[DID NOT ATTEND: June 16, 2024] Pallbearer / REZN / The Keening
I’m more or less done with going to heavy metal shows. There are still a few bands I’ll go to see, but overall, there’s not much left that I’m curious about.
Pallbearer are a doom metal band (a subgenre I find myself drawn to more than other subgenres), but they mix in elements of prog metal as well, which is a major draw for me. I’ve never seen them, but I would very much like to.
I dithered about this show because I had a few other shows around it and wasn’t sure if I wanted to go out on a Sunday night. Then about two weeks before the show I realized that this was Father’s Day, and I certainly wasn’t going to go to a metal show by myself on Father’s Day.
REZN is a band I didn’t know, but when I checked out a few songs I really liked them. Angry Metal Guy describes
an esoteric brand of psychedelic doom that finds unique ways to incorporate each member’s talents. Synth maestro Spencer Oulette boasts credits for piano, sax, and flute, and bassist Phil Cangelosi even busts out a rainstick to set the mood.
