A Neuqua Valley High School metal band is on the verge of winning a Chicagoland metal contest.
Screams of Winter, a metal band with three Neuqua students, was in second place as of 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Chicagoland online voting competition. The competition, called "Chicago Metal Wars," began March 3 and is put on by Chicagoland music magazine Buzz S&E. Voting closes at 10 p.m. today.
Carol Damske, mother of guitarist Maxwell and bassist and composer Alex, described her sons' music as "metal ... with almost a celtic blend to some of their riffs."
The band who finishes second in the voting will open in the first time slot at 7 p.m. for Joey Belladonna, while the winning band will be moved to the second time slot, 7:50 p.m.
