Cealed Kasket is hitting the High Noon Saloon this Thursday night with their unique brand of over-the-top death-rock. It’s difficult to pin down their sound to a distinct genre, but it’s definitely got that NWOBHM-vibe that’s like a cross between Cronos-era Venom and the the always ballsy Motörhead. It’s a match made in heaven for fans of older metal. Kasket’s live show pulls the audience in with sword fights, drinking contests, and enough medieval mayhem to put your average power metal band to shame.

Joining them will be Knuckel Drager, who describe themselves as “the world’s heaviest surf band.” Opening is Nirvana tribute band Frances Bean, which is comprised of members from Madison locals Awesome Car Funmaker. The show’s 21+ and starts at 9PM at the High Noon Saloon.
