It is a genuine co-headline rather than a legacy act with a support slot: Dying Fetus have thirty-plus years of riffs and Sanguisugabogg are the loudest argument that death metal has a young audience again. Crowbar in the middle of that is a different, slower kind of heavy and a real draw on their own. Brooklyn Steel's room and PA suit this better than any club in the city.

What to expect

A converted industrial space with a big open floor, a genuinely loud sound system and a pit that opens early. Four bands means a long night that starts earlier than most Brooklyn Steel shows, so arriving late costs you a full set. Expect merch lines and a crowd that skews toward the co-headliners rather than casual attendees.

Good to know

  • This is a four-band bill, so the first set starts close to doors - arriving late means missing a whole band
  • Brooklyn Steel is on Frost Street in East Williamsburg, a walk from the L at Graham Avenue
  • There is a pit and it opens early; the back and the sides stay calmer if that is not your thing
  • Bring earplugs - the room is loud even by metal-venue standards
  • The early start means this one ends at a reasonable hour for a metal show
  • Check the venue's bag policy before you go rather than at the door
