Local metal heads showed up to head bang to tunes and to help a local food bank over the weekend at a Downtown Jacksonville concert venue.

Into Eden, Hessian Lord, and Blind Mind lit up the stage on Saturday night at Pizza Records, located at 59 East Central Park Plaza to a full crowd. The over 3 hour show had more than 100 people in attendance.

This may seem like a regular night for a downtown music event, but it was not. The $5 cover charge for those in attendance was all in benefit of the Jacksonville Area Food Center.

EYECON, a Jacksonville-based media production company filmed the concert. The EYECON Facebook Page announced today that the concert raised $555 for the Food Center.
