The evening commenced as the three-piece metal band Hanged took the stage for their debut live performance, quickly establishing themselves as a powerful new force in the metal scene. The night reached its climax with Inherent Doom, who unleashed their distinctive brand of crushing Doom Metal, delivering a powerful finale that cemented The Blooze as the perfect destination for your weekly metal fix.

Magnum Axxe captivated the audience at the event by showcasing their signature classic and melodic metal sound. This offered a refreshing counterpoint to the earlier Doom and Thrash performances. The blend of styles provided attendees at The Blooze with an enjoyable array of metal genres, ensuring a thrilling experience filled with chaotic energy for every metal fan.

The pounding rhythms from bassist Jim Warren and drummer Roc Boyum drove the energy, while Horace Miller's blistering guitar solos and the fiery vocals of their front-man, Mark Keller, captivated the audience.

On this particular night, the band's sound felt a bit more overdriven compared to previous performances I've witnessed, perhaps due to the sound engineer's preference for a heavier vibe this evening.

The band has also revealed that they will be releasing their first compilation, featuring a yet untitled three-song EP that includes their latest track, “Edge of Vengeance.” If “EOV” serves as a preview of the band's debut release, this EP promises to be heavy while still showcasing their signature melodic rhythms, captivating lyrics, and scorching vocals.
