Blades of Steel
Bryce Chapman
The band Aether Realm.
Aether Realm
The second of two heavy metal festivals in Madison this month will feature a blitzkrieg of bands — more than 20 over three days — representing everything from traditional heavy metal (Night Demon and Cirith Ungol, both from California), power metal (Connecticut’s Liege Lord) and symphonic metal (Madison’s Queen of Dreams) to death/folk metal (North Carolina’s Aether Realm) and thrash metal (Brazil’s all-female Nervosa). Veteran Canadian hard rockers Killer Dwarfs even are on the bill. A lineup as diverse and heavy as this is rare in the capital city, and while the list of scheduled bands is subject to change, Blades of Steel still shines. Music at 6 p.m. on Aug. 29 and 3 p.m., Aug. 30-31.
