What we’re about
A society consists of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger environment- Welcome to the Atlanta Rock & Metal Society!
This meetup group is a judgement free zone, designed for all metro Atlanta fans of rock and metal music to come together and enjoy all things rock! What’s not to love about going to see great live shows with some good friends, right? We plan events that take us to a variety of the greatest live venues that Atlanta has to offer, as well as other gatherings that will allow us to chill and socialize as a group.
In the spirit of building a true Society we have a few basic rules:
• We require that all members attend at least one event in each calendar year, this is a MeetUp group after all!
• In the event that you amass 3 no-shows, we will give you the boot! It's inconsiderate and downright rude to stand up you fellow Society Members!
• We also require each user include a photo in their profile so that we may be able to identify you when you come to events.
So, if you are a fan of Rock/Hard Rock/Metal and, can abide by these rules ...Come rock out with us!

Playlist: https://tinyurl.com/ARMS-Sumac24Sumac is an experimental metal band formed in 2014 by Aaron Turner (of Isis and Old Man Gloom), Nick Yacyshyn (of Baptists), and bassist Brian Cook (of Russian Circles and Botch). Known for their heavy, sludge-influenced sound, they explore long, immersive compositions that mix elements of post-metal, doom, and noise rock. Their music often features complex rhythms, dense atmospheres, and powerful, unrelenting riffs, drawing on both intensity and experimentation. Sumac's work is characterized by an emphasis on improvisation and dynamic range, pushing the boundaries of heavy music.
Kowloon Walled City is a sludge metal band from San Francisco, known for their raw, minimalist sound blending doom, post-hardcore, and noise rock. Their music features heavy, downtuned guitars, sparse arrangements, and an atmospheric, brooding intensity.
Trigger Object is the experimental electronic project of Portland-based artist Veronica "Vern" Avola. Known for their noise-driven, improvisational style, Avola's work fuses heavy electronics with eerie, distorted atmospheres. Their music often explores unconventional, raw soundscapes, with releases on labels like Sige and EMS Records
