  • PLVNET at Barrelhouse Rock Fest

    As the Barrelhouse Rock Fest approaches, I’ve been diving intothe bands set to shake the stage. Knoxville heavy hitters Broken Side and Belfast 6 Pack are primed to bring the energy, but one act in particular caught my ear: Chattanooga’s PLVNET.

  • Belfast 6 Pack to perform at Barrelhouse Rockfest

    Ahead of the Barrelhouse Rock Fest on June 6th, I’ve been diving deep into a few of the bands set to tear up the stage. I already spent time talking with Knoxville heavy hitters Broken Side, but this week I got to check out Belfast 6 Pack – and man, their heavy southern metal feel hit me right in the sweet spot. Their sound is reminiscent of the metal that I hold close. Tracks like Slept with the Devil, Show Me, Whiplash, and Baptized in Whiskey have had me rocking out all week.

  • WELCOME ETERNITY- SECRET CITY METAL MELTDOWNFEST

    Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been diving deep into the catalog of Welcome Eternity. Their sound hits with a powerful blend of heavy grooves, thundering drums, melodic vocals, and razor‑sharp guitar solos. The band pulls from classic thrash and early‑2000s metal, all while carrying a clear nod to the haunting harmonies of Alice in Chains. Welcome Eternity are clearly a band in motion — sharpening their sound, pushing their creativity, and carving out their own lane in the modern metal landscape. With “Katharsis” set to drop and a high‑energy set lined up for the Secret City Metal Meltdown Fest (Oak Ridge, TN March 21 st ), they’re stepping into a moment that feels bigger than just another release cycle. It’s the kind of momentum you can feel building,riff by riff
