Blog Updates & Upcoming Shows

Hey metal fans, things have been pretty quiet over here during my winter break but the show will be up n' running again soon, so look for updates to follow over the next few weeks. In the mean time I just wanted to let followers of the show & blog know that The Combine will be amped up this semester with more interviews and blog content than before. Keep your eyes peeled for interviews with Revocation (myspace.com/revocation), Cameron Argon of Disfiguring The Goddess (myspace.com/disfiguring) and now Burning The Masses (myspace.com/burningthemasses), and many more!

I'm definitely excited about the coming semester and all the new stuff I'm hoping to bring to the show and blog, I hope you are too. Stay tuned for updates, I'll keep you posted. In the mean time here's a list of metal shows in the area you might want to check out.

Hopefully I'll see you in the pit at a few of these. On a note of personal recommendation, I would highly recommend seeing The Acacia Strain at their DVD release party on February 12. Tickets are only $10 and they always put on an amazing show, not to be missed in my opinion. Come catch me when I stage dive! Haha.
