Trivium Sells Out Starlite Room on Edmonton Stop of North American Tour - February 10, 2016

Dana Zuk February 15, 2016

PHOTOGRAPHED FOR VANDALA MAGAZINE


It's been roughly four years since I last saw Trivium on an Edmonton stage. Far too long to have gone without witnessing the epicness of their performance. Thankfully, I was able to get my fill of their stellar set on Wednesday night at the Starlite Room. Accompanied by the talented likes of local support acts The Order of Chaos and All Else Fails, each band had the house rocking from wall to wall.

Leading the charge, All Else Fails meant business as they took to the stage to kick off the evening. Seizing the attention of their audience, playing a number of killer songs that encouraged their audience to headbang along with the raspy vocals and shreddy guitar solos featured in each track. The band definitely left a lasting impression on this particular Edmonton crowd. 

Continuing the flow of adrenaline, The Order of Chaos delivered a relentless performance to a full floor. Non-stop shred-action from start to finish, the band had the house jumping, moshing and headbanging; Channeling energy between performer and audience, putting the cherry on top of an already awesome night.

Taking to a dimly lit stage, Trivium boomed into their set, starting with the title track off of their newest album: "Silence in the Snow", causing the crowd at the Starlite Room to go absolutely wild. Exchanging smiles and fist bumps with near by concert goers, Trivium powered through their heavy 14 song set, playing tracks spanning their 10+ year career that had the house rockin' from side to side, front to back. With each cheer the audience would roar at the band, Trivium answered back by crushing the catchy melodies of fan favorite tracks included in the set, such as: "Strife" , "Insurrection", "Tread The Floods" and "Down From The Sky", all building anticipation for the pounding chorus of their encore track, "In Waves", which resulted in total chaos among fans as they sang, moshed, and headbanged the night away. The voices of Trivium's Edmonton fans could be heard singing along to their performance from the snowy streets outside of the venue, meaning only one thing... That Trivium had once again dominated Edmonton, leaving a memorable impression on their old and new fans at the Starlite Room, that will be talked about for months to come.

THE ORDER OF CHAOS

The Order of Chaos Bring Chaos and Order to Union Hall at 'Apocalypse Moon' CD Release Party - July 25, 2015

Dana Zuk July 27, 2015

The Order of Chaos put on one hell of a party on Saturday night with Edmonton locals Atrates, the Tylor Dory Trio, and Calgary's Scythia at their side, in celebration of their newest album: Apocalypse Moon! Playing to a full floor at Union Hall, The Order of Chaos delivered a performance that was nothing short of incredible.
Kicking off the night with Atrates as our opener, the melodic death metal group boomed through their set, with songs consisting of gritty vocals, countless rippin' guitar solos and booming drums; This was just the right ingredient to get the crowd warmed up for what was to come.
Following on with progressive rockers of the Tylor Dory Trio. Different from the other bands on the bill, but yet so suiting, the Tylor Dory Trio intricately shredded through their set with beautiful melodies, both impressive and delicate. As the cherry on top of this particular performance, the band welcomed John Saturley (guitarist of The Order of Chaos) to the stage, where then they covered "The Drappery Falls" (Opeth - Blackwater Park - 2001), doing the 10 minute epic justice, staying true to the song, and remaining on par with the original track in terms of epicness.
Third of the night, Calgary's own progressive/folk metal masters Scythia stormed the stage, blasting and chanting into a chaotic set that left the audience smiling, headbanging and with the horns held high, singing along to the pleasant melodies of original songs such as "Bear Claw Tavern" and "Reflections". 
The crowd began to inch closer and closer to the stage, the excitement in the air was thick enough to slice with a blunt knife, as the room eagerly awaited The Order of Chaos' appearance. Appearing on stage as silhouettes though the fog, the soaring voice of front woman, Amanda Kiernan, broke the stillness. Starting off strong with a track from the new album, "Survival of the Richest", The Order of Chaos brought exactly what you would expect to the stage... CHAOS! As one of Edmonton's most popular metal bands, a forefather to our local music scene, and running strong for over 10 years, The Order always puts on a show that's a mash up of impressive, destructive and energetic elements, making them a must-see act every time they take the stage. Between the screaming guitars of John Simon Fallon and John Saturley, the band smashed and bashed their way though an 11 song set, mainly consisting of new songs, but made up of tracks spanning their 10+ year career, including fan favorites such as: "Chaos in Cairo", "Get in the Pit", "A Torturer's Apprentice", and also welcoming guest pianist, Sophia Barry, for the opening interlude of "The Devil You Know", as well as Amanda's occasional offering of a beer-bong for those on the front rail for a highlight of the set. Finishing strong with the rolling bass lines of The Order of Chaos' newest member, Barrett Klesko, complimenting the bone-rattling drumming of Tim Prevost, as he kicked it into high gear with the title track off the new album "Apocalypse Moon". The band played their instruments more aggressively than ever before while falling into their finale, pleasantly saying goodnight to Edmonton with the haunting and relentless melodies of "Darklord". Shaking hands with nearby fans, and exchanging smiles and hugs, The Order of Chaos had once again put on a remarkable performance that wont soon be forgotten!
