This was one of those shows that separated the true from the false, the poseurs from the authentic headbanging stalwarts of the metal scene. This was the closest approximation of the hall of which Manowar spoke, the same hall that Sarcofago said falses must not entry because they would consequently be burned and died. This shit was serious. It was also another instance of Piranha Bar picking up the slack with the metal shows in this city. It is becoming a real nexus point in Montreal's metal scene, as the improved space in the bar's upstairs area is able to take on more and bigger shows. I find this to be a welcome change, as we can use all of the friendly venues for heavy metal music that we can get.

CJLO is pleased to team up with Kickdrum to co-present Raveen with Ivory Hours, St. Lawrence Warehouse Company, and Men & Company at Reggie's Bar (1455 de Maisonneuve O.) this Saturday, April 2nd.
