Touted as New York City’s “Most Experimental New Music Event”, the Jazz from Hell Festival will take over LePoisson Rouge in New York in just under three weeks from now. Headlining the festival are metal trio Imperial Triumphant and Goldstar Metropole Orchestra.
The festival looks to combine these two different genres and create a metal-fusion and big band sound with the two groups. The bands will look to find harmony between the “technical metal” and “jazz complexity” to create something that hasn’t been done before.
The festival heads to Le Poisson Rouge as it’s been home to many other festivals such as this that look to pioneer a new genre. Tickets can be purchased online before the show for $40, and on the day of the show for $50. The festival is one night only, taking place on Dec. 12. All are welcome to the show, organizers for the event say ,“For audiences drawn to bold and unconventional music, JAZZ From HELL promises a standout event in the winter concert season.”
Whether or not the festival will return next year is unknown at the moment and will likely depend on how it’s received in a few weeks. However, one thing that can be said now is that this will be a once in a lifetime unique experience for all who are able to attend. It will be an exciting night to say the least, and as always, it’s still metal, so expect it to be loud and expect the crowd to be into it early and often.
