ATL Concert Roundup — May 9-15

THIS WEEK’S BEST BET:

Danzig
w/ 2Cents, DevilDriver
Tuesday, May 10
Center Stage – 1374 West Peachtree Street in Atlanta 30309
Admission $25 ADV / $27 DOS / Purchase Tickets

Explaining why you should go to a Danzig show is fucking inane. The logo tells you everything you need to know. Look at it closely. Shit is black, evil and stupendously fantastic. If the logo doesn’t speak to you, if it doesn’t move you on some deep emotional and spiritual level, Danzig is not for you. This is heavy, bluesy, horror, gothic metal. It tastes like blood and sounds like fire, brimstone and a pack of hungry wolves. If you are a hardcore fan, there is no way in hell you are missing this. Fact: there are no casual Danzig fans.
