August 20 2018, The Slidebar, Fullerton CA: Last Monday, Metal Assault hosted Volume 3 of our monthly Metal Monday series at the Slidebar in Fullerton. It’s a lineup we were extremely excited about, and as it turned out, this is a show we’re very proud to have put on at this world class venue, the real home of Metal Mondays in Southern California. We had the legendary ’80s LA heavy metal band Bitch featuring living metal goddess Betsy Weiss, who proved that she is still in top form, putting forth a fantastic exhibition of heavy metal singing and showmanship, bringing plenty of her signature sleaze, much to the delight of adoring fans. Main support act Heavy Justice packed and rocked the house with their brand of no-bullshit thrash. San Diego hard rock/heavy metal two-piece Tzimani impressed first-timers with an enjoyable set of guitar shred and melodic hooks. And opening act Worldwide Panic were thoroughly entertaining in their half hour on stage, blending groove metal and comedy to good effect. If you missed it, you should be cursing yourself, but, our man Matt Nielson was in attendance to capture some epic shots to give you an idea of what you missed. Check out his photos below, follow these bands on the interwebs, visit our Events page to see what we have coming up, and if you’re local/close to the area, definitely mark your calendars for our next Metal Monday at the same venue, a very special Volume 4 on September 17!
