Northlane are gaining a lot of traction as an upcoming artist in Australia. They just wound up on our radar this year, and their album quickly shot to number one on iTunes Australia during its initial release. You may or may not have heard of Northlane, but their homeland status is large enough to land them a tour headlining over internationally recognized acts Structures and Stray From The Path! Brisbane-based photographer William France attended the tour’s second stop at Eagelby Community Hall, and you can view the photos below.

Killswitch Engage 2013 tour

Killswitch Engage were a gateway into metal for many folks, and their first US headlining tour in support of Disarm the Descent featuring returning original vocalist Jesse Leach was like a throwback to 2002, especially with the original plan to have As I Lay Dying performing as direct support. Instead, Darkest Hour were added to the lineup, which still made for a great show. Photographer Maclyn Bean attended the June 11th date in New York City, and photos of the show can be seen below.

Clutch & The Sword

A tour featuring Clutch and The Sword is probably one of the more fitting touring partnerships to grace North America in the past few months. The stoner rock appeal is through the roof, and even the tour poster itself brings to mind the smell of cannabis and the vibrations of massive grooving riffs. Photographer Maclyn Bean attended the show in Philadelphia, and when asked about how strong the smell of pot was on a scale of 1 – 10, his response was “7/8,” so I’m guessing that’s pretty telling.

Check out photos from the show after the jump.

Gorod NA Tour 2013

Unique Leader’s Bloodletting North America Tour featuring headliners Gorod and supporting acts Inanimate Existence, Kamikabe, and Vale of Pnath was a showcase of up-and-coming names in forward thinking extreme metal. A Gorod tour in North America is hard to come by, so this tour was a much sought-after trek around these parts. Photographer Maclyn Bean attended his nearest show in Reading, PA at Reverb, with photos from the show available below.

Kvelertak headlining US tour 2013

When Kvelertak rolls through your town, expect an evening of whiskey-soaked party-ready hardcore to come into tow. The spirit of the mosh is personified in these Norwgian metallers, and you can always count on them to put on a good show. On their most recent American run of dates, they brought Cancer Bats and Black Tusk along for support, and you can catch photos from the April 18th in Philadelphia below courtesy of regularly contributing photographer Maclyn Bean.

Meek Is Murder TourMeek is Murder

Meek is Murder are one of the most promising bands sporting the ambiguous whatevercore blend of grind, math, and hardcore. We’re talking one-or-two-minute chaotic tracks that are technical and absolutely crushing. This fledgling band is totally independent (labels, get on this or something! They’re perfect for Relapse or Deathwish, Inc.) and booked a short set of dates around the East Coast this month. Check out our photos from their set at The Pariah in Philadelphia, PA courtesy of local photeggrapher (yes) Maclyn Bean below.

Nails headlining tour Spring 2013

As usual, our regularly contributing photographer Maclyn Bean (the most technical and speedest photographer ever) attended his local show at Broad Street Ministry in Philadelphia and managed to not get his equipment broken! Photos of the show can be viewed below:

Road To Metalfest 2013

After the Burial‘s Road To Metalfest tour was a progcore dream tour! Featuring support from Within The Ruins, The Contortionist (who had Last Chance To Reason‘s Michael Lessard filling in on vocals!), and Glass Cloud, the trek took the bands to and from the annual New England Hardcore & Metal Festival. Needless to say, the Eastern US got rocked — hard. Our regular contributing photographer Maclyn Bean shot the stop  in West Chester on April 22nd, and photos from the show can be viewed below!
