  • Mon Nov 16 7 pm,
    Three Inches Of Blood, Saviours, Holy Grail, and To Be Eaten at Marquis Theater

    Rescuing heavy metal from the back rooms of American sports bars and putting it in the earbuds of indie-rockers has earned bands like Mastodon, The Sword, and Oakland’s Saviours the backhanded sobriquet “hipster metal.” Still, that’s hardly a fair assessment of the group’s sound, which crams black-tarred gobs of Venom and St. Vitus into a frenzied, buzzing, welt-raising assault with zero irony. Last year’s sophomore effort for Kemado, Into Abaddon, is every bit as punishing as fellow thrash revivalists Skeletonwitch.
