Heavy Sounds Coming from New Orleans and Flint
Out-of-town acts throw down at Basement Transmissions
Friday, July 27
Basement Transmissions is the place to be when Cane Hill and King 810 bring their acts to Erie to headline a night of headbanging.
Cane Hill, from New Orleans, released their third full length album, Too Far Gone, earlier this year, and has continued to make headway in the metal scene. Their industrialized nu-metal sound on this album features vocals simply spoken almost as often as they are sung or screamed (think Ministry meets Slipknot meets Marilyn Manson), but they don't forget their metalcore roots in songs like "Scumbag."
King 810, from Flint, Michigan, are a heavy band that has flirted with quiet, soft songs on previous albums, like "Me & Maxine" from 2016's La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God, but their latest release, Queen, does something few expected — an entire stripped down EP. While not technically a metal album, Queen is haunting in its own way, with low, almost whispered vocals on top of piano and swelling horns. Despite this out-of-the-ordinary release, King 810 are still a metal band at heart, and you should fully expect your ears to be ringing after their set.
Opening acts on the bill are fellow Pennsylvanians Last Ten Seconds of Life, and Erieites SHIVER and Shattered Utopia. — Tommy Shannon
