Happy (finally) October to you and all the pumpkin kings and queens! Between Airbourne, Eric Clapton, Testament, and Wednesday 13 over the last week, we’ve been absolutely blessed and full of an absolutely fantastic September. That feels awesome, but I think we need to turn the RPM on our lives up a little more.

October will electrify like the distortion from a guitar. I’ll (Ian) be brief in this intro before the goodness and remind you that we (Metal Insider) listed so many awesome new shows via the source for concert info this week (NY / NJ specifically). The best of them are highlighted below. Thanks for taking a spare moment out of your time planning also what to do on October 31st, the night of the witch. This October’s gonna rule.
