Music Video - Left Outlet's "Heavy Artillery"

Music video from Left Outlet - check it out!

Left Outlet and The Dead Rabbits Play Slims April 14

On April 14, at Slim's Downtown on South Wilmington Street, some serious rock n' roll was heard.

Raleigh band Left Outlet began the show around 10 o' clock to a highly receptive audience. The band plays Slim's regularly, and the crowd knows what to expect. They have a tight rhythm section with solid bass lines, great vocals with catchy lyrics, and a lead guitar that absolutely wails.

Dead Rabbits were up next, a two-piece band from Georgia with one guitar, one drum kit, and two vocalists. They play in a bluesy garage-rock style that is simplistic, yet that is its charm. The groove is easy to latch on to, and the sound is amazing.

Pathology, Rose Funeral Headline Easter Sunday at Volume 11 Tavern

This past Sunday, April 8, California death metal heavyweights Pathology booked a last minute show along with Rose Funeral. Both were passing through North Carolina on their respective tours, and made a stop at Volume 11 Tavern on Maywood Avenue just south of downtown Raleigh.

Opening local acts included Surgical Onslaught (Greensboro), Noctomb (Raleigh), Engulfed in Afterbirth (Winston-Salem), and Priapus (Greensboro).

All six bands brought their own particular style of heavy music to the table, and it was a night of blast beats and fast riffs.
