Mayhem on a Monday

If you haven’t been to a hardcore show in the last 10 years, the Warriors’ upcoming appearance at the Boardwalk is just the shakeup you need. Although the follow-up album to the band’s highly lauded War Is Hell won’t be available until May, you might be able to hear some new material at the show. In the meantime, the label has not-so-coincidentally re-issued War Is Hell with two bonus tracks and live footage. The Warriors conquer The Boardwalk, located at 9426 Greenback Road in Orangevale, on Monday at 8:30 p.m. with Blacklisted, Embrace the End and With or Without You. Admission is $10 in advance and $12 the day of the show. The Warriors’ sound, a combination of the best elements of ’90s hardcore and today’s metal, should incite more than a few random acts of violence. Let’s hope The Boardwalk’s security team is ready for this one. Free karate lessons for the first 100 paid.
