SanguisSugabogg started the night off, and as their set started so did the mosh pits! Opening track “Face Ripped Off” easily set the tone for the chaotic atmosphere the band was trying to create within the crowd. Later in the set before performing “Skin Cushion” front-man -Devin Swank pulled out the iconic Sugaball and announced to whoever can run this ball to the merch table, receives a free piece of their choosing. The set only got heavier from there and by the time they played fan favorite “Permanently Fucked” to close the first act of the night, you could feel the wind off the pits, the entire floor was moshing to each and every blast beat!
Kublai Khan TX was next to take the stage. You felt the energy within the crowd rising, With LED crosshairs on stage, fans were waiting for the death metal growls to start firing. Kublai recently released their sixth full length project “Exhibition of Prowess” And opened the set with the lead single “Supreme Ruler” which ends with a wall shattering chant, along with the two follow up singles “Theory of Mind” and “Low Tech.” The band continued the set with multiple fan favorites before closing it out with an mind blowing performance of “Antpile” and “Antpile 2”
White Chapel was up next to the stage. As the lights went dark and anticipation brewed, Chants of “White Chapel” echoed throughout the venue. The band came out to the stage and from start to finish rocked the roof off the place!

Lorna Shore’s time has come to make History in Toronto. The band walked out one by one with the crowd getting louder with each member’s reveal. When front-man Will Ramos, walked out, the venue was so amped up the sound barrier could’ve broken. Opening track “Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer” was the perfect intro for what was to come. Up until technical difficulties made the band pause the show momentarily. Laughing it off, The band quickly gets back to routine and plays the song from the very beginning! Half way through the set, The band brought out “Nick Chance” to sing vocals on “Cursed to Die” then proceeded to finish the rest of the “Pain Remains” album in full before coming out to do an encore of their biggest track to date “To the Hellfire”.
