The pure rock power of mindshapefist
For such an active music scene, Asheville has a relative dearth of metal acts. Chalk it up to our city’s folk-friendly, jam-loving, hipster-empowering counterculture, but if you really want to rock out, you’ve got limited options. In fact, the downtown set’s general reluctance to embrace the headbanging vibe has actually caused them to miss out on local acts like Sanctity and The Monsters of Japan, who are typically embraced by out-of-town crowds.
