Local Loft Episode 139

Save our stages. The COVID-19 pandemic has financially hurt many venues in Chicago and surrounding areas. Some face the reality of closing for good. Some are re opening despite the restrictions. Until it is safe to venture out to a venue, journey by opening up your mind and ears. Local Loft gives you a virtual tour to who's rocking and where.

 

Diabolic Menace from far Southwest Suburban Bradley plays it much like old school progressive thrash metal of the 80s. I've got two singles from them as they join Sinister Fate to conjure up gruesome Halloween images to spook and eerily decorate your subconscious as October begins at Brauerhouse in  Lombard.

Combining graphic,horrific images for 35 years, Chicago Horror Metal trio Macabre returns with scalding sneak peek at their first new full length album in 9 years.

Their name sounded like a severe mind condition. A.D.D. had more brains completely focused than drifting away from their ultra powerful blend of melodic guitar driven metal, with the blazing and intimate vocals of Margaret Young. We go back 7 years this week, when two fourths of the band made the trip to The Kat 105.5 studio to preview their third and biggest record,Core.

Along with these, you're in the hypnotic clutches of the seductive grooves of:

Diabolic Menace-Blame

Sinister Fate-Black Flame(music video version)

Macabre-The Lake Of Fire

M & R Rush-You're The Only Woman (from 1980 Reach For The Stars 10' vinyl EP)
