Goatwhore, 1349, Inquisition & Black Crown Initiate playing Saint Vitus on Easter (4/20) after NYC Metal Alliance date

Goatwhore at Bowery Ballroom (more by Fred Pessaro)

The ongoing Metal Alliance tour — which features Behemoth, Goatwhore, 1349, Inquisition, & Black Crown Initiate — is one of the bigger package metal roadshows of the year. It’s hitting NYC on 4/19 at Irving Plaza for a sold-out stop, but if you failed to acquire tickets, you may be in luck anyway. The Metal Alliance tour proper has the day after the 4/19 show off, and almost the entire lineup (everyone except for Behemoth) will play at Saint Vitus Bar the following night, which happens to be both Easter and, well, 4/20. It should be a rager, though — Inquisition released one of 2013’s best albums, Goatwhore are a dominating live act, & 1349 have reportedly pulled themselves together after releasing two disastrous albums in a row during the late ’00s.

Buy your ticket for the inverted blasphemic potsmoke Jesus death ceremony — chances of this one selling out are pretty high.

Remaining Metal Alliance dates are listed, along with a stream of last year’s Inquisition album, below.
