Merry metal Christmas

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Dec 20, 2017 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Metal Christmas Eve-Eve
Date: Saturday, Dec. 23, 8 p.m.
Venue: The Blind Mule, 57 N. Claiborne St., www.theblindmule.net
Tickets: $5 (21+)/$10 (18+), available at the door

Before leaving the cookies and milk out for Santa, DeltaSwamp Productions invites the public to come celebrate the night before Christmas Eve with a metallic collection of Azalea City bands.

D.R.E.A.D. will be dealing out an onslaught of Southern-fried metal. One of the most prolific and long-running metal bands in the local scene, D.R.E.A.D. will be performing songs from its latest effort, “Test of Time.” The band’s artistic growth can be witnessed in the album’s title track as well as “Aim to Please” and “Bring the Rain.” This trio of songs thrive through arrangements that are both musically and emotionally versatile.

Curse the Flesh will provide a black Christmas filled with its trademark metal fury. Considering the band’s 2016 release “Black Majesty,” Curse the Flesh will pummel the crowd with rapid-fire metal blasts and epic black metal grandeur. This lineup will also feature newcomers to the local metal scene, Beyond My Control.

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.
