Heavy Metal Chaos

April 13, 2024, Knoxville, TN showed up for the first Heavy Metal Chaos festival hosted and headlined by the city’s own, Quiescent Mantis. The night was packed with high energy fans and a lineup full of almost all Tennessee based bands. Local band, Once More Again, kicked off the night with a debut performance that showed us that they have plans to stick around. Chunked took the stage to keep the night flowing and kept the crowd moving for Answers In Blood, DieLation, and Paradise Refined. Chattanooga based metalcore, Clockwise, had the building shaking to start off the second half of the night and the room spun through out Aitalla and WarClown until Quiescent Mantis finished up the show. After a full night of stage-diving, crowd surfing, and moshing, the crowd of over 250, including our new friend, The Banana, said goodnight around 2AM. Check out the recap video of the night below!
