Awwwww shit, here we go again, There are so many excellent gigs to attend in early May! Have fun looking through some of the best highlights below. And for even more eye pleasing content follow Metal Insider’s socials to be in the know for all things heavy. This May is going to be nothing short of ridiculous.

May the metal be with you,
