For 20 years, Lafayette Metal has been alive and kickin' it in the form of the Hard n' Heavy Showcase down in Market Square! A long standing tradition carried on from Roger Rockit to the Overlord of Doom, from Jerilee's to the North End Pub, from generation to the next! We kick off 2026 by celebrating the best of Lafayette Metal for the Hard n' Heavy 20th Anniversary!
THE BANDS :
We'd Be - longtime Hard n' Heavy alumni, the sonic wizards are making a rare appearance for a night of rum gunnin' good times
The Mound Builders - Lafayette's legendary sludgers are bringing a set of deep cuts, bringing an all star Hard n' Heavy lineup!
Salem's Childe - filled to the brim with HnH alumni, these purveyors of heaviness make an epic return to Lafayette after too many moons for a night of headbanging, moshing, and camaraderie
Graveripper - a true Lich of the Lafayette Metal Scene, Corey Parks leads this blackened thrash caravan, reminiscent of it's former Narrow House glory
