Preserving Underground

Venue: The Underground part is small and intimate. You really have a change to get up close and personal with the performers. Only downside is that it doesn’t really allow for good acoustics/sound. If your up at the stage, the speakers end up being behind you, so the vocals are quite diminished. Parking is free and close to the venue. Until I Wake: what else can I say except they brought their A-game! Not only are they artistically amazing, but they are full of energy and interact with the crowd! And they hung around after at their merch table to meet with the fans. Afterlife: these guys have talent for sure! Great stage presence and high energy! Tyler met with the fans as he was selling merch at their table. And he was more than willing to take pictures with fans! Befell: nice to see a local band open for the above bands! I can’t wait to see where they go from here! All in all: I had a blast! I will be back! And I will absolutely see these guys again!

If you haven't seen Dead on A Sunday, you are missing out on a great live show. Great originals, and some outstanding cover songs all in a Goth/rock style. Ross Ryan and the band putting on an entertaining evening. I highly recommend

Max and Igor deliver!!!!! What could be better than making sweet thrashy death metal with your family? I loved hearing the new material live.

Cool venue and good opening bands... then a speaker burst into flames... and they had to cancel the rest of the show. Still a good time. Im sure VoM would have killed it, but...

Great lineup. Never saw these guys before and was looking forward to seeing them. Can't wait to see them again. Excellent show.

Awesome show!!! Got to meet the band and it was worth every penny. They were so friendly and down to earth... I will definitely be purchasing the VIP package again the next time they come to Pittsburgh!!!

Exodus never disappoints. With Slayer defunct and the rest of the big 5 largely turning commercial, this is the last of the original thrash metal bands sticking to their roots but still sounding fresh.

This show really made me feel nostalgia for the 2000s! A great night packed with gritty, filthy, heavy hardcore! First time at this venue, I look forward to coming back. I haven't been to a pure hardcore show like this in a while and god it felt good to get back to it.

Great lineup of bands. Daniel Dekay and the guys from Exciter put on a great performance! A must see if you’re an old school or new school metalhead.

Excellent lineup with Unearth, Entheos and High Command. The crowd was really into it and it was fun to watch.

Grindcore and death metal in a small room in a basement in a former church. In other words, nirvana. The band is tight and the lead singer is charismatic. Not a band to miss. Looking forward to seeing them again in Pittsburgh.

Great show! The Haunt are amazing and awesome to see live. Love them and hope to see them perform again soon!

I loved Eleine but a longer (opener) set would have been even better. Getting the opportunity to meet the band & take pics & get autographs was awesome. This was my first time at this venue & it was great & I'll be going there again for sure.

Awesome show. Haven’t seen a band with this much heart in a long time. The only bad part was it ended.

Great venue for a metal show. Suffocation & Mutilation Barbecue were terrific. Mutilation Barbecue was a great opener (should have played just before Suffocation IMO) they got the crowd moving with some great death metal from this young band. Contemptment weren't bad just a few too many breakdowns for my taste but other wise they were good. Can't remember the other opener they really weren't for me at all. Then the mighty Suffocation took the stage, an absolute no stop pummeling from the opening riff to to the final blast beat!

The show was amazing. The crowd was as brutal as the music. The unique selection of records available at the venue was amazing to see as well. Preserving underground is truly a unique and valuable venue to the hard-core scene. Bodysnathcher and all of the supporting acts put on a great performance and I am excited to see what they do next!

Absolutely stunning show. I got to be at the very front!! I also got to take pictures with the bands and even my favorite drummer, Joe from mag Park. A night to remember for sure :)

Venue was small and I think a more popular venue would have brought a bigger crowd (I go to 6-8 shows a yr and had never heard of this place) but the band was fantastic!

Sound seemed better then first show I went to there couple of months ago. That being said it still seemed like there was too much of bass and highs and lows of guitars and you couldn’t barely hear the vocals. Needs balanced

It was great all the bands put on an amazing show. Preserving Underground is a awesome place cant wait for the next show...
