Moving his focus to vocals, he was joined by Matt Pauling (guitar), Neil Tiemann (guitar), Joey Bradford (bass) and Captain Carl (drums). Formerly named \"The Black Cloud Collective,\u201d Hell or Highwater\u2019s album <em srcset=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Hell-or-Highwater.jpg 250w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Hell-or-Highwater-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Begin Again was released in August 2011. It\u2019s not often that the first band up plays to a full crowd, but with Hell or Highwater in the house, the Oakdale Theater was full, and the fans were ready to go!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>In This Moment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/In-This-Moment.jpg\" alt=\"In This Moment\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-28955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/In-This-Moment.jpg 250w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/In-This-Moment-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>In This Moment made its way through the black light that engulfed the stage. Chris Howorth (Guitar), Travis Johnson (Bass), Randy Weitzel (Guitar) and Tom Hane (Drums) set the stage for Maria Brink\u2019s (vocals) grand entrance. She was dressed in white, and the light glowed off her white corset and cloak. With fog machines and fans set on high, Maria graced the stage amidst deafening screaming. The band\u2019s entire set was heavy, yet sexy, metal and erotic. Performing songs, such as \u201cRise With Me,\u201d Whore,\u201d \u201cBeast Within\u201d and their newest hit \u201cBlood,\u201d In This Moment rocked!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone Sour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Stone-Sour.jpg\" alt=\"Stone Sour\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-28956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Stone-Sour.jpg 250w, https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Stone-Sour-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>The infamous Corey Taylor (vocals), also of Slipknot, with James Root (guitar), Josh Rand (guitar), Shawn Economaki (bass) and Roy Mayorga (drums) closed the night with the force of a tank plowing through the Oakdale Theater\u2019s dome. The energy was epic, and was was felt to your core. Every song and every note was delivered with emotion and strength.<\/p>\n<p>Touring in support of the band\u2019s newest releases House of <em>Gold and Bones I<\/em> and <em>II<\/em>, they performed favorites, such as \u201cAbsolute Zero,\u201d \u201cMade of Scars,\u201d \u201cReborn,\u201d \u201cBother,\u201d \u201cSay You\u2019ll Haunt Me\u201d and 30\/30-150.\u201d The band killed it. While they didn\u2019t perform any songs from <em>House of Gold<\/em> and <em>Bones II<\/em>, which was released the day of the show, the fans sang along with every hit they belted out. Stone Sour puts on one hell of a show each and every time. If you can catch them on their current tour, do it. <\/p>\n<h3>LIVE! |Stone Sour with In This Moment and Hell or Highwater Photo Gallery<\/h3>\n<p>[nggallery id=131]<\/p>\n<p>[Photos by Jonna Ambur]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">by Jonna Ambur &#8211; Senior Photojournalist &#8212; APRIL 9, OAKDALE THEATER, WALLINGFORD CT &#8212; Hell or Highwater<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8804],"tags":[16,1426,164,3849,334,2015],"class_list":{"0":"post-28893","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-arcconrvw2013","7":"tag-image-gallery","8":"tag-in-this-moment","9":"tag-live","10":"tag-photo","11":"tag-review","12":"tag-stone-sour"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
