On February 28th many a Pantera shirt will be found in Atlanta, GA. Metal heads from across the south will flock to the Masquerade for the Scion Rock Fest. Yes, a festival is being sponsored by a company that makes rather boxy (ugly) vehicles. The most surprising thing (besides the fairly solid lineup) is that it is FREE.
At the forefront of the lineup are the indie friendly metal acts Mastodon and the Japanese, genre defying Boris. Other notable bands include Neurosis, Wolves In The Throne Room (!!!), Baroness, Harvey Milk, Converge, Cryptopsy, and High on Fire.
Sidenote: While the show is free a ticket will be required to gain entry. I guess you better start calling Atlanta record shops to get a ticket before they are gone.
