Excellent Time
by Shaun on 7/2/19Mr. Smalls Theatre - MillvaleWhen I heard I about this festival, I was excited, yet skeptical not knowing what to actually expect. Wow, did I underestimate this event. There were nine metal bands from across North America that were each excellent in there own right. It turned out that I watched each band in awe one after another. There were two stages being utilized, so when one band finished on one stage another band would start approximately 15-20 minutes later, so there was no down time. Being that I was not familiar with any of the bands, every band was new and exciting. What a day for metal in Pittsburgh and it has been a long time coming. Each band had a merch table and there were several other vendors as well, selling heavy metal wares. The people who worked at Mr. Smalls that day should be commended on the great job that they did (it was a long day for most, if not all of the people involved). Everyone who attended the event was polite and cordial and I did not encounter one jerk/ass. I could probably go through each band, but they all would get a good to great review from me, but a big shout out should go out to the band Lady Beast who hosted the event, particularly the lead singer, Deborah Levine, for making this thing happen. I cannot wait until next year's festival.
