It's never to early too plan out your metal itinerary for the week. If you're not getting your dose of Scandinavian Death Metal at Footsies' Metal Mondays, then save up your headbanging energy for the double team of sludgecore / stoner metal guitar gymnastics of Torche and Big Business Wednesday at the Knitting Factory. There's nothing more metal than going to a strip mall for some face-searing solos and bowel-quaking blastbeats.

The show is free if you RSVP but make sure to pack a flask and get there early, because the line can be a little gnarly.
