AEraeder
By ÆRæder https://fb.me/e/5CCkEeyCh Venue https://clubunderground.net/ – 355 Monroe St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 Another consistent advocate and host of local metal and heavy music in the Twin Cities. Some of the best ambience for an extreme metal show you can find. The menu upstairs at the Spring Street Tavern is pretty good. Parking options in… Read more

Show Recap – 06/14/2025 – Slag / Die Hard Corps / Inhuman Scourge / Mellow Harsher @ Pilllar Forum
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue https://www.facebook.com/pilllarforum / https://www.pilllar.com/ – 2300 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418 Another great show at Pilllar (3 Ls). A small venue with fantastic sound. A decent amount of offerings at the bar. Split into two spaces, the showroom and the cafe, it can be a tight squeeze to navigate and there… Read more

Show Recap – 05/03/2025 – Reaping Asmodeia / With Dead Hands Rising / Den of Thieves / Caustic Abyss @ Zhora Darling
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Zhora Darling – 509 1st Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 Another excellent experience at Zhora. Having the full bar in the restaurant side with the partial in the show room is always nice. They were running a “beer & bump” special with a fairly wide range of shot options for only… Read more

21 Spins: Shotgun Facelift – Red River Flood (LP)
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder After purchasing and listening to this album over 21 times, here is my take: Sound/Mix Shotgun’s style allows for the feel of the tunes to come through on a range of speaker qualities. The heavy metal aspect of their sound carries it on basic earphones or portables (which I appreciate so I… Read more

Show Recap – 04/25/2025 – Tom Croxton Benefit Recovery Show @ Club Underground
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Club Underground is an awesome, low key venue. A dark and edgy atmosphere nestled in the basement beneath the full service bar/restaurant of Spring Street Tavern. Excellent wings! Decent parking; big enough lot and neighborhood street parking. Nice patio to smoke between sets that we definitely underutilized. Sound We think this… Read more

Show Recap – 04/16/2025 – Begravement / Hanging Wound / Pursuit / Nekrotisk @ Pillar Forum
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Pillar is a nice little spot that hosts metal shows fairly frequently. Small parking lot, mostly neighborhood street parking, so that helps to keep the cost down for the showgoer. A variety of cans of beer, THC, and non-alcoholic drinks available at an ok price. Stage was a half pipe when… Read more

Show Recap – 04/18/2025 – Shotgun Facelift / MVRROW / Malachite @ Underground Music Cafe
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Venue Second show in two days here, and always trying to presume positive and build to positive. Went in with a more solid gameplan on how to hit this venue. Being accompanied by my beautiful partner of 22+ years made it easier, as did the Friday night context. Parking options are plenty… Read more

Rage Therapy – Caustic Abyss: Eternal Winter Crypt
Iron Mike
Review by Iron Mike Setup The name of this band grabbed me before the album came out. Probably because it reminded me of Caustic Affliction, who knows. I also love getting in on the ground floor with cool stuff, and a new pro-caliber extreme metal band ticks that box for sure. After hearing some on… Read more

21 Spins – Pursuit: Earth Created Humans Because It Wanted Plastic (EP)
AEraeder
Review by ÆRæder Sound/Mix The sound/mix is solid all around. I listened to this on headphones, in my truck, and on a small Wonderboom portable (Due to some illnesses and work schedules, I was not able to crank it on our Vizio M21D, but, I think that is OK). In the truck and on headphones… Read more
