Calendar Pick: Jet Engine Dragons Album Release Show

Jet Engline Dragons

Ronin, the forthcoming release by local progressive death and groove metal band Jet Engine Dragons, has been a long time coming. After the band’s last full-length release in 2017, Ashes of Anthemusa, guitarist and vocalist Corey Flowers traveled to Austria, an experience that provided much of the material for Ronin, including themes of culture shock, isolation, rejection and loss of purpose. However, for health and personal reasons, in addition to the pandemic, the band could not finish the album until years later. Ronin’s time has finally come, though, delivering a story for anyone who has ever experienced the cognitive dissonance of making sacrifices to achieve your goals. The band is celebrating the album’s release at this show, presented by Shadebeast, alongside sci-fi progressive metal concept band Scorched Moon and technical death and black metal band Control the Devastator.

WHO: Jet Engine Dragons, Scorched Moon, Control the Devastator
WHEN: Friday, Apr. 5, 8:30 p.m. (doors)
WHERE: Flicker Theatre & Bar
HOW MUCH: $12
