This one's not for the lily livered. Four heavy metal bands from the city: Inner Sanctum, Bevar Sea, Culminant and Pillbox 666 are calling out to all metal heads to show their face at the Mighty Riff heavy metal festival this weekend. While Inner Sanctum, who recently opened for the Cradle of Filth show in town are known for their extreme metal tripping and Culminant is a death and thrash metal, Bevar Sea's sound can be best described as heavy metal meets rock n roll and Pillbox 666, also a heavy metal band will bring in some gut wrenching sound and high octane performance to this festival. So get ready to growl along, thrash it out and head for the mosh pit.
