Bonded By Blood, Exmortus, Witchaven, Martyrd: Pictures from Free Show in Queens, NYC 3-28-09

After a series of venue switches, the Masters of Disaster tour hit Maric Lanes in Astoria last Saturday night. This was an old-school, up-close experience with four hard-hitting thrash bands playing on the top floor of this Queens bowling alley.



It was a great show - the bands gave it all and the crowd gave it right back. It was also nice to see that a good number of people made it out for the show, especially with this show having come together at the last minute.

The Masters of Disaster tour is currently in the Mid-West and are working their way toward the West Coast where they will be playing with Exumer on the final night of the tour (May 1st at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood).

4/4 Aurora IL-Dougs Rock House
4/7 Des Moines IA-Vaudville Mews
4/8 Kansas City MO-Riot Room
4/9 Lincoln Nebraska- Knickerbocker

Bonded By Blood Announce Free Thrash Metal Show in Brooklyn (Earache Records)

Pomona, CA thrash metal band Bonded By Blood makes their first NYC appearance at a free show at The Water Grill in Brooklyn on March 28th. Bonded By Blood are currently out on the "Masters of Disaster" tour and tour mates Exmortus and Witchaven will also be playing at the show in Brooklyn.

"We're all real psyched to be playing in NYC for the first time;" said Bonded By Blood vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales. "A bunch of our favorite thrash bands started there. Spider Man lives there and now we're coming with a gift for all our NY fans who've been dying to see us." That gift is that of a FREE show. With the crowd being able to save money due to no admission fee, Barrales suggests that they instead invest it in pizza. "Everyone should buy pizza. We want to throw the world's largest thrash pizza party."

Bonded By Blood's released their debut CD, Feed the Beast, last year summer on Earache Records. Metal-Observer.com described this disc as "awesome performances and beastly song writing with a very good thrash metal production".

The Brooklyn show is Saturday night (March 28th) and starts at 7PM. The Water Grill is located at 7026 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.
