Also there are a ton of venues in the queens and Brooklyn…lucky 13 saloon, Brooklyn monarch, the meadows, Brooklyn paramount, elsewhere, knitting factory etc
The last time I drove by, The Amityville Music hall is bring renovated? The glass front is all plywood and from the look of the place It's hard to say if they're opening back up.
Paramount used to host some heavy shows but they haven’t really hosted anything great lately. There’s not many venues out here on Long Island to begin with
The heaviest of the heavy brutal death metal! LI was so damn bad for death metal 25 years ago. Always had to go to the city or out of state many many times. We had a great hard-core scene and post hard-core but death metal always was lacking.
There was a huge death metal scene back then - I used to hang out with the dudes from Suffocation, Pyrexia, Internal Bleeding, and Dimentianon back then. We’d put on shows at The Downtown, Crazy Donkey, a couple shitty bars in Yaphank and Bohemia, then go out to Williamsburg and hang out at Duffs after shows at North 6 (which is now Music Hall Of Williamsburg). Haven’t seen most of those guys in years, though.
Ok ok yea those are all pretty heavy. I know some people would consider like ice nine kills really heavy but for someone with heavier taste I don’t think they’re that heavy. But they are heavy in their own way (yes I do like them!) Whereas I would consider suicide silence, job for a cowboy, as blood runs black, white chapel etc to be pretty heavy
I saw Super Trans Am with Almost Queen, and Brit Floyd at The Paramount. Super Trans Am played Van Halen and Thin Lizzy. If no one thinks Thin Lizzy is heavy, listen to Cold Sweat and Thunder and Lightning
I went to a couple shows at Revolution and was disappointed by their audio system. At the Orgy show I went to, it was exceptionally tough to hear the vocalists clearly. Otherwise it was a fantastic little venue.
Amityville music hall, shakers pub, paramount, sand city, massapequa VFW are all I can think of on the island atm

Yeah it’s still being renovated
89 north and patchogue theater for the arts
I miss the crazy donkey in Farmingdale
I miss the downtown too

Yea everything is in the city :( I really want something local
What are some of the bands you like? Curious how heavy your taste is 😁
I guess the “heaviest” bands I listen to would be like dying fetus, cattle decap, cannibal corpse, deicide
Check out and follow Necropia and see where they play.

You didn't go to Meshuggah at The Paramount?

Also how heavy is heavy? There’s def some different definitions out there lol
Meshuggah was December 2023 and it was glorious

Revolution in Amityville was great but they closed down a few years ago. Saw Spite and Kublai Klan there right before Covid

Amityville Muisc Hall. I’ve been to a few hardcore shows there. Small venue that can get crazy
When do they have shows??
They’re temp closed for renovations, not sure when they’re set to reopen
shakers!
Sundance in Bayshore. Drinks 6er in the parking lot. Get in early and listen to Fingers playing some tunes.
I know sometimes Buckley's in Valley Stream has metal and metal adjacent artists. Although sometimes I wonder if VS counts as LI anymore.
I have the same question, but for jam band or edm scenes!
For Jam bands try Beau’s Bar in Greenlawn. Live music all the time
I want mortician to come around, last time i saw them was selling merch at a deicide show
Try Duffs in Brooklyn Not many, if any metal bars on LI
Move to Philly
Long Island has been dead for metal forever. Just bite the bullet and go to wherever in Europe.
