I confess, my personal taste doesn't bring me to this corner of the rock genre as I don't often knowingly or purposely select this heavy of gear in my mental meanderings. To say that I was impressed and smitten is an understatement as these artists brought more than fun, more than heart, more than passion, and all of their souls into their performances. Given the themes of several of these ensembles, maybe a certain dark prince gave them that little extra boost to serenade the souls of a few of us unsuspecting and vulnerable music lovers over to the dark side. - [Rocklahoma friends and family come together to support one of their own.](https://survivingrocklahoma.com/blog/rocklahoma-friends-and-family-come-together-to-support-one-of-their-own/) - Saturday, Sept. 19th, a miniature reunion of sorts took place at the Shrine in Tulsa.
