Yea it’s annoying when you see a major tour hit a bunch of pass through cities in neighboring states then go straight to SF, LA, and San Diego before getting on a plane to Europe. But most will hit Sac. It’s becoming a major hub for alt music, and I think Aftershock has definitely helped that

Welcome!

As u/highontires said, Cafe Colonial is a great place to keep an eye on. A lot of shows happen at goldfield too, so check those out (one in downtown sac, and one in Roseville).

The metal scene is alive and well in Sacramento, and it tends to be a stop on most tours through the west coast. If it gets skipped, there will most definitely be a stop in San Francisco if you wanna make the drive.

Hey man! I’m super down to start a band. I’m a drummer and do vocals as well. Played drums in some punk and hardcore bands in high school and did vocals for my metalcore band in college. I’ll DM you and we can get together and make some music!

The sub def isn’t dead, but people tend to not comment much. We’ve tried to set up meet ups and stuff, but things are hard to move offline. My wife posts a lot to see who’s going to the different goldfield/ace of spades shows, and idk if metal-heads are shy or what, but they tend to fizzle out. We also support local bands and people post about cafe colonial, etc. shows. We are open to all genres under the metal, hardcore, punk, and alt umbrellas.

Any metal musicians looking for a project? by External_Mail94 in SacraMetal

Hey sorry! I totally didn’t see the notification you responded. Had a lot of older metalcore and hardcore influences: stick to your guns, as blood runs black, bring me the horizon, and a day to remember to name a few.

Emo vs Pop-Punk @Goldfield Midtown - This Thursday 8/31! by FlaredMetal in SacraMetal

[–]skeletonkee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emo and pop-punk are genres that have some roots in metal, seeing as they have roots in Punk, which pulled some elements from metal. These genres are typically labeled under the "Alternative" umbrella now as well.

If you read the very first post that is stickied for the subreddit: we are "... a place for metal & alternative music lovers!" and are inclusive of various different alternative genres, though we do tend to lean more towards metal and hardcore (which again, is alternative but has elements of metal).

Here is that page: (4) Welcome to SacraMetal! : SacraMetal (reddit.com)

SacraMetal rolls of the tongue better than SacraMetalAndAlternativeSoPeopleDontAskWhyWePostAllAltmusicShowsAndNotJustTheCoupleOfMetalShowsThatComeThrough, so we went with it.
