We are extremely proud to announce that we have teamed up with Fontana's Bar in New York City to bring you a monthly showcase full of talented bands, in which our goal is to keep you entertained with a Heavy eclectic mix of music! Our goal since day one has always been to be multidimensional, and we truly believe that for episode one of the Horns Up Rocks Showcase Series all that attend will be very satisfied with this unique lineup.
On Thursday, September 1st, Horns Up Rocks and Fontana's Bar will host episode one of the Horns Up Rocks Showcase! Joining us that night will be Trial By Terror, Thinning The Herd, Fin'amor and Deathalizer. Additionally, our founder Jo Schüftan will be hosting and DJing the event, and the show will be recorded. Jo will also be interviewing every band. Here is some information about the bands:
- TRIAL BY TERROR: While many bands these days are labeling themselves as a Thrash Metal band, Trial By Terror didn't label themselves, they simply decided it was time to take the New York City Heavy Music scene by the balls through uncompromising music that possesses elements of Thrash Metal. Their objective is to breath new life back into the weakening Metal scene with lightning speed riffs and lyrics that are intelligible and powerful. BEHOLD the resurrection of HEAVY METAL!
- THINNING THE HERD: Thinning the Herd was formed in a cloud of smoke, within a recessed canyon deep inside your mind. They make music to sooth beasts souls - rendering them sensitive and comfortable people. Stoner Doom Rock at its best!
- FIN'AMOR: Brooklyn Based Symphonic Metal Band. Expressing emotions of depression, love, and loss through beautifully sculpted pieces. The name Fin'amor comes from a 12th century literary theme centered on the existence and prevalence of "pure" or "true" love. Too often on earth and in music is beauty lost because of our unwillingness to deviate from the complacency of our conformity, true love lost because of our inability to allow this abundance of beauty to encompass us when already surrounded by the hatred, violence, and tragedy that exist in our world.
- DEATHALIZER: This band starts right were Metallica and Pantera left off, mixing the best elements of groove and thrash Metal into an elegant and melodic speed Metal experience. Like their predecessors, Deathalizer is meant to be experienced live and pride themselves on putting an all out show. “We see a lot of bands that are too worried about their hardcore image” says Enmanuel Vanderlinder, lead singer of Deathalizer. “That’s fine by us, but we prefer to let the music do the talking. We want you to feel the guitars in your face, the drums in your guts and the bass in your nuts. We are confident that we will succeed at that.”
