Liz Ramanand, Loudwire Megadeth celebrated the 20th anniversary of their album ‘Countdown to Extinction’ with fans at New York’s Best Buy Theater on Wednesday night (Nov. 14) with some serious support from rock trio Kyng . L.A. band Kyng kicked off the night with a vigorous set as they performed tracks from their debut album ‘Trampled Sun.’ The energy and power the band displays is quite amazing considering that they are a trio. Frontman Eddie Veliz not only shreds it up on guitar but his range of vocals echoed throughout the venue as he performed tracks like ‘Falling Down,’ ‘Trails In Veins,’ ‘Bleed Easy’ and many others. The bass lines of Tony Campos boomed throughout Best Buy Theater while the very talented drummer Pepe Clark’s thunderous drum patterns shook the foundation of the venue throughout the set. After numerous “Megadeth” chants, first started by Veliz onstage, the headliners hit the stage with ‘Trust,’ then had the fans going out of control with ‘Hangar 18’ and ‘Public Enemy No. 1.’ The band then went on to play ‘Countdown to Extinction’ in its entirety. Of course they also played fan favorites ‘Peace Sells’ and ‘Holy Wars…The Punishment Due.’ Dave Mustaine’s famous ginger red hair flopped around as he played some blistering riffs and belted out some Megadeth anthems. Drummer Shawn Drover kept the beat steady behind the skins while guitarist Chris Broderick and bassist David Ellefson worked the very rowdy crowd of passionate fans. It was one hell of a night for Megadeth die-hards, one they soon won’t forget. Check out the remaining dates to see Kyng and Megadeth on the ‘Countdown to Extinction’ tour here .

September 26th, 2012 Metalkult Liz Ramanand, Loudwire Fans turned out in droves for the New York City stop of the ‘Epic Kings & Idols’ tour featuring Katatonia , Devin Townsend Project , Paradise Lost and Stolen Babies. Katatonia are out in support of their ninth full length record ‘Dead End Kings’ and they kicked off their set with ‘Dead Letters’ from the new album. The Swedish metalers also performed new tracks like ‘Buidings,’ ‘Lethean’ and ‘The Racing Heart’ along with older cuts ‘Teargas,’ ‘Walking by a Wire,’ ‘My Twin’ and more. Devin Townsend and the rest of his band had the most energetic set of the night and put on one of the best shows of the year. Townsend has one hell of a voice and he belted out songs such as ‘Supercrush,’ ‘Juular,’ ‘Vampira,’ as well as numerous others. The band also showcased the new album ‘Epicloud’ with performances of ‘Kingdom,’ ‘Lucky Animals’ and ‘Grace.’ Townsend is known for his fun stage presence, and he threw smiles and funny faces to the welcoming and enthusiastic crowd. The Devin Townsend Project is one group of musicians that cannot be missed in concert. Paradise Lost performed a vigorous set that kicked off with ‘Enchantment,’ ‘Erased’ and ‘The Enemy.’ They also played the title track of their latest record ‘Tragic Idol’ and another new tune ‘In This We Dwell,’ as well as older favorites ‘Faith Divides Us’ and ‘Say Just Words.’ Stolen Babies opened up the show and began the night of madness with their carnivalesque, avant garde metal set, which fans really dug. Frontwoman and accordion player Dominique Lenore Persi would later grace the stage again during Devin Townsend’s set. Check out our photos below of the show at New York City’s Irving Plaza.
