PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’m going to keep my thoughts super simple for this one and say that since I really enjoy the kind of Metal that Evergrey delivers, that attending this show is a bit of a no brainer for me. Also it will be at the very intimate space of the Marlin Room which is the middle venue space in the Webster Hall building. They don’t put up a barrier between fans and band in this space and the stage is long so the maximum amount of fans can get right up front. Okay so it’s a little arduous on photographers unless you get a good spot but such is life in media. I’ve caught Voyager in the past and they are pretty solid but Oceans Of Slumber and Borealis are new names to my Metal radar so it will be nice to add them to the “bands seen in life” list. What do you readers think about this tour and its limited run of dates? Will you be attending? Let’s discuss in the comments section below.
