Rob Zombie performs on the Shockwave Stage during the last day of the Aftershock Music Festival in Sacramento on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025. (Chris Riley/Times-Herald)Rob Zombie lived up his mighty legend, rocking through an hourlong set that included 12 hard-hitting songs. The presentation was first-tier shock rock, but the music itself was more of a groove/industrial metal hybrid. He wowed fans with such favorites as “More Human Than Human” and “Dragula,” but also made the announcement that he plans to release new music very soon.
Maria Brink performs with In This Moment on the Shockwave Stage during the last day of Aftershock on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, in Sacramento. (Chris Riley/Times-Herald)In This Moment delivered an absolutely spellbinding mix of gothic and industrial metal sounds, but one rooted in an early 2000s alt-rock. Maria Brinks was a dynamic frontwoman, in total control as she transported Aftershock fans through an equally intriguing and bizarre horror/fantasy concept concert that felt almost cinematic in scope.
New GWAR guitarist, Grodius Maximus, performs with the band on the DWPresents Stage during the last day of the Aftershock Music Festival in Sacramento on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025. (Chris Riley/Times-Herald)There’s not many actual details from the Gwar show that I can relay in print and still keep my job. Let’s just say that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would not have appreciated one of the extremely tasteless and outrageous bits during the set. But tasteless and outrageous in what Gwar does — and nobody has ever done it bigger or bolder.
