The work week kicks off with two great shows in the area. In Minneapolis, Mill City Nights has a co-headlining show with Sevendust and the reformed Coal Chamber. Supporting the bill is Italy's Lacuna Coil and Candlelight Red. This is an 18+ show that starts at 7:30; tickets are $32 at the door. Check out the recent posts for the review of the latest Sevendust album Black Out The Sun (9/10), audio of Sevendust on July 19, 1997, and From The Vault features of both Sevendust and Coal Chamber with lots of pictures and old concert ads from 1997-2000.

The intensity increases at Station 4 in St. Paul tonight with death metal legends Suffocation performing with support from Exhumed, Jungle Rot, Rings Of Saturn and Adimiron. This is a 16+ show with an early 6:00 start, and it's $25 at the door. Come back later for a From The Vault feature on Exhumed! I haven't had a chance to write a review, but Suffocation has a great new album out on Nuclear Blast, Pinnacle Of Bedlam.
