a guide to Metal @ SXSW 2010
words by Ilya Blokh and BBG
Trash Talk at BV SXSW 2009 (more by Jacob Blickenstaff)
Soooooooo much to do! With lineups changing by the second, its hard to get a handle on what is really going on down in ATX. As such, we completed our SxSW guide to metal but see it as an open book: if you see a show that you think should be added, please feel free to comment away or tweet at me (BBG) or at our dedicated sxsw twitter. Until then, these are the BrooklynVegan picks for heavy music at SxSW!

Torche at Highline Ballroom (more by Justina Villanueva)
Wednesday, March 17th
BBG: I’ll avoid discussing my pick for the day party (*coughEmo’scough*) but at night Relapse has a pretty indestructible lineup, as does both Action PR as well as Prosthetic (both happening at Mohawk). In all fairness, I will probably move between the three venues, making sure to catch as much as I can.
Ilya Blokh: The day show is an easy choice, but the evening offers two equally weighed contenders with Action PR! and Relapse. This one’s a close call, but Action PR! edges out due to the Prosthetic Records Showcase happening in the same venue (and High on Fire as the headliner).

Zoroaster at The Studio @ Webster (more by Justina Villanueva)
Thursday, March 18th
BBG: I’ll spare you all my pick for the day show (we added Trash Talk! It’s 50 cap!), but for the night I’ll probably spend my time at Chaos In Tejas Presents and possible scoot on over to catch Goatwhore at Headhunters.
Ilya Blokh: The afternoon is packed end-to-end with shows. Start off with the BV day party, head to the Chronic Youth showcase next and round off the night with Tee Pee Records.

Friday, March 19th
BBG: Day party has a clear cut winner in the Thrasher/Converse show at Scoot Inn, and night time is a sinch, the unmissable Profound Lore/20 Buck Spin show. That lineup is STACKED.
Ilya Blokh: Though shows abound during the day, only the Thrasher/Converse Deathmatch shows much promise (although I’d sneak off to see Goatwhore at Emo’s, then come back for Voivod). Then head off to the epic Profound Lore/20 Buck Spin line-up in the evening.
