ANVIL, RAVEN, THE RODS, LORDS OF MERCY Confirmed For Rock N' Roll
Heaven / Old Bridge Metal Militia Reunion Concert And Fundraiser Rock N' Roll Heaven and the Old Bridge Metal Militia are uniting to
bring you their Reunion Concert And Fundraiser to benefit the victims of
Superstorm Sandy. The event will take place on May 11th at Encore Event
Center in Freehold, NJ (106 Schank Rd).
New Jersey birthed heavy metal in the United States in the early
1980’s. The state of New Jersey was an integral part of launching the
careers of these bands, as well as everyone from Bruce Springsteen to
The Misfits to Bon Jovi and more. Now, Rock N' Roll Heaven and the Old
Bridge Metal Militia are bringing these genre-founding metal bands
together for this special event.
Ed Trunk (That Metal Show) will perform Master of Ceremonies duties
with special guest hosts and an all-star jam to be announced. With a now
confirmed line-up of
ANVIL, RAVEN, THE RODS, and
LORDS OF MERCY this
evening is poised for a metal pounders delight.
Doors will open at 7 PM and there will be a drinking section for
those 21+. Tickets will go on sale shortly so stay tuned for purchase
links coming soon. Rock N' Roll Heaven and Old Bridge Metal Militia ask
all attendees to bring canned goods or non-perishable food items for a
food drive which will benefit local area soup kitchens and shelters.
Rock N' Roll Heaven/Megaforce Records/ Crazed Management founders Jon and Marsha Zazula are gearing up for the reunion.
“It’s really great to bring the Militia together again and we look
forward to seeing all of the old faces and new faces, both young and
old,” state the Zazula’s. “We’ve already heard that fans are coming in
from Germany and even up from Florida. They don’t even know the line-up
yet, that’s how cool this is! We can’t wait to bang with the best of
them for this really good cause.”
John Gallagher of Raven adds, “We are proud to be part of this
historic gathering of the clans of our old stomping grounds for such a
worthy cause and are ready to kick major ass!!!”
“The Zazula’s and I made some great albums together,” adds Carl
Canedy of The Rods. “Rock, Garry and I look forward to working with our
good friends once again. No one throws a metal bash like the Z’s.”
Lips of Anvil states, “Doing this gig in NJ is exceptionally special
to Anvil. We are expecting to see many of the original people we met
back in ’82 when we played the Route 18 Flea Market. We have remained
close friends through the metal ages… we look forward to our moments
together again. See you all soon.”
Rockin Ray and Metal Joe, of the Old Bridge Metal Militia adds, “We
would like to take this opportunity to invite music lovers to a reunion
of Rock N' Roll Heaven and the Old Bridge Metal Militia. It should be a
rockin’ night that will benefit the victims of Superstorm Sandy. Please
come and show your support.”
“Lords of Mercy are proud to be a part of such a historical event,”
states Pete Perrina of local metal band Lords of Mercy. “We are ready to
promote this show and kick ass come show time. This show is guaranteed
to be one of the heaviest shows of 2013!”
This is an event to benefit the victims of Superstorm Sandy, which
wreaked havoc on the Jersey Shore and on the lives of its residents.
Superstorm Sandy has left dozens dead and thousands homeless – making it
the worst storm in the region’s history. This is a 100% non-profit
event.
