10 other Psycho Las Vegas acts not to miss
Hellacopters: “By the Grace of God,” these reunited Swedish hard rock greats are back in one of Psycho’s best gets this year.
Godflesh: This industrial metal duo doesn’t need no stinking drummer to pound you to dust. A drum machine will suffice.
Danzig: Prepare for a “Dirty Black Summer” when the dark, bluesy Danzig plays its seminal third album, “Danzig III: How the Gods Kill,” in its entirety.
Goblin: It’ll be goose bumps for days when these proggy Italian soundtrack standouts play cuts from the “Suspiria” score and more.
Rocket from the Crypt: RFTC’S “Scream Dracula Scream!” was one of the most crucial rock records of the ’90s. That album alone would be enough to make the horn-fired San Diegoans a must-see — but they’ve got plenty more.
Coven: “Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls,” the female-fronted Coven contended on the group’s 1969 debut. Decades later, it remains an occult rock touchstone.
American Nightmare: These reactivated, metallic hardcore standard-bearers hit Psycho in support of their new self-titled record, their first in 15 years.
Survive: If you dig the ’80s-leaning theme music for “Stranger Things,” you’ll dig this synthwave quartet: They made it.
Church of Misery: These serial killer-obsessed doom metallers make the rare trip to America from their native Japan.
Tinariwen: Because it’s not every day one gets to see some Grammy-winning Tuareg musicians from northern Africa perform Tishoumaren music.
