Sick Puppies >> and Lacuna Coil came to The Masquerade in Atlanta this weekend for a show with Eyes Set To Kill and Cilver also on the bill. The aforementioned foursome of metal are the featured artists on this year's Hottest Chicks In Hard Rock Tour that just kicked off its eastern leg last week.

Sick Puppies >> The Masquerade

Cilver opened the show with an entertaining sound reminiscent of the old Smashing Pumpkins which the crowd responded uproariously to. The leading lady belted out emotionally charged lyrics setting up for a full concentrated vocal lead that got the rest of the band fully energized.

Next up on the Heaven stage at The Masquerade was Eyes Set to Kill, a band from Tempe, AZ created by the Rodriguez sisters, Alexia and Anissa. ESTK have a post-hardcore sound that really amped the crowd. Both Eyes Set to Kill and Cilver are immensely talented with the potential to have stellar careers.

Lacuna Coil followed as the co-headliner and The Masquerade went wild. The Italian rockers from Milan certainly know how to command the stage. Lovely dual vocals over hard hard metal is Lacuna Coil's calling card. It's like seeing a small theater musical when watching this band perform. An operatic style from the lady, Cristina Scabbia, and the gentleman, Andrea Ferro, offers a complementary vocal whilst the others back it up with loud drums, heavy guitar and driving bass.

The outstanding performance led to the floor literally shaking with a surprise new song from the long-awaited new album Broken Crown Halo which is set to release this April.  The audience adored the new single and took the enthusiasm level up a few notches throughout the Masquerade, a perfect performance to get the crowd going before Sick Puppies went on.

The headlining Sick Puppies took stage with a wild uproar afoot. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for all night. They always have a way of bringing high energy to every show and this one was no different. The Aussie band appears to have a lot of fun every time they perform, interacting with everyone in proximity. An encore was demanded by those in attendance Sick Puppies delivered the Tri-polar hit 'You're Going Down' for an astounding end to a truly astounding show.

This is the way hard rock should be performed. It was only the second night of The Hottest Chicks In Hard Rock Tour across the US so be sure check them out when they hit your city. You will not be disappointed.
