The Details: For those who are not in the know, the band Mago De Oz are a fantastical experience of music from Begoña, Madrid that have been in action since their formation in 1988. They are a Spanish/Folk Metal band that has a strong Celtic vibe to their sound and they use many traditional instruments such as flutes and violins to enhance their audiences experience during concerts. Their name is the Spanish translation for “Wizard Of Oz” and according to their drummer it was chosen because “life is a yellow brick road, on which we walk in the company of others searching for our dreams.” (quote cribbed from the bands Wiki). Though I’ve not yet seen them myself I am told that their shows are unforgettable experiences and that makes me happy to offer this latest contest to our readers and Social Networking followers thanks to the marketing teams at the Stage 48 venue. Please read more below to know the scoop. Continue reading Win A Ticket For Mago De Oz @ Stage 48 On 6/10/2015→
The Details: If you know your Metal history and consider the Gothenburg sound to be one of your favorite of the vast offerings then you already know full well the power and impact that the band Dark Tranquillity has had upon the musical geography since their inception in 1989.

The Details: I still remember the Folk Metal thrashing that the fans got when Finntroll first came to the states as the opening act for the Sodom tour back in 2006 and without trying to sound disrespectful, they were an incredibly hard act to follow and the Germans had their hands full. The visit showed the band that returning to these parts was good hunting in the name of Metal and since that fateful night they have released four more albums and knocked our socks off with each and every visit. Its been a couple of years but now the band is returning to the new Stage 48 club and bringing along the mighty Blackguard and Metsatoll from Estonia for good measure. You know you don’t want to miss out on this one. The show itself excites me, and even more so now that the marketing team at this beautiful space have offered a couple of tickets to my ardent supporters.
