Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

A Second to Die
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve spent a lot of time discussing metal lately, both in its traditional and innovative forms. It’s earned me the ire of some and the praise of others, and apparently broken up at least one band (that’s unconfirmed, but I hear that Malo de Dentro split because the singer didn’t like me making fun of his saying, ‘fuck you if you don’t support local music’ and then splitting before any of the other bands played when I wrote this story).
Although I definitely prefer the underground, unorthodox forms of the genre, there’s good stuff that leans more traditionally as well. I mention it because if that’s your thing, you should pencil in a show at Chasers this coming Saturday, June 16. It features Pathetic, Fracture Point, Sanity in Death, A Second to Die, and In This Mind. The show’s all ages, costs six bucks, and starts at 7 p.m. The promoter thoughtfully put together a CD sampler of the bands to pimp the show, and from what I’ve heard, it’s all pretty solid. See for yourself:
Pathetic – “Agnostic Nostalgia”
A Second to Die – “With This”
