[POSTPONED: May 6, 2020] Five Finger Death Punch / Ice Nine Kills / I Prevail / Papa Roach [moved to October 28]
My son and his friends were going to go to this show primarily for Ice Nine Kills.
He and I saw Ice Nine Kills last summer and thought they were amazing. So good in fact that I offered to be the chaperone of this show (rather than his friend’s dad). It might still happen.
I feel like disappointment is inevitable since INK are opening, not headlining. And they wont be on as long or be able to do as much (I assume), but even a little INK is better than none.
I actually don’t know Five Finger Death Punch, although I’ve certainly heard of them. I had no idea they were [according to Wikipedia] one of the most successful heavy metal bands of the decade. The few songs I’ve heard were alternately catchy or really vulgar.
I don’t know I Prevail, but they are a metalcore band, like so many other bands these days. Catchy with some screamo vocals.
I’ve known of Papa Roach for a long time but have never heard them. I feel like I dismissed them early on because they were part of the nu metal scene.
Papa Roach has been described as alternative metal, alternative rock,hard rock,nu metal,rap metal. Allmusic has compared the band’s recent work to 1980s glam metal-a knowing update of an ’80s Sunset Strip sleaze rock outfit with new elements of djent.
I listened to one song (from 2005) and found it catchy and another song (from 2015) and heard the djent influences.
I think this entire show would have been exhausting.
