March 14 2020, Old Towne Pub, Pasadena CA: Despite COVID-19 concerns, it was business as usual at our favorite watering hole in Pasadena, the OTP, and it was a three-pronged, all-local lineup, featuring prog trio Hexicon, hard rock group Low Octane, and rock ‘n roll / heavy metal quartet Blackwater Reds (also the newest addition to the list of confirmed bands for Metal Assault Mixtape: Vol. 3). Our photographer Haley Caroline was on site to capture some images for your viewing pleasure. Check them out below.

March 13 2020, Callahan’s Irish Pub, Azusa CA: As they say, the show must go on, and last Friday, it sure did, as LA acid doom unit Old Blood and Orange CA rock ‘n roll / classic heavy metal group Tyranis joined forces to rock a tiny dive bar in the San Gabriel Valley.  This year’s Friday The 13th festivities saw spellbinding performances by Old Blood and Tyranis, and our photographer Haley Caroline was on site to capture some stills in an attempt to provide you a visual recap of the event (please keep in mind that she did so in a very dark room, with no stage lighting). Check out the images below, and be sure to keep tabs on both bands’ activities for much more very soon. Continue reading “Photo Gallery: Friday The 13th feat. Old Blood & Tyranis”

March 11 2020, The Down N Out, Los Angeles CA: Volume 8 of our weekly “Heavy Wednesdays” series at the DNO in downtown LA took place last week, featuring three killer local bands, hard rock / heavy metal quartet Strange Legend, grindcore / sludge / experimental group Flesh And Machine (returning after rocking Vol. 7 the week prior), and bluesy hard rock power trio Blue Beethoven. Despite the uncertainty and panic in the air as a result of COVID-19, a good time was had by all involved. We had our photographer Trinidad Valdez (False Door Photo) in attendance to enable us to give you this visual recap of the event. Check out the images below, and even though a few of our immediately upcoming events have been canceled due to COVID-19, including a couple of the Heavy Wednesdays, please do keep tabs on our Events page for the latest up-to-date MA event calendar.
