PiercingMetal Thoughts: After seeing Soulfly in so many different clubs and larger scale venues over the years, I cannot imagine what their set will be like in more intimate settings like that of Saint Vitus Bar and some of the others that are in this healthy run of dates. I’m going to do my best to be at our local show and you should mark them down as well since its always a good time. Closing up I wonder what you fans of the bands playing think about it and will you be considering attending as Winter turns to Spring in 2020. Chime in down below and I shall see you with more soon.
