Vancouver metalheads, tonight’s the night! The legendary death metal band DEICIDE is storming the Rickshaw Theatre, bringing their brutal sound to the heart of the city. Alongside them are death metal heavyweights KRISIUN, melodic tech-death outfit INFERI, and the dark, atmospheric metal band CLOAK. If you’re a fan of extreme metal, this is the kind of lineup you don’t want to miss.
The Headliner: DEICIDE
Formed in 1987, DEICIDE has been a cornerstone of the death metal genre for decades, known for their controversial lyrics and relentless sound. Their influence on the metal world is undeniable, with albums like Legion and Once Upon the Cross solidifying their place as icons. Led by frontman Glen Benton, DEICIDE continues to push the boundaries of death metal, and their live shows are pure chaos – a perfect storm of guttural vocals, blazing guitars, and crushing drums.
Tonight’s performance promises to be nothing short of explosive as DEICIDE unleashes a barrage of their most iconic tracks along with cuts from their latest releases.
Supporting Acts: KRISIUN, INFERI, and CLOAK
Brazil’s KRISIUN will be co-headlining, bringing their signature brand of blistering death metal. Known for their intensity and speed, this trio has been a driving force in the global metal scene since the 90s. Their precise, machine-gun-like drumming and fierce guitar work will leave you breathless.
Joining the lineup is Nashville’s INFERI, masters of technical and melodic death metal. Their intricate riffs and rapid-fire rhythms are the perfect balance of brutality and finesse. If you haven’t heard their latest album, Vile Genesis, you’re in for a treat tonight.
Opening the night is CLOAK, hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. Their dark, moody mix of black and heavy metal sets the stage for an evening of headbanging and mosh-pit madness. CLOAK’s atmospheric soundscapes are sure to pull you into their shadowy world.
