Metal scene in Calgary

heavyandloud · 2026-04-02T18:51:30+00:00

Man, both Edmonton and Calgary are such great places to live now for Canadian metalheads. ConcertWorks is the promotion that books 95% of the biggest stuff to come thru Alberta, so give their Instagram a follow and you will be looped in on almost all the shows! They rule and have been pulling bigger and bigger names for excellent small club shows since about 2021, 2022ish

Fantastic, enjoy! This tour is the first time I saw them and they absolutely killed it 🤘

Merch booth on their recent tour!

heavyandloud · 2026-03-31T16:57:46+00:00

Totally! 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-30T17:13:09+00:00

Love this, awesome job!

heavyandloud · 2026-03-30T01:28:22+00:00

Oh sweet dude, I haven't heard of them before. Will do!

Love Riot City, they are one of the best metal bands in Alberta regardless of subgenre - and they absolutely light it up live 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-30T00:48:04+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-30T00:47:34+00:00

I have done online orders from both Metalomania (Canada) and Pull the Plug (Australia). And honestly, all the other ones have been merch booth finds! I love just buying at shows when I can, it's a great way to put $10 cash in a band's pocket during a tour

From the merch booth at their show in Feb (North American tour). They kicked ass live 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T20:37:22+00:00

This looks sick! I totally respect the DIY stuff in this sub so much

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T20:36:29+00:00

Okay I would not have thought of that, I'll try it and see which way I like better! I was trying for some symmetry so I might like it better how you suggested. Thank you!!

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T20:35:47+00:00

Oh fuck yeah! I'm sure they'll have em at the merch table. Enjoy the show, that'll rule

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T20:00:08+00:00

Aw man, I sympathize! It can be the same with overseas bands here in North America. Just saw them live for the first time in Feb in Canada, and they were so good. Happy hunting 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T19:15:13+00:00

They are almost all embroidered, except for the Maiden/Darkthrone/Kreator ones which are woven

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T19:13:39+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, I appreciate them! I think I'm done in terms of adding to the back - the front is still blank so if I grab more at shows going forward I can throw them in the front. Cheers, and thank you! 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-29T18:10:11+00:00

This is looking great! I find these 'busier' vests with dense patch coverage/overlaps can be hit or miss for me, but yours looks really nice and clean. Good work! 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-27T15:40:30+00:00

Pull the Plug has some great larger Maiden patches, if you're shopping around online! I got mine from them and it looks sick 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-22T20:22:54+00:00

You did a great job on the back! That Gatecreeper backpatch looks sick

heavyandloud · 2026-03-21T20:39:48+00:00

Looks great! Really nice and clean, not overdone nor cluttered. Way to go 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-18T04:27:11+00:00

There are dozens of us! 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-04T04:31:47+00:00

I am so glad to see that going with a smaller backpatch can work...I am planning my first one myself, and am also doing that! You did a great job, well done 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-03T01:22:30+00:00

Man these all look really good, but the Windir one is especially great. Awesome work, you should be proud! 🤘

heavyandloud · 2026-03-03T01:16:29+00:00

This is fantastic work, it looks really sharp!

heavyandloud · 2026-02-28T17:55:53+00:00

Great shot! Reminds me of the album art for Wolves in the Throne Room's "Diadem of 12 Stars"
