This was my first time to the new, improved Galaxy Club, and I must say- I was impressed! Not only is it much bigger, but the sound systems are enormous! They have two towers of speaker cabinets stacked nearly to the ceilng. Kudos to them.
SOUTHERN STEEL is bass-heavy
southern metal. They had a very "fuck you," attitude, but a small
following of loyal fans. A raging stage show, and good, hard, southern
metal. A couple of their songs were "Killing Spree" (about the
Columbine shootings) and "Circles" (a song by moshers, for moshers). 3/4 TON, some very charismatic, funny guys, played more southern metal that you just couldn't help but head bang to. Any true metalhead is guaranteed to enjoy it. I could definitely see these guys in front of a huge mosh pit, the way they carried on, all over the stage- but it was a Thursday night, so we had a five man mosh pit, stage diving, and head banging like crazy! Not bad for a Thursday night show.
PARADIGM
isn't your
average Fort Worth metal band- they weren't just a bunch of
beer-drinkin bad-asses getting shit-faced and beating the hell out of
each other, and they didn't growl- the singer's voice echoed throughout
the room. They were very serious, and very professional, and still
played some great music. Paradigm is a progressive metal band
that treats metal as an art form. I can't really compare them to
anyone, because their music was all their own, completely unique to
their band- carefully-crafted compositions. They did cover Godsmack's
"Defy You." -Grady Smith, Ftworthmusic.com Editor
