Dark Chapel’s Dario Lorina (guitar) and Mike Gunn (bass) (November 2025)

We ran into these guys near the Deschutes Brewery Public House a couple of hours before they went on stage just a few blocks away. We had dinner with them before watching their awesomeness on stage. Great night!

Zakk Sabbath setlist and cues for “After Forever”

but the night before that. One of those “I can’t believe this is happening to me” evenings.

I loved how the setlist didn’t have “Paranoid” and “Iron Man” but did include the other “hits” like “Children of the Grave” and “War Pigs”. I’m wondering if the fact that this tour’s shirts have a knock off of the “Vol. 4” album cover has something to do with his playing so many songs off of “Vol. 4”? I love “Vol. 4”, and if focusing on certain albums is the case I’ll be even more excited should he do something similar in the future for “Sabotage” or “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”. We got zero from those two. 🙁

Kai Hansen of Helloween @ 2018 Copenhell

“In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it’s hell or paradise
Ah it’s Halloween
Ah it’s tonight”

Zakk Wylde of BLS (October 2021)

My random, desktop image of the day (above) is a foreshadowing of this coming Sunday evening.

It feels like forever since I’ve been to a metal show, but it’s been “only” five months.
