With the lineup solidified by bassist Terry Butler and guitarist Kenny Andrews, late-era highlights have included Inked in Blood, a self-titled release and Dying of Everything. With 11 studio albums and a devoted global following, the band continues to deliver the uncompromising intensity that defined its legacy.

8/8 lion’s gate portal metaphysical market

The debut Lion’s Gate Portal Metaphysical Market transforms Hi Tone into an indoor, free-entry celebration of spiritual arts, tools, and community. Rooted in an annual celestial alignment involving the Sun in Leo, Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and Earth, the gathering centers on themes of activation, awakening, intention setting, intuitive guidance, abundance, manifestation, and deeper cosmic connection. With a powerful triple eight resonance, the focus extends beyond personal empowerment to possibilities for collective transformation as well. Shoppers will find a wide range of items for meditation, ritual, and spiritual practice, including crystals and stones, prayer and divination candles, wands, tarot cards, pendulums, crystal daggers, and handcrafted journals. Vendors will also showcase natural stone and chainmail jewelry, rune sets, stained glass pieces, pottery, natural body products, sacred geometry jewelry, and original paintings. Many are creating special offerings inspired by the market’s metaphysical theme and the Lion’s Gate alignment. Various tarot and oracle readings will be available. Refreshments take the form of themed potions, with options such as alcoholic beverages, natural juices, Third Eye teas, other herbal blends, and gourmet homemade desserts from Tiffanie’s Charming Cupcakes. Vendor spotlights are being shared on the event page. All vending spaces are taken. Posts or messages claiming to sell vendor spots are scams, and only the organizer, Just Jewelry Memphis / Laura Sullivan, is affiliated with the event.
