Misson Statement

To quote Tom Warrior, "Music manages to touch me so profoundly that it is sometimes nearly unbearable."  Music in general has been the prime motivator in my life and continues to move me in ways that are hard to convey with mere words.

At the forefront of my love for music will always be metal.  The culture behind metal to the crushing feel of a live concert is unparalleled, which are some of the reasons why I’m writing this blog.

Smoldering Forge will feature concert overviews from both metal and punk shows primarily in the Pittsburgh area, but will also highlight shows in places where my travels take me.  Other happenings and events related to metal and punk will be shown here as well.

Enjoy.
