Wednesday night 20 Monroe Live hosted the bands Hellyeah, Avatar and Kyng. The weather couldn’t be more pleasant to wait in line to get in. The temperature was about 89 degrees out.
It was a relaxed atmosphere waiting in line and checking through security to get in. The first band in the show was Kyng which we covered in 2012 at the Orbit Room. We both remember how great of a show they did and knew they would wake the crowd up and get them going.
Editor’s favorite songs from each album:
“Trampled Sun” album there were a few favorites that I suggest people take a listen to titled “I Don’t Believe”, “Falling Down”, and “Pushing Pulling”. The second album titled “Burn The Serum”, we had a few favorites titled “Electric Halo”, “Burn The Serum”, and “Lost One”. The newest album titled “Breathe In The Water” had many favorites titled “Pristine Warning”, “Breathe In The Water”, “Follow Blindly”, and “Closer To The End”.
The genres that the band is most known for is heavy metal and stoner metal. The band has it’s own identity that has a flavor of west coast metal.
Kyng setlist:
- Pristine Warning
- Self Medicated Man
- Breathe In The Water

For all the songs that Hellyeah created I still feel that the song “Moth” is a masterpiece. The song is such a visual gripping song that can’t be forgotten. Each band could have been the headline for the show at 20 Monroe Live.
All the bands put on a great live experience that made you forget about everyday worries and just have a great time. To draw the crowd into the experience is the true test of any artist out in the world of the arts and entertainment. I thank all three bands for bringing the metal day in, day out, and making a great live experience.
