In Flames- January 13th- Royal Oak Theater- Ok, “Sounds from a Playground Fading” might not have been the greatest album ever, but this is still a chance to catch the Swedish melodic death metal’s fury when they pack Royal Oak for the first big metal show of the year. And you can’t really complain about the openers either- with Trivium, Veil of Maya and Kyng opening up. This has to be one of the better bills to hit Detroit in a while. (Tickets are $20, available at tickets.com).
Machine Head (pictured)- January 20th- Royal Oak Theater- With “Unto the Locust” exceeded industry expectations so far, it’s safe to say that the longtime Bay Area metal titans have hit a stride later in their career. This is sure to be another crazy night of metal inside Royal Oak as Suicide Silence opens up. Also, check out Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson’s son's band, Rise to Remain, open up the show. (Tickets are $20, available at tickets.com).
Attack Attack- January 27th- Omni (Toledo)- This is a home state show for the band who’s next album, “This Means War” on January 17th. Opening are Sleeping with Sirens and the Ghost Inside. Should be a good night for the metal young’ins in Toledo. (Tickets are $15, available at ticketmaster.com).
Children of Bodom- January 31st- Harpo’s- We were beginning to think the guys from Finland didn’t want to come to Harpos this time around in support of their “Relentless, Reckless Forever” album out earlier this year. Make sure to check out Revocation opening up the show, which may be a battle of the riffs between Revocation’s Dave Davidson and Bodom’s Alexi Lahlo. Let the riff blazing begin! (Tickets are $20, available at ticketmaster.com).
