Have yourself a metal little Christmas

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Dec 18, 2019 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Son of a Gun, Degenerates, Falling for Insanity, Kings of the South
Date: Friday, Dec. 20 with doors at 9 p.m.
Venue: Alabama Music Box, 12 S. Conception St., alabamamusicbox.com
Tickets: $5 at the door

Alabama Music Box is bringing the past and present together of one facet of the Azalea City metal scene. Son of a Gun has reemerged from the darkness to spread its own brand of sonic chaos across this unsuspecting burg. Formed in 2005, Son a Gun uses a vehement mix of ominous riffs, thunderous beats and a mix of hellish vocals to establish a zealous local following. After many dormant years, the group is back with a new single called “Sean Murphy.” With sick rhythms and driving riffs, this track is a very impressive step forward in the band’s sound.

A trio of up-and-coming hardcore metal acts will be lending support to Son of a Gun. Kings of the South’s crunchy guitar and double-edged vocals is sure to be a hit with the crowd. Falling for Insanity will showcase new material including the intricately melodic “Cup O’ Joe.” Stepping up from the living room to the Alabama Music Box stage, Degenerates will feature some of the hardcore scene’s newest sounds.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

With the exception of two years spent at Auburn University, Steve Centanni has spent his life in Mobile County while focusing on his two passions: music and the written word. As soon as he was issued his driver’s license, Centanni began to explore the local music scene in the early ‘90s. He filled his weekend with visits classic local venues such as the Four Strong Winds Coffee House, Vincent Van Go-Go’s and Culture Shock, all of which welcomed those who had yet to reach 18. After high school, Centanni traded Mobile for Auburn to complete his B.A. in English with an emphasis on general writing. While at Auburn, he had the honor of studying under the Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, who served as the nation’s Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. After receiving his diploma, Centanni quickly moved back to Mobile and completed the University of South Alabama’s graduate program with a M.Ed. Eventually, he was tapped by the nationally distributed Volume Entertainment Magazine to serve as the magazine’s managing editor/senior writer. His time with Volume allowed him to exercise his love for both music and writing. As Volume began to fade, Lagniappe recruited Centanni as their Music Writer and later their Music Editor, where he has remained for a little over a decade. As far as his involvement in the local music scene, Centanni organized Cess Fest at the Langan Park, which was a mini-festival focused on original local music in a time when original local music was veritably taboo in Downtown Mobile. For a short time, he brought original music to Downtown Mobile as the in-house promoter for the now deceased venue Cell Block. He managed local underground powerhouse Fry Cook, until the members parted ways. Centanni has lent his bass to bands such as Keychain Pistol and The F’n A-Holes, and he toured nationally as a member of Abstract Artimus & the Torture Children. Currently, he provides vocals for the garage blues rock outfit Johnny No. Ultimately, Centanni’s experience in the local music scene as both a participant and an observer has allowed him to witness the ever-changing persona of Mobile’s enigmatic music scene, which continues to leave him with more questions than answers.
