For those lucky enough to have caught the metal legends Death in a live setting, no introduction to the band’s players is needed; and while its founder, Chuck Schuldiner, passed away from pneumonia and brain tumor complications nearly 22 years ago, his importance in the underground metal scene cannot be understated.

For the uninitiated, the North American Death To All touring band, or DTA, that’s coming to Roseville on March 6 will feature singer and guitarist Max Phelps of Cynic, bassist Steve Di Giorgio of Death, Testament and Sadus, guitarist Bobby Koelble of Death and drum master Gene Hoglan of Death, Dark Angel and Dethklok.

This year’s tour will also commemorate the 30th anniversary of “Individual Thought Patterns,” featuring fan favorites and deep cuts from the band’s other storied catalog that includes “Symbolic,” “Human,” “Spiritual Healing” and more.

The tour kicks off on March 2^nd in Seattle and concludes in Denver on April 1^st. Special guests include the mighty Suffocation from New York and El Cajon’s own awesome thrash metal entry, Nukem.

Tickets to the Roseville show can be purchased in advance at www.goldfieldtradingpost.com for $35 and a VIP seating option is also available for an extra $25. All ages are welcome. Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show starting at 7 p.m. Goldfield Trading Post is located at 238 Vernon Street in Roseville. Don’t sleep on this one.

Sacramento hometown hero will be on deck for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross on Feb. 18

Although Sacramento has proven it can bring out record numbers for outdoor motocross at Prairie City’s annual Hangtown event, few riders generally stand a chance of making their name on the pro Supercross circuit, whether they’re from the Capital Region or not.

While many motocross fans have their eyes on plenty of upper-eschelon names – Cooper Webb, Malcolm Stewart, Christian Craig, Adam Cianciarulo and Jason Anderson to name a few – many Sacramentans are especially rooting for 19-year-old native son Maximus Vohland on his Red Bull KTM.

A fourth generation motocrosser, Maximus is the son of pro rider Tallon Vohland and counts well-known bike-master Tyson Vohland as his uncle. And while Maximus had a disappointing showing in the last Eastern Regional 250 Super cross season (42^nd overall), he did end up finishing an impressive 6^th overall in the outdoor motocross series.

On Feb. 18, Maximus will be racing with the #34 plate at the rescheduled 2^nd round of the 250 Western Regional, an Oakland event happening not far from where he lives in Sacramento. This is a make-or-break year for the young Vohland as his factory KTM ride is set to expire unless his Supercross results turn around.

Maximus only turned pro back in 2021, but his name has been buzzing around Supercross circles ever since. If his lineage is any indication, the Bay’s upcoming Supercross event will be the race to watch. Doors are at 10 a.m. with the opening ceremonies kicking off at 4:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here, with cheaper seats starting at $22 and the more expensive tier topping out at $95. RingCentral Coliseum is located at 7000 Joe Morgan Way in Oakland.
