The heavy, four-piece Pariah's Revolt from Olympia (Kevin Saint, Josh "Monster" Williams, Chad "The Ghost" Daniels, and Shane "Warzone" Hanson) have all the badassness of ear-splitting chords, metal riffs and black clothing that you'd expect from the genre.

And they're taking their community involvement to the next level with a fundraiser to help the Thurston County Food Bank Saturday, April 19 at Louie G's in Fife.

Five bands and many local sponsors, including Ted Brown Music, Olympic Cards and Comics and The Toy Box Collectables, are supporting the event. Pariah's Revolt, Sanction VIII, Amadon, Mr. Von and The Rikk Beatty Band will rock the all-ages venue beginning at 6 p.m. From Sanction VIII's skilled Slayer-esque style to The Rikk Beatty Band's guitar-driven jams and metal/funk vibe, there will be a variety of music on the table.
