Metal shows in Chicago

If your week’s been a haze of existential dread and overpriced cold brew, here’s the antidote. This Thursday, doom metal titans Monolord are descending on our city with a sonic assault that promises to liquefy your bones and reconstruct them with riff-laden majesty. And just when you think you’ve emerged from the fog, Acid King steps in to recalibrate your psyche with their stoner rock alchemy, weaving a tapestry of crushing grooves and hypnotic rhythms. But wait, there’s more—Mizmor, the enigma of avant-garde blackened doom, will be there to paint your soul with shades of introspection and raw emotion. This isn’t just a gig; it’s an odyssey through the outer limits of sound. Doors at 7, show at 8—don’t be the one who hears about it later. Trust me, your future self will thank you. All ages, so bring your little brother who's convinced himself he's the next Thurston Moore; let him learn at the altar of distortion.

Hey there, sound explorers and riff junkies—brace yourselves, because REZN is about to blow your minds wide open with their Cycles in the Infinite Dream Tour. This isn't just another night out; it's a sonic pilgrimage into the raw, uncharted territories of your psyche. Fresh off their latest masterpiece, this Chicago foursome is fusing monolithic riffs with ethereal beauty in a way that's less concert, more cosmic experience. Joining them are the moody maestros of Cloakroom and the ever-entrancing DIM, rounding out a lineup that's poised to warp your reality and bend your brainwaves. Forget the usual mosh pit pandemonium—this is all about tuning in, zoning out, and getting lost in a dreamscape that feels both deeply familiar and thrillingly alien. Get your tickets, because the only thing worse than waking up from this dream is missing out entirely.
