It’s a cold dark night nothing unusual about that or is it? Well this night something happened unlike anything you’ve possibly experienced well perhaps some have experienced but those who have are now long gone. Where am I going with this… well it just so happens that the holocaust is upon us! But not just any old holocaust this is Toxic Holocaust.

Founded in 1999 Joel Grind the man behind the music wrote and recorded all of the band's music himself over the years building up quite a portfolio of tunes, unleashing over a handful of various demos, splits, EPs, and several studio albums to keep the music well balanced. After unleashing such brutality across the world there was nothing left to do than to spread the word and that he did, by touring all over the world winding up in a city familiar to everybody’s knowledge Los Angeles and not just any Los Angeles, this was Los Angeles, California.





Out at a place called The Blvd spectators of all ages gathered watching and waiting for the night to wrap itself up as brutality was about to commence the stage, Joel and his fellow band mates Phil Zeller (bass) and Al Chambers (drums) walked upon the stage grasping their instruments as the brief sound checking had begun. But as soon as it had begun it was soon over for the real performance was underway thundering right along through its hour long set. This contained such tunes as “Wild Dogs”, Joel discussing briefly “Let’s summon the beast” breaking into “666”, which kept on rolling right into other hits such as “Future Shock”, “War Is Hell”, and “Nuke the Cross”.





As Toxic Holocaust continued to play the crowd brought on the heat more and more not only being soaked in sweat from head to toe, but the crowd standing in front of the stage were being tossed around quite a bit some even falling to their knees if not being thrown or slammed onto their back from another spectator. It was a night unlike any other because this night was the night of the holocaust!

Even though Easter Sunday (April 4) wasn’t happening until the following day, it sure had arrived a lot sooner than expected…. Why do you ask? Well it just so happens that Los Angeles, Californian’s known as Terror have something to do it with because on April 3rd the Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California had let loose to a dozen if not more, bunnies of their own accord….




What do I mean exactly? Well let’s say that front man vocalist Scott Vogel encouraged most of it asking the audience of hardcore thrashers to hop right up onto the stage and dive right back into the crowd. Thus the term “bunnies” now comes into a better perspective don’t you think? Anyway as soon as Terror’s set had begun it was soon over because the hardcore thrashers have indeed a short length in songs but the set just kept on flying right through everybody witnessing it.




As the set was rolling right along though numerous fans who had invaded the stage jumping from the left hand side and the right would occasionally snatch up the microphone and begin doing their own rendition of how the song went, believe it or not all the fans knew each and every song word for word. But as the set was wrapping itself up and Scott had stated that he had wanted the fans to help sing-along to almost every song performed, it was time to close it up once and for all, Terror concluded their set with such songs as “One of the Under Dogs”, “Lowest of the Low”, “Keep Your Mouth Shut”, and “Always the Hard Way”.




Terror’s enthusiasm brought out the best of the crowd of concert goers for they would not be here if it wasn’t for them and if it wasn’t for the music that had started it.



If you’re still a little hung over from the giddiness that was St. Patrick’s Day then you probably didn’t miss much on the first night of The Royal Family Clothing Tour, held March 17, 2010 at the famous Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, California.

Opening up the night was none other than Sleeping With Sirens a blend of Drop Dead Gorgeous meets A Skylit Drive combining the vocal attics of A Skylit Drive’s style with the musical effects that is poor constructed of Drop Dead Gorgeous. The set lasted no longer than 20 minutes given taken the constant talking that was discussed throughout most of the set time, the band’s overall performance structure lacked it quality while the sound was just plain overrated.

Following them was one of the two locals, known simply as Black Veil Brides whose dedicated fan base was already in place chanting eagerly “BLACK VEIL BRIDES, BLACK VEIL BRIDES, BLACK VEIL BRIDES” like the broken record that they are, the fans showed the band that they were true blue. That of course being the case once their set begun bringing out the pure emotional concept from beginning to end. Thus included the band draped in their black attire with arms and faces painted with black face paint indicating their resemblance to that of Kiss. As far as the musical portion portrays the Black Veil Brides threw on quite a performance. From Andy Sixx’s growling moments down to the dazzling guitar riffs presented by guitarists Jinxx and Jake, given take letting bass player Ashley have his moment to shine. Not to mention Sandra who beat the living hell out of her drum set, declaring that the Black Veil Brides are indeed the next big thing in metal.

Confide was up next being the second local act to grace the stage for the night. Their set lasting no longer than their previous counter parts, the band made the best of what they can offer, offering more than they bargained for when performing not just one but two new songs from their upcoming untitled release due out in May. The band was pleased with themselves as was the crowd. Confide not only brought on the bouncy giddiness but maintained to keep a high momentum of energy constantly flowing never letting the energy go to waste.
