Judas Priest, Saxon, Black Star Riders
There’s no arguing that both Iron Maiden and Judas Priest played a huge part in forging the path for heavy metal and every sub-genre that’s branched from it. But Maiden’s been writing the same record over and over again since 1986’s Somewhere in Time, while Priest’s discography is full of epic peaks, dismal valleys, and everything in between. It’s an adventure, not a boardwalk bike ride. For a band nearing its 50th year of activity, the power and resolution of Judas Priest’s brand-new record Firepower is completely unexpected—they should be operating in paint-by-numbers riffs and stale clichĂ©s at this point in their career. Instead, the band returns to the catchy swagger, pummeling punishment, and confidence of their heyday. ARIS HUNTER WALES

Leni Zumas
Leni Zumas writes wonderful, dark fiction, and her latest, Red Clocks, imagines a Mike Pence-approved future where abortion is illegal and women have fewer civil liberties than embryos (doesn’t sound “imagined” at all, actually). It’s somehow also supposed to be funny and good. How will Zumas pull off such a delicate balance? I have no idea, but I can’t wait to find out. MEGAN BURBANK

Cam
You can’t knock Cam’s hustle. It was only about five months ago that this California-born country artist was here to play the Hawthorne Theatre. Though performing at the smaller Doug Fir Lounge might seem like a step backward for her, this feels more like a little treat for fans to catch her in a more intimate setting than, say, the arenas where she’s been opening for George Strait and Harry Styles. The show also serves as an appetite-whetting for anyone who has been quietly hungering for Cam’s new album. The only taste fans have received as of late has been “Diane,” the spirited single inspired by Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and sung from the perspective of a mistress as she begs forgiveness from the woman she unknowingly wronged. It’s plenty good, but definitely not as satisfying as a new record will be. ROBERT HAM

Fashion in Film: The Cell
Eden Dawn and former Mercury fashion maven Marjorie Skinner present Tarsem Singh’s 2000 debut, The Cell, a film known almost entirely for its riot of visual stimuli at the expense of anything even remotely resembling coherent storytelling. In Tarsem’s defense, story just kinda gets in the way when all you really wanna do is marvel at the succession of frames packed full-to-bursting with candy-coated fistfuls of “What the fuck am I looking at.” The film is preceded by a showcase for bags, accessories, and bondage gear as designed and created by local leather line Colty, with runway walkers including models, twins, and minotaur men.

Hayley Kiyoko
Hayley Kiyoko has been in the spotlight since her childhood—with film roles, TV appearances, and even a tour opening for Justin Bieber as a member of pop group the Stunners all on her resume before she was of legal drinking age. Still, her solo debut Expectations feels like our first true up-close-and-personal look at Kiyoko. Turns out her hit 2015 single “Girls Like Girls” paved the way for the new album, which finds Kiyoko singing plainly about lesbian relationships and sensuality to the sound of electronic dream-pop. While there are more openly gay pop stars than ever, it’s still rare—and vital, and wonderful—to hear a young woman singing about women. “I think it’s just important for people to lead by example,” she told Billboard last month. “My motto is to help people love themselves sooner.” EMMA BURKE

Sleeping Beauties, The Cavemen, The Pathogens
Sleeping Beauties press full-throttle through their thrashy punk paradigm. The band is comprised of members from local underground legends like the Hunches and Eat Skull, but the Beauties themselves have in a short time forged their own unpredictable niche of unabashed rock ’n’ roll filth. See them play every time. RYAN J. PRADO
