Metal Mania <strong>2020</strong><br />
TStretch thy neck muscles and prepare for banging of thy head as <strong>2020</strong><br />
looks to be a gracious year for metal mania abroad. The Haven hosts<br />
Vader, The Pantera Experience, and The Central Florida Metal Fest. The<br />
Soundbar bar is hosting Soulfly and Life of Agony. Queensryche is again at<br />
Plaza <strong>Live</strong>. House of Blues welcomes metal pioneers Overkill and Exhorder.<br />
Daytona International Speedway transforms itself into a weekend of metal<br />
and punk for the <strong>2020</strong> “Welcome Back To Rockville “ concert (previously<br />
held in Jacksonville), headlined by 2 nights with none other than thrash<br />
titans Metallica. Some of the notables for this show include Social Distortion,<br />
Anthrax, Mastodon, Deftones, Lamb of God, Rancid, Godsmack and<br />
hardcore legends Agnostic Front to name a few. I highly recommend taking<br />
Monday off for this one. The Tampa Bay area has a lot of tasty treats as well<br />
this year. Time to get your mosh on, kiddies!<br />

Oozing Wound’s “High Anxiety” was released by Thrill Jockey Records in<br />
2019, in follow up to their 2016 “Whatever Forever” with an aggressive<br />
thrash, sludge concoction that will get yer head a banging. This three-piece<br />
hails from the Windy City of Chicago and formed up in 2013. I suggest giving<br />
these guys a listen; your earholes will be blasted upon for sure. Tracks like<br />
“Riding the Universe” and “Die on Mars” showcase Oozing Wound’s ability<br />
to pound out some shredding riffs and driving percussions. I detect a hint of<br />
Down mixed with a tad of Dark Angel from this trio.<br />

Was there a predecessor to Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” sound? Let the<br />
controversy begin. Enter New Orleans’ own Exhorder with their debut album<br />
“Slaughter In The Vatican”. Released on Roadrunner Records in 1990,<br />
Exhorder was able to bridge the gap between groove and thrash metal and<br />
help invent the Louisiana metal scene at that time. The comparison with<br />
Pantera is primarily with the vocals and not so much the guitar sound. On<br />
“Slaughter In The Vatican “, Exhorder uses the dual guitar combo along with<br />
the double kick drum action for pure excellence, but it’s singer Kyle Thomas’<br />
angry/vulgar, gruff vocals that give it that “ Phil “ sound. “Desecrator” is<br />
the highlight of the album, with its killer thrash intro and hilariously angry<br />
lyrics. But there are plenty of other gems to enjoy, including “Death in<br />
Vain”, “Exhorder” and “The Tragic Period”. One last thing to consider<br />
though; whereas Pantera released their epic in 1990 also, “Slaughter In The<br />
Vatican” was first self-released by Exhorder in 1988 thus making them the<br />
kings of the “Big Easy” sound.<br />
