The newly minted Connecticut Metal Coalition has released its first compilation, aptly titled Connecticut Metal Coalition Volume One. Organizer Ryan Early told Alternative Control, “The CMC is intended to be an ever-evolving group of both established and up-and-coming local musicians with the common goal of promoting and advancing our scene as a whole entity. […] The compilation is mostly just a vehicle that we can use the promote the scene to newcomers. It’s certainly not an unheard-of idea, but the goal was to put together an eclectic collection of songs from CT indie bands across all genres of metal.”

January 10, 2014 Cincinnati, Ohio – The Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is pleased to welcome back to Ohio for their performance during this year’s Warriors Of Metal Fest VII at O’Sheckys LIVE in Columbus, Ohio, the Meriden, Connecticut Thrash Metal band SHALLOW GROUND who melted faces, kicked asses and took names during last year’s Pre-Fest Showcase of Warriors of Metal Fest VI Open Air.
As Metal CD Ratings’ staff reviewer, Kit Ekman put it in his live review of last year’s event: “The Shallow Ground guys stuck around the festival all weekend long and were friendly and cool as hell. They supported other bands by buying their merch, shared their fruit salad with my wife, and could be seen up near the front of the stage rocking out to many other acts over the weekend. Good on ya, Shallow Ground.”
And Fest organizer, Datis Alaee adds, “It is indeed a joy to host such a band that genuinely supports their scene and their fellow underground Metal acts alike!
Band co-founder, guitarist and vocalist, Keith Letourneau states: “We are honored to come back out to Ohio , and Warriors of Metal again this year. We had such a great time last year that the minute we left the Fest grounds for our journey home we already started making plans for our return in 2014 whether we were gonna play or not! Well it’s next year and with this invitation I give my word to you all that Shallow Ground will bring the east coast old school Thrash that we are known for to everyone there in an unprecedented way!!! Warriors of Metal Fest VII is going to blow you away so come on out, support the US underground Metal scene and enjoy all the bands. Oh, and make sure you don’t miss the Pre-Fest Showcase on Thursday because there will be killer bands that night as well!!!! Have a safe start to the year everyone and see we’ll see you at Warriors of Metal Fest VII at the end of June!”
