Zombies Continued Birthday Party Saturday, January 18th With Speical Guest: Sköll, Broken Soul, Even In Death, Silent Minority, Wings of Abaddon, & INOVO

Zombies Birthday Celebration #2 Event was filled with energy, Music and full people celebrating 4 years (at the location) at Zombies Bar. I and a friend got there a few minutes late (so I missed the first set, SORRY), but my Friend, Javi went early to check the First Band who started the party with SKÖLL(Photos Below)

The fill of the room with the sounds of metal and underground are sounds he has never heard before. He said he wishes the crowd was there to hear the sounds because he was a pretty good singer, and the music that was put together was very differently. It didn't sound like a normal, heavy metal band. Maybe not start a party so early (Ha)! I explained to him, it's NEVER to early to party, plus a lot of bands are playing tonight. 

Next band to play, was Broken Soul. Broken Soul had a singer, named R.C. who just not ONLY Sings, but played the bass as well! Pretty cool because I rarely see singers play bass guitar when they sing, it's usually guitar. Nice change of scene. What I heard their songs, it was very different and yet very poetic. Had a sense of feelings from both bad and good experiences. All there songs were originals which I keep stating, are my most favorite because it not the same o' same o' radio songs we hear on the radio all the time and the songs MEAN something to the band and audience(s). I would like to hear a bit more of this band, as in more songs since there set was a bit short.

Even In Death kept the celebration rolling with their first original, FREEZE. I personally believe this IS going to be their #1 hit of all the songs that are military related! With Spencer, (lead singer),the talented guitars, bass & percussion, these guys got it going on. Showing us how rock STILL Lives ON! \m/

Zombies had another kind of genre in the mix, Punk Rock band, Silent Minority! Incredible sound and yet I felt like it was 1998 listening to some old school Ramones, but yet this band has a twist on the music Punk Rock genre. You gotta check them out to understand what I mean. What I thought was funny, was when I had a few people tell me or actually ask me, 'Isn't that the bartender('s) that was serving me?' I replied, 'Yes, they are and how multi-tasked they are & talented!' 

Keeping the party still going, the next band didn't need an introduction because this band is apparently very known well in San Antonio! Wings Of Abaddon rocked the stage with nothing but solid metal music with wanting all of zombies crowd screaming for more! Lead singer, Kobey changed the setting from Rock genre to Black metal sounds with incredible riffs and sound filling the room with power and intensity! Keep Black METAL ALIVE! It's hard to find and listen to nowadays since It's not the genre you hear everyday!

Last, but certainly not the least, this was actually the last show for the band, Inovo. I have never seen these guys before and yet I had such a privilege to check them out but am sadden this was there final and last show. When the band came out with the banners, lights, and as well a huge crowd with them, they just blew the party right off with the best metal music to DATE! I can't get over how this was there last show. If you missed out, you missed a heck of a crowd and as well the best party that San Antonio had Saturday night!

I want to wish Zombies again a Happy Birthday & thankful you guys are STILL one of San Antonio's Great MUSIC Venues to play and Keep Rocking out great drinks, snacks and People you have working there. I can't wait for Zombies to have another place for music to be played and you can again, Donate(2ND LOCATION) at there location, web and of course, BUY a Zombie shirt! 

I would also Like to thank, my friend, Javier for taking these photos and taking time for me to do these. We DO apologize for the "Redness" of the photos, but the lighting was always red on the stage, so that's out of our control.

What an AMAZING SHOW WITH NOTHING BUT METAL & ROCK N' ROLLL MUSIC FROM THESE INCREDIBLE BANDS!! My Revenge is from Hondo, TX who started the show off right with their amazing vocalist by the drummer, and as well back ups by James Garza.

After their set was over, Even In Death gave the crowd Rock n' Roll beats with their incredible sound and lyrics. They sang some awesome covers & of course, their originals. It makes me so proud to know that Spencer (the lead singer),sings the songs with so much heart, you can tell he sings for OUR TROOPS and his life being apart of the Army. The band overall took the audience to another HIGH for the next band.

Even In Death


Jessikill came out to show us her incredible skills and talent of an awesome vocalist from singer, Jessica Espinoza sang her latest single "Just One try" which was one of the many few originals that she sang flawlessly! The crowd even came close to the stage to metal it up by head banging to some of the covers she did by Dio, "Holy Diver",  Judas Priest (which was my favorite one she did), "Breaking the Law" and a few other's I can't name, because YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS CHICK OUT!!!

 (set list photo, *Out of the Ashes was replaced with Worst Case Scenario)
WOAH! Amazing show to start off the NEW YEAR RIGHT! I seriously have been waiting for these groups to get together and ROCK out the first Friday of the year! If you didn't make it to their show last night, you missed out on some headbanging fun! Worst Case Scenario started the show off right with playing a few rock'n out covers of some of their favorite tunes, including Metallica, The Cranberries, Megadeth just to name a few. Caitlyn's voice just made the crowd hyped up and ready for the Next Band, Elora & The Gasoline Alley.

Elora played as well, a few covers like Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and Journey. I wish she would have played something New from her Album, "Your Girl Tonight" because it show's her TRUE colors in her voice, Please, check out the album and definitely recommend her to sing some of her songs at her shows!

After her set, Even In Death which made the crowd even wanting more! I personally enjoyed their original song, "Freeze" which is a powerful ballad that makes you sing along. "I love that this band plays covers and as well plays originals, I believe this is what makes this band rock on at every show and makes you wanting more" said Marissa, a new Even In Death fan.

Lastly but Definitively NOT LEAST! They Live, a band who drove all the way from Minnesota! and a death punk band brought back punk music to the scene! I haven't really listened to punk since I left Fort Worth, but lets just say I will definitely get back in the groove of listening to death punk music! They played songs from their sample album, "Wolf Attack" and one of my favorites, "Al Azif." 

(They Live, Lead singer)

Overall I believe this year's talented artist throughout San Antonio will be challenged and as well do more incredible things around town. I Highly recommend everyone to check out every band around town, go to show's, talk to them, recommend them to be played on radio stations, and as well become a fan and support your local bands! 
 \m/ Rock out San Antonio! -Kat
