More Info
...for four years Pathfinder Promotions has been supporting and producing quality metal shows on a local and regional level in metro Atlanta. It was only a matter of time before the team brought together this much talent in one place - one night only. For the price, no where else this year will you find 7 traditional metal bands with such a wide range of melodic, progressive, power, and thrash metal sound. NO WHERE.

Please join u...s on Nov 6th for the second annual Pathfinder Metalfest as we proudly present the only 2010 concert performed in the WORLD by the enigmatic -

CRIMSON GLORY!!! ... considered by many to be pioneers of progpower metal, the musicians of Crimson Glory have reunited after several years on hiatus (and one special Tribute to Midnight show at ProgPower USA X). Debuting their new lead singer - Todd La Torre - at Pathfinder MetalFest 2010, the elegant beast that is Crimson Glory once again raises high its noble head... are you ready?

also featuring...

ARTIZAN ... an easy and entertaining listen for all melodic metal fans, yet with enough twists to keep prog fans happy. well-crafted compositions which blend melodic hooks with developed progressive arrangements; vocals may be the highlight here, soaring with a strength uncommon in most modern metal vocals. Equally impressive is the vigorous fret work which -at times- mimics old school classic metal, yet with renewed energy and passion.

ICARUS WITCH ... "Bow to no trends," is the motto which Icarus Witch have stood fast by since materializing in 2004. Embraced by the metal press for their fortitude in sticking to their old school guns, their rock/metal hybrid flexibility has made them the support band of choice for everyone from Yngwie Malmsteen to 3 Inches of Blood to most recently Y&T. http://www.icaruswitch.com/

THEOCRACY ... a Christian metal band from Athens, Ga. whose melodic style has more in common with their European contemporaries than with most of their U.S. counterparts. Characterized by huge choruses, epic arrangements and progressive elements, Theocracy’s music is both immediate and deep, managing to be instantly catchy and memorable, yet revealing new levels of intricacy and depth with each subsequent listen.

WIDOW ... formed in the winter of 2000 to express their vision of metal, this group is influenced by many of their own experiences, plus groups such as King Diamond, Crimson Glory, Warlord, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Widow explores the neo-classical side of heavy metal combined with their death metal roots to create an energetic stage show unparalleled by many in their league.

VOID OF REASON ... back by popular demand, Void of Reason (VOR) was a stand out local act at the inaugural Pathfinder MetalFest in Oct 2009. Their songs are fresh and exciting, full of energy and life. 2010 brings new energy to the band with the addition of a second guitarist and even more dynamic songwriting.

MERZAH ... kicking off the PMF2010, this Carolina band has been compared to everyone from Between the Buried & Me to Dream Theater to Devin Townsend with their 'Aggressive Progressive' style of metal. When putting together this lineup, promoter Hoyt Parris had one band in mind to start things off - and that was MERZAH! Do not miss their set. It will leave you breathless!

VENUE INFO:

The Local Concert Venue
inside Sidelines Sports Grille
1440 Roswell Road
Marietta, GA 30062
http://www.myspace.com/thelocalconcertvenue
http://www.myspace.com/mariettasidelines

this clean, air conditioned, and well-maintained club-sized venue has become the number one hotspot outside the perimeter of metro Atlanta for rock and metal shows over the past three years. Boasting sold-out shows with acts ranging from Stuck Mojo to Mothers Finest to Kings X, the stage, sound, and lights are not equaled in the area.
The intimate 350-capacity room makes for an amazing 'party' atmosphere with the no-smoking ordinance and an 18+ rule in effect. The excellent food and drink selection from the attached Sidelines Sports Grille is reasonably priced and available until well after midnight. The Sports Grille is also smoker friendly, so no standing out in the weather for those who smoke.
The restaurant also has video/bar games, arcade games, several billiard tables, and dozens of televisions pointed to most every sports channel you can imagine. So there is plenty to do before & after the show and in between sets.

"This venue was made for lovers of music and bands. It was designed by music lovers and has the best of everything!!"

Pathfinder Promotions has set up a special rate for the MetalFest attendees and bands at the nearby Hampton Inn Marietta. This hotel is literally 1.5 miles from the venue. It is not a safe walking distance but it is a very short & cheap cab ride. And with somewhat limited parking at the venue, the cab ride to and from the hotel is worth the money.

When making reservations, call the hotel and be sure to speak to sales manager Debbie Appling (or an assistant) and ask for the Pathfinder Rate which is good for Nov 5th and 6th @ $59 per night for doubles, saving you between $30-$50 per night. The Hampton Inn is clean, safe, and secure. The hotel serves an excellent free breakfast and has several restaurants within a quick walking distance (Applebees, Hardees, and Indian Cuisine).

Google Map the hotel address and you'll see how easy it is to access from I-75. Then type in the venue address and plot your course from the hotel to the venue.
