This Friday at 5 p.m. prepare yourself for an evening of brutality. This is no show for the weak minded.
The Cafe has hosted open mics and evenings of eclectic rock, but there has yet to be a show with the ferocity that is to come this Friday.
Five bands with five different varieties of "heavy" are coming together to provide an evening of free music.
The Danger of Falling and A Gentleman's Sport, two bands that have been making their rounds at the local venues, will be joined by Mandalorian, In Hills We Thrive and Fifth Column.
This Friday is special for multiple reasons.
- It's Fifth Column's first show in Clarksburg in over eight years.
- It's Mandalorian's first show ever.
- It's In Hills We Thrive's first show in the area.
- The Danger of Falling and A Gentleman's Sport are filled with beautiful, talented men.
Manager Sissy Broadwater grew up around hardcore shows, and she understands the unique atmosphere that comes with them.
"It's a completely different energy," she said, "When someone knows they are going to a metal show, they stretch, get their muscle milk on, wear the appropriate clothing, it's an art. People come to these shows pumped and ready to enjoy themselves and it's a really fun environment to be around."
Fifth Column frontman Michael Triviso goes deeper, describing hardcore music as something more than just a good time.
He said, "I think loud, fast and heavy music is therapy for the soul."
He continued, "Pain, anger, and disappointment - these are emotions humans feel at the lowest times in their lives and sadly most people have no outlet for these feelings ... Heavy music to me, is my outlet and my release. I make sure to let it all out on stage so I can go on and live a normal happy life in my day to day interactions."
Whatever vein of metal melts your face and soothes your soul, there's a good chance you can catch it on Friday.
Whether you want some passionate hardcore (The Danger of Falling), in-your-face metal (A Gentleman's Sport, Mandalorian), finely tuned heavy metal (In HIlls We Thrive), or a melting pot of loud, hard music (Fifth Column), look no further than The Main Street Cafe to satiate your needs.
"Heavy, it's not only the way for us it's the only way, period. It's pure, unadulterated high emotion and feeling. It's the realest emotion on earth," said In Hills We Thrive frontman Sam Linville.
The show is free, I'll say it again, free! This Friday is your opportunity to release all of your tension and pent up anger by moshing to five incredibly talented and incredibly brutal bands.
Why should you come to this show? If the free admission and night full of raging metal doesn't sway you, listen to Sissy.
She said, "All of these bands deserve a crowd. Seriously, all the men and woman who play our stage are stars and they need all the recognition they can get. That and I just started making RedBull smoothies at the cafe and I promise you, this drink will give you wings."
Stay metal.
