I have found the metal at last!!!
I stumbled upon this band by chance:
They are a local group who specializes in hard rock and viking metal.
I was invited to karaoke night at Red Star Bar(Wed. night 8pm - 2 AM ...$4 cover and a valid ID will get you in) by one of the doormen, Josh.

There, I happened to meet their lead singer, Mohawk Mike, who was running the karaoke machine.
After getting to know Mike slightly I decided to go to see his band play first chance I got.
On the 20th of December I attended their concert for the release of their brand new EP "By This Axe I Rule".
Needless to say, I was impressed, and for only $5 you can be too.
If you would like to purchase their new CD feel free to hit me up in my shout box or my YIM: brian_reily@yahoo.com
