Enemy of Magic. | VIA THE ARTIST
8 p.m. Saturday, January 7. e Heavy Anchor, 5226 Gravois Avenue. $10. 314-352-5226.
Enemy of Magic’s metallic rock feels like some sought-after secret treasure that was found in a chest tucked away in some obscure corridor of the many Missouri caves that rest below St. Louis. The band’s first EP Antimoon dropped in late 2021 with two dark and doomy songs that probably pair nicely with midnight spelunking, or at least play well in the background of your weekly D&D campaign — “Cobramania” is fit for a last boss. With the new Spellbreaker EP, Enemy of Magic iterates on its own blueprint for dark and mystical metal with mighty melodic leads and a dominant, triumphant tone throughout. In this new set of recordings, the band fully realizes the scope hinted at in early recordings, with an obvious levelup in production values courtesy of Ryan Wasoba (of like-minded metal band Thor Axe). The added clarity means that Aaron Kelly’s visceral vocals texturally blend with the skillful gnar of Lindsay Cranmer’s guitar. Joel Stillwell’s proggy bass lines run in lockstep with thunderous beats by drummer Eli Hindman, who hits those toms earbustingly hard and drives each song with a propulsive thump. To celebrate Spellbreaker’s release, Enemy of Magic takes to the high seas at the Heavy Anchor with two of St. Louis’ most explorative bands in Subtropolis and Seashine. Pull the String: Speaking of Subtropolis, the river city’s undisputed No. 1 (and maybe only) trash-prog duo unleashed a set of eight brain-bending, riff-heavy hits back in 2021 called Protect From Light that was mastered by Todd Rittman (U.S. Maple, Dead Rider) and that should definitely be on your radar. —Joseph Hess

7:30 p.m. Saturday, January 7. Blue Strawberry Showroom & Lounge, 364 North Boyle Avenue. $25 to $30. 314-256-1745.
Whether she’s taking the stage in a cool New York jazz club, bringing the house down in Chicago on New Year’s Eve or singing in her hometown of St. Louis, Denise Thimes is becoming a jazz legend in real time. Some might say she’s already there and then some, and it’s hard to argue when Thimes has performed for literal queens and presidents — be sure to ask her about the time she sang for George W Bush at the White House in 2007. She has shared the stage with Wynton Marsalis, toured Paris with renowned jazz saxophonist David Sanborn and was even personally picked by Aretha Franklin to sing at the Queen of Soul’s 72nd birthday celebration. So why isn’t Denise Thimes a household name? Well that all depends on who you ask, since her body of work also includes a decorated stage acting career where Thimes has earned eight Woodie Awards for acting and musical performance. Expect the banter and storytelling between the songs to be just as compelling as her adventurous and extensive repertoire of vocal jazz. Theme Music: The theme on this night is “Resolutions!” And while that may be no surprise given the time of the year, Thimes is uniquely equipped to fulfill the kind of inspirational evening one might need to actually follow through on that lofty set of New Year’s resolutions. —Joseph Hess
