Presenting the Inaugural Edition of The Shockwave Festival

Leave a comment

As readers of the PiercingMetal site and companion blog are very aware, we love to go to and cover concerts for the sake of larger awareness and just get a general kick out of seeing bands deliver their goods on the live stage. To me it’s very, very, exhilarating when it all comes down to it and I just find inspiration when I write about them or share photos from the performances with you all. That being said, it gives me great pleasure to announce another new festival that is launching this year for the summer of 2012. Presenting the Shockwave Festival (queue dramatic music).

The inaugural edition of the festival will feature both Fear Factory and Voivod as the apparent co-headliners and I guess depending on your level of excitement about each of them would gauge the level of anticipation in the overall event. Whatever the case may be it joins the ranks of the Rockstar Mayhem Fest, The Summer Slaughter Fest and also appears to be a good replacement for the no longer running Sounds Of The Underground Festival that ended in 2007. Check out the list of the rest of the performers on the event.

The Bands: Fear Factory, Voivod, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Revocation, Havok, Dirge Within, Last Chance to Reason, Vildhjarta, The Browning, Forged in Flame.

Artist: Moonspell
Venue: B.B. King Blues Club (New York, NY)
Opener: Secrets Of The Moon, Divine Heresy, Revocation
Date: 10/18/2009
Label: SPV Records

This past Friday a dank and chilly air set upon New York City and just in time for the show that God Dethroned did down at The Gramercy Theatre and this led us into some heavy rains on Saturday evening that eventually brought us into a very threatening Sunday. There were spots of storms here and there while cold winds blew the damp air right through your bones. All of this was odd this early in October but in truth it seemed to be the perfect setting for a show like this one as Moonspell returned to the USA and New York City once again in support of their “Night Eternal” CD. We missed the last time that they had come into town because the band while opening up for Danzig and Dimmu Borgir would be on the same night as Kamelot, so we opted for that show in the hope that a full set of material from these Dark Kings of Gothic Metal would come sooner than later. The wait was longer than planned an almost a year to the date but since they only played something like twenty minutes at the Danzig show we were confident that nothing was missed which would not be revisited this evening. The show would present some interesting blends of Metal as technical wizardry would come from Revocation and supreme Metal Blackness from Secrets Of The Moon and finally some direct support from Divine Heresy. If you somehow missed out on this show, here is how the evening played out.
