2018 was an intense year for metal on the road.  While the year started off terribly with Taake having their US tour cancelled because of terroristic threats made by Antifa, we were still able to take in some great shows this side of the Atlantic.  Here are my Top 5:

5)  Obituary w/ Pallbearer & Skeletonwitch – Philadelphia, PA @ TLA – 5/4/2018

Obituary seems to be firing on all cylinders.  These guys love to play live and it shows.  Pallbearer also has a great live sound.

4)  Corrosion of Conformity – Philadelphia,PA @ The Electric Factory 02/03/2018

No Cross No Crown is maybe my all time favorite COC record.  The more I listen to it, the more I love it.  These guys work hard on the road and it shows.
