Are we forgetting about the up and coming bands that fill up a venue better than these old schoolers. What about reflections, we are the blog!, and rochester minnesota’s very own “tonight’s the night”?

Thanks for mentioning KFAI. I could go on all day about the great DJs we have in the area. Did you hear GATA and The Rope on Across the Board, by chance? We are very lucky to have radio stations like KFAI, The Current and Radio K for promoting local and other generally under appreciated music.

Great article. And thanks for telling me about the show at the Hexagon, I’ll have to scoot on down. (Right in my backyard, awesome!) I missed the Varsity show, but I was at the Triple Rock. Gabriel and the Apocalypse have been on my radar since I heard of them on KFAI. Which is also where I heard the Rope. I really enjoy living in a town that’s overrun with bands.
And I’ll have to tell a fellow fan about the Hex show. I owe her a drink.

Awsome list, Brandon! Thanks for posting. We don’t usually focus on metal for our shows, so I kept the blog to the “darkwave” bands, however note that Cwn Annwn is opening for I:Scintilla on March 30. I 100% agree that there is some great metal in the Twin Cities.

I’ll add a few to your list….Hate Beast, Johnnyrook (kinda but not really metal but they seem to hang with the metal bands), Whithering the Tide, Screaming Mechanical Brain, Black Flood Diesel, Nuisance, and Thira.

Hello, I appreciate the mention of the local metal scene, as I have been a participant for quite some time. I felt the need to throw out some names, of a few of the very talented bands that make up our scene. In the shadows of the “hardcore” or “deathcore” scenes headed by After The Burial, and Your Memorial, there’s a very strong underground extreme metal scene that I feel gets overlooked. There are extremely talented musicians that play in this ghost scene we call home. Unfortunately the scene is close to dead for death n thrash metal, so bands like Australis, Demonicon, and Bloodgeon are small dots on the radar. Yet names that time after time get better, more solid, and bring a truly professional show for the audience, who at most times is a drop in the bucket. Bands like Noble Beast, and Dawn of Valor. Cwn Awnwn (if I spelled that right, my bad Neil.), and Cold Colours holding up the power and melodic metal genre. Bands like Viral Mutation, Daigoro, The Terrordactyles, In Defense, Rivet, and my band Deretla representing the Thrash scene, and new bands up and coming like Plagued Insanity, Lockgnar, Efinheimer, and Invidiosis. Minnesota has an amazing underground/extreme metal scene, that has very few local supporters. The greater majority of the scene are people in bands, and it is unfortunate to see these talented artists struggle to draw a crowd. I watch shows fill up all the time when a national band of the genre comes through. Bands like Cannibal Corpse, Kreator, Overkill, and Origin filling the room with fans of extreme metalheads. There is a market, there are enough participants to have a scene. Just wanted to throw this up here, an apology to anybody I forgot, thanks for your time.

So much great music to keep track of! Thanks, rbwilliams207 :) Doesn't look like Cepia or Mystery Palace have any shows planned at the moment, but here are the links I found for anyone else who wants to check them out:

No mention of Cepia or Mystery Palace. For instrumental electronics, Dissociate is the best. For Darker stuff, Amdeide was king- but he’s now in New York.
Then for electro pop, nothing beats Mystery Palace.

Thanks for the update, David! The new tracks that have been performed live are great. Can’t wait to get my grubby little paws on a full length album
