Said in the growliest voice ever: "METALTOPIA 2014 IS ABOUT TO MELT YOUR FACE OFF." Yes, it's true boys and girls, five of the northwest's most badass metal bands are converging in one place - the magical Track House, where bands play, beers flow and miracles happen. Black metal, doom metal, experimental metal - you name it - is covered in one night of metal mayhem. Please bring $3 for the bands, and please make sure your neck is in prime head banging condition. Especially interesting to my ear is Eusapia, out of Aberdeen. Reminding me of Isis with their upward of 10-minute songs that are dirge-y, atmospheric and trudge on through the psyche. They also move into weird bluesy-stuff and classic black metal as well. You can't see me, but I'm throwing up horns right now.

METALTOPIA 2014, w/Eusapia, Countless The Dead, Un, Hellships, A God or Another, 8:30 p.m., Track House, 511 Seventh Ave., Olympia, $3
