Ayo, Metal Insider’s readers, supporters, and music junkies:

Hey there! In the past seven gnarly days, I muscled through work (vegan meal prep is not easy, but I do love a challenge), got to witness Incantation, Goatwhore, and Bewitcher demolish Manhattan’s (Le) Poisson Rouge with a top-tier friend of mine and shook OFF most of the caffeine in my system. So yeah, I’m in great spirits. How about you?

On Thursday, I’m attending something special. That something special is Rage Against the Machine playing at the Garden. I’m really stoked about this.

Anyway, please enjoy considering where to go this entire week. It could be your personal summer highlight, after all. Thanks again for reading. The next free calendar is on me (Ian).
