the room apart and they succeeded immediately.

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Violent Way is part of the new blood keeping hardcore violent, fast, and unapologetically physical. This is hardcore rooted in survival mode. No polish. No gimmicks. Just blunt force energy and conviction.

From the second they kicked in, the floor turned into a war zone. Bodies flying. Fists swinging. Feet leaving the ground. The kind of set where you stop thinking about camera settings and start thinking about self preservation.

Their sound is straight street level hardcore. Fast riffs, barked vocals, and breakdowns designed to trigger chaos. There was no barrier between band and crowd, just impact. Every song felt like a challenge thrown directly at the room. And the room accepted it without hesitation.

The pit was feral. Crowd surfers were launching themselves with zero regard. I was dodging fists, shoulders, and boots the entire time while trying to lock shots. At one point I genuinely thought I was going to eat concrete. That is the sign of a real hardcore set. If you walk away clean, it was not done right.

Violent Way did exactly what an opener in hardcore is supposed to do. They set the tone. They made the room dangerous. They stripped the night down to its rawest form before Agnostic Front even touched the stage. By the time they finished, The Pour House was already drenched in sweat and adrenaline and begging for more punishment.

This band is proof that hardcore is not a legacy genre running on fumes. It is alive, violent, and evolving. Violent Way is part of that evolution and if you are not paying attention yet, you are already behind.

Hardcore is alive and well. Violent Way made damn sure everyone in that room knew it.
