... and in live metal this week

Upcoming live reviews for exclaim.ca – keep your eyes peeled this week for reports on these two metal extravaganzas:

• Iced Earth, Symphony X, and Warbringer at the Phoenix in Toronto - Monday, February 6

• Gigantour: featuring Megadeth, Motörhead, Lacuna Coil, Volbeat February 8

I've seen all the Gigantour bands before, but my previous Iced Earth and Symphony X experience is recorded only. I look forward (with hope) to being well-entertained!
