		<description><![CDATA[The June 19 Noctis Kick-Off Show in Calgary, Alta. began with a little Heavy Metal Jeopardy, with game show host JP Wood – best known for his work on CJSW&#8217;s Megawatt Mayhem – firing off questions to three local contestants. Unfortunately, I did not make it to The Distillery on time to witness this awesome display of knowledge, but we hear the questions were tough and those in the line of fire stayed cool under the pressure. Exit Strategy bassist Greg Musgrave claimed victory in the end, winning the grand ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been more than a year since Steve Moore and Gustavo De Beauville laid down the foundations of The Unravelling and started working on 13 Arcane Hymns. There was a lot of work involved in the industrial metal project, from the writing of the songs, to the recording process, artwork, and spreading the word, not to mention finding a line-up of musicians that could help bring The Unravelling to life on stage.
And on May 21, that finally happened.
The Unravelling made their live debut at The Distillery in their hometown, with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dark Tranquillity’s We Are The Void tour made its way through Alberta late last month, crushing Edmonton on May 25, and Calgary the following day. The melodic death metal pioneers from Sweden were joined by Ontario’s Threat Signal as direct support, with New Jersey&#8217;s Mutiny Within opening the show.
Mutiny Within has been a nonstop touring machine since signing to Roadrunner last year and all that road time certainly shows. Their high-energy performance was extremely tight. This young band definitely has some major chops. Their set seemed extremely short, even for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dark Witch Productions put together a face melting death metal show for April 3, 2010 at Vern’s Tavern. Fornication from Calgary Alta. were up first and they set the bar high for the rest of the night. This band has come a long way since they started and their set on this night was impressive. These guys actually stepped in last minute to help out Dark Witch when fellow Calgary band Ominosity was forced to drop off the bill two weeks prior, due to guitarist Andrew Schoepfer breaking his hand.

		<description><![CDATA[To say I&#8217;m a big Alice Cooper fan is a bit of an understatement. My fascination with the king of shock rock started back in 1988 when Alice and crew came to my hometown. After seeing the videos for &#8220;He&#8217;s Back (The Man Behind The Mask)&#8221; and &#8220;Teenage Frankenstein,&#8221; the 9-year-old me decided that this should be the first rock concert I would attend. My mother, on the other hand, did not agree and in doing so inadvertently started a life-long obsession with Alice, and heavy metal in general. These ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you get when you mix Swedish Vikings with Swiss Gauls? Fun. Amon Amarth stormed MacEwan Hall in Calgary, Alta. on April 14 along with their friends Eluveitie. The openers joining the two veteran bands were Holy Grail from Pasadena, Calif.
Holy Grail came on stage to an antsy audience, as most people had shown up fairly early for the concert. The band doesn’t just look like they just teleported in from the &#8217;80s thrash era, their sound is a mix of old school thrash and power metal. The band ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are some things in life that are just meant to be together. They compliment each other: yin and yang, peanut butter and jelly… Last month, there was yet another match made in heaven, or hell rather: zombies and sex. The undead and the undressed were out in full force for Demonika’s fifth annual Symphony of Horrors, which proved to live up, once again, to all the hype the show has garnered over the years. The largest underground show in western Canada featured various artists and performers who challenged all ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Max Cavalera formed the troops and set out on the Blood Fire Hate War tour, which carried the guitarist&#8217;s band Soulfly across North America, including two stops in Alberta.
The first of these shows invaded the MacEwan Ballroom in Calgary on Mar. 27 with the support of Rotting Corpse, Incite, and hardcore industrial metal legends Prong.
Prong hail from Los Angeles, Calif. The city of angels. They left those at home, fortunately, and played an angsty set led by frontman and band founder Tommy Victor. The trio has only two tours ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In early March, Omega Crom set out on a cross-Canada tour to promote their upcoming release, Blood, Steel &#38; Fire [Reversed Records, 2010]. The tour carried them through the heart of the prairies, and as far east as Montreal, before performing their way back toward their home province of British Columbia, where they&#8217;ll end up later this month.
The Vancouver-based metallers had five Alberta dates on the tour schedule, including a crushing set at The Distillery in Calgary, Alta. on Mar. 12. Calgary&#8217;s own Razorwing started off the night. The four-piece ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Death Threat embarked on their Ready Set Attack Tour at the beginning of March, and stopped in at Calgary, Alta on Mar. 11, 2010 to play The Distillery. Joining the Vancouver band on stage were two local acts that brought their own unique style of rock to the bill. Meggido, another local Calgary band, were also scheduled to play but were unable to make the show that night due to unforeseeable circumstances.
Playing their debut show and kicking off the night was Calgary’s Stinger. The band is comprised of some ...]]></description>
