Alright Hellions - we're now one week away from SOLDIERS OF STEEL VOL. I

Unfortunately as we draw closer to the eve of our first edition, some last minute changes are unavoidable. Rick Pierce Group is unable to perform as one of their members is not cleared to fly after a recent medical procedure. We wish him the best and a speedy recovery!

We've added Hellslaught to the bill and we will have set times and running order posted tomorrow morning for everyone to plan for.

If you haven't purchased tickets yet, you can do so via Eventbrite - but if you'd like to avoid online ticket handling fees you can still purchase passes at the door!

We live in weird and challenging times for artists, musicians, and people who don't subscribe to the norm. Organizing and promoting a large event with so many moving pieces is already difficult, but more so now in 2025 with a rapidly changing landscape. You can't rely on pre-sales alone to gauge interest in your events, you can't expect social media likes to translate to popularity, you can't know until the very moments you open the doors and the first band starts to play how something is going to shake out. Other underground promoters and organizers know this - People are hit hard by the economy and the weight of the world. Providing a unique experience for fans and opportunities for bands to breathe life and build up our very niche scene, promoting PNW oldschool heavy metal and shining a light on Seattle's heavy metal history is what we are aiming for with this year's first event.

Even if the odds feel against you up to the last minute, we can promise that underground music and art makes life worth living. Heavy metal will never die - that much is true.

It's going to be a very busy weekend and we are very excited to see you all!

Today we announce with great anticipation - will take the helm as our co-headliner for Day 2 of SOLDIERS OF STEEL VOL. I Saturday Aug. 2nd!

Hailing from North Carolina and soaring on the heels of a fantastic set at Stormbringer Metal Festival - This will be a PNW exclusive appearance and their first time in Seattle. They have not visited the West Coast in 8-10 years, so you can guess just how exciting it is to have the opportunity to present a band with such underground true heavy metal cult appeal on our line up.

SEE YOU IN AUGUST WITH AXES HELD HIGH

It is with great regret that we announce today Heir Apparent is ultimately unable to play SOLDIERS OF STEEL VOL. I afterall. Despite searching to replace their drummer for upcoming rehearsals, they are unable to secure a suitable replacement in time for August. We will gladly welcome them back during another edition, but at this point the call had to be made.

We can assure you that we have an excellent alternative Day 2 co-headliner in the works and we are expecting to announce Monday. Hang tight and keep your notifications on - we will see you front and center!

For those of you traveling to our event from outside of Seattle, there is a list of local transit options posted in our FB event page discussion thread if you want to avoid spendy Uber rides and see the city. We will also be posting a list of local record stores and restaurant & brewery options within walking distance, and a few cool things to see around Fremont and Ballard for the weekend.

24/06/2025

We'll have a more concise list for you soon, but for folks visiting that are unfamiliar with the area around The Substation in Seattle, here is a quick run down of transit options to look into depending on where you are staying or what you would like to do during the day. Substation is located in the Fremont neighborhood and it is accessible by several bus lines.

To reach Substation Seattle at 645 NW 45th St, the following King County Metro bus routes are available to the Fremont neighborhood:

From Downtown Seattle: Routes 5, 40, and 62.
From the North End: Routes 5 or 62.
From Ballard or the U-District (for Upper Fremont): Route 44.
From Magnolia/Queen Anne or the U-District (for downtown Fremont): Routes 31/32.

Closest Bus Stops:
The Fremont neighborhood, where Substation is located, has several nearby bus stops:
Fremont Ave N & N 34th St (3 min walk)
Aurora Ave N & N 38th St (5 min walk)

Important Note: Due to construction in Fremont, some bus routes, including 31, 32, 40, and 62, are experiencing temporary reroutes and stop changes. These temporary changes are anticipated to continue through 2025.

For detailed information on routes, schedules, and temporary stop locations, visit the King County Metro website. Real-time bus information can also be accessed through apps like One Bus Away or Moovit, or by using the King County Metro Trip Planner.
