It's not often you can be treated to a night of rock and metal in central Alabama, but that's exactly what took place on Friday, March 14, 2025 when Ovtlier, from New York and Shallow Side, from Cullman, took the stage at Prattville's The Bottom.

The venue itself was interesting, tucked off on the side of the road and incredibly easy to pass had you not been looking for it. Oddly enough, though, it was the perfect place for live music. The stage area took up a decent portion of the space, which was filled with regulars, bikers and fans of both bands.

Despite technical difficulties during Ovtlier's set, the group still had a killer set, which included a song called "Warriors", which was released in 2024 and features Chris Motionless from Motionless in White. After a brief break, Alabama's own Shallow Side took the stage, playing an amazing medley of original songs, covers and even a few acoustic songs. Their energy was befitting of a festival stage the entire night and if they keep putting out incredible music, they will continue to add festival names to their resume very soon.
