Good god, we hope patrons aren't hungover from Sunday Funday shenanigans, 'cuz shit's about to get loud and crazy. Tonight is the fourth OC installment of Battle for Knotfest, where bands compete for a spot at the metal festival happening later this month. The third annual Knotfest features acts like Slipknot (who conceived the event), Danzig and Anthrax—but these eager metalheads could be added to the bill: Speaking the Kings, The World Over, Your Hero is a Villian, and Forever in a Day will each thrash and scream their hearts out in a bid to win. Don't call it a popularity contest; Knotfest's tagline reads, “A happening that will awaken your darkest senses.” But as long as one of those senses is still hearing, you're good to go.
