40 Years of the Apocalypse Anniversary Tour 2024 Hits Montreal
Le Studio TD in Montreal was ablaze with the fiery onslaught of death metal as the “40 Years of the Apocalypse Anniversary Tour 2024” stormed through the city. Featuring the formidable lineup of Vader, Origin, and Inhuman Condition, this tour marks four decades of Vader’s reign as a pillar of death/thrash metal.
Inhuman Condition: A Refreshing Blast from the Past
Kicking off the night at 7 p.m. sharp, Inhuman Condition wasted no time in unleashing their brand of old-school death metal upon the eager crowd. Formed from the ashes of legendary bands like Deicide and Obituary, Inhuman Condition felt like a mini supergroup, with each member bringing their own pedigree to the stage. Led by the dynamic vocals of Jeramie Kling and fueled by infectious riffs, their performance transported us back to the heyday of Florida’s aggressive death metal scene. A poignant moment came when they dedicated Death’s “Pull the Plug” to their former tour bus driver, igniting a massive mosh pit that engulfed the venue. Inhuman Condition proved to be the evening’s revelation, setting the stage for what was to come.
Origin: Technical Brutality Unleashed
Following Inhuman Condition’s onslaught, Origin took the stage with their trademark technical brutality. With a sound that hit like repeated shovel blows to the face, Origin wasted no time in asserting their dominance. Led by the ferocious vocals of Jason Keyser and bolstered by bassist Mike Flores’s guttural roars, their dual vocal assault was a force to be reckoned with. Drawing from their latest album, “Chaosmos,” and delving into their extensive discography, Origin delivered a relentless barrage of sonic mayhem that left the audience breathless. From body surfing to stage diving, the energy in the venue reached a fever pitch as Origin commanded the stage with unparalleled intensity. For fans of technical, brutal death metal, Origin’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing.
Vader: Legends Unleash Pure Metal Fury
As the night reached its climax, the legends of Vader took the stage to bring the evening to a thunderous close. With a career spanning over four decades, Vader’s influence on the death/thrash metal genre is undeniable, and their performance at Le Studio TD only solidified their legendary status. Opening with the classic “Decapitated Saints” from their seminal album “The Ultimate Incantation,” Vader unleashed a relentless onslaught of pure metal fury that electrified the crowd. With over 20 songs spanning their extensive discography, including a special nod to their debut album, Vader’s set was a masterclass in old-school aggression. Frontman Piotr Wiwczarek’s commanding presence and powerful vocals captivated the audience, while the band’s tight musicianship kept the energy levels soaring throughout the night. As the final notes echoed through the venue, it was clear that Vader’s legacy remains as potent as ever.
