BATTLE BEAST Jewel Nightclub Manchester, New Hampshire October 19, 2019 Photos & Review by Michael LaFleche The Jewel in Manchester, NH welcomed a killer power metal lineup headlined by Battle Beast. Opening for the Finnish band was local act Perennial Quest of Everett, MA. Thunderforge, originally from Western, MA and the Slayer-esque, Let Us Prey. After being feverishly warmed up, the crowd was now ready for Noora Louhimo and Battle Beast, the Finnish masters of melodic, catchy power metal. I saw them last month opening for Kamelot in Worcester and they were a powerhouse of insanely well done and catchy power metal. To remind theRead More →

Photos & Review by Frank Piercy July 18, 2015 I have never seen the Bulletboys live until this night. Granted Marq Torien is the only original member, they still sounded great and really worked the stage pushing their new album “Elefante”. Marq has a boundless energy that had him dancing all over the stage. Backing him up are Nick Rozz on rhythm guitar; Chad MacDonald on bass; Shawn Duncan on drums. All I could say was wow!
