Metal, metal, more metal

There was a doubleheader of heavy metal last weekend at the House of Targ. Friday took the more traditional route, with old schoolers Cauchemar, NWOBHM fans Metalian and local black metallers Black Tower. The Tower gang hit the stage first; they have just released there first album, The Secret Fire. Here's Erin between growls.

It's been a while since I saw Cauchemar live; they played a set at the old House of Targ back in 2013 while they were recording with Yogi at Meatlocker Studios. They recorded a new album earlier this year, slated for a release in 2016. The Targ crowd got to hear new tunes and also check out their new drummer, Xavier. Here's Annick doing their patented tolling bell intro (no bell required).

It's no longer a surprise (if it ever was) to see Metalian play the House of Targ, and even less surprising this time around since Andres from Cauchemar is also in Metalian. This was another killer set from heavy metal's best kept secret, starting off with some Sabbath.
