The Antiprism, Romero, and Systemic Torment at Inferno
Wausau band Romero proves good things can happen when punk dudes go metal, and even when they delve into stoner-droner territory. Guitarist-vocalist Jeffrey Mundt played drums in Naked Aggression, and drummer-vocalist Ben Brooks handles the same duties in Wausau's epic metal-hardcore hybrid Poney. The trio's riffs (and Joshua Stanchik's ringing basslines) blaze up on Sleep and Sabbath, but Brooks' and Mundt's blown-out yells add a harsher dynamic that keeps Romero out of pot-rock caricature mode. Headlining this show is Madison four-piece The Antiprism, whose strong 2009 self-titled album wandered the mists between black metal and Iron Maiden.
