Voivod And Prong Co-Headline A Night Of Metal In Vancouver
The Commodore Ballroom became ground zero for a metal meltdown on Thursday, as Prong and Voivod unleashed a sonic onslaught that left the crowd reeling and hungry for more.
From the moment Prong kicked off with “The Descent,” it was clear that tonight was going to be a wild ride. Each riff was like a punch to the gut, while tracks like “Unconditional” and “Disbelief” had the crowd in a frenzy of headbanging and fist-pumping.
But it wasn’t all about their hits; Prong also treated the audience to some unexpected surprises, including a wicked cover of Killing Joke’s “Seeing Red” and their adored rendition of Rush’s “Working Man”.
As the set continued with relentless energy, tracks like “Broken Peace” and “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” kept the momentum at full throttle, leaving no doubt that Prong was in top form.
As if the crowd wasn’t already whipped into a frenzy, Canadian metal titans, Voivod, took the stage and cranked the intensity up to eleven.
Launching into 1987’s “Killing Technology” they delivered a musical assault that was as mind-bending as it was relentless. With their signature blend of thrash-striken prog, Voivod proved why they’re legends of the genre.
Newly reimagined tracks like “Fix My Heart” showcased their ability to still execute intricate melodies while classics like “Voivod” and the ever feral “Condemed To The Gallows” highlighted the band’s most bone-crushing riffs, leaving fans rabid.
As the night came to a close, it was clear that both Prong and Voivod left an undeniable mark on the Commodore Ballroom, not unlike the first time they shared that stage back in the early 90s’.
