I made a brief stop by Saturday’s Metal Summit IV at Sound Exchange. The show was awesome and the fans? Fucking phenomenal!!! I only were able to catch two of the bands playing but that’s OK because I mainly wanted to catch some of the fans and just show off how cool they all were. So consider this post just that, a celebration of the fans who keep the Metal alive - this one’s for you.
Andrew Wells and Joshua Vickery. Joshua explains it all, 'This is about scene unity and awareness and getting young blood to come in and keep the scene alive which is something the scene desperately needs.'

Would have been nice for a little bio on each band and to thank Stephanie Baylis of D’struxion Produxions for helping the out-of-town bands make a little gas money the night before at The White Swan. Especialy after nearly all the locals left and didn’t even get to stay and hear TURBID NORTH or VASTE BURAI. Major props to them and THE GRAVESTONES for terrorizing Houston…for basically FREE! Any of you H-town bands willing to drive to DFW and show us what you got? BTW, Kurt and Sound Exchange…YOU RULE!!! Please buy records, tapes and CDs from SE. Downloading is killing the music business!
All good points
John,
Normally I would take the time to review the bands but Saturday night my time was restricted and I only had about an hour to pop my head in. Not much time granted but enough to appreciate what was going on. Fear not, I’ll be hitting a lot more metal shows in my rounds of the Houston music scene so don’t worry - just consider this a very small prologue to more and better coverage in the future. Granted, my time was limited here but I hope that in a small way that this migh peak someone’s interest into attending more metal shows.
Thanks

PS. I think Houston has some bands that are worth DFW’s time.
I am grateful for any press coverage that our metal scene receives, so thank you, thank you. The fact that you came out at all speaks volumes.
Real amazed by the local talent and the show that Turbid North put on. Lot’s of good memories at sound exchange and this was added to the list of ‘em
