[DID NOT ATTEND: March 24, 2024] Voivod / Prong / Traverse the Abyss / Black Horizon
Originally I was told that the opening band was War on Women and I was super excited to see them. Indeed it was Voivod (who I love) and War on Women (who I’ve heard are amazing live) that made me consider getting a ticket. I used to really like Prong a lot, but that was thirty years ago and I had no idea they were still making music. I actually can’t find any official word anywhere that War on Women was going to open, but I didn’t just make it up. Anyhow, I received an update a couple of days ago that the openers were going to be Traverse the Abyss and Black Horizon.
And that changed everything.
I had been out the night before and it’s hard to get motivated to go out if you’ve been in a cozy house all day.
So, when I saw that one third of the reason I wanted to go was no longer there, it really made me rethink my plans.
I saw Voivod five years ago (it feel much more recent than that) and I would very much like to see the again, but that one show made a lasting impression on me. I see that the setlist is quiet different than the last time, with a great amount of variety in the music, so it would certainly have been a good show. But it didn’t feel compelling enough to drive all that way on a Sunday night. (more…)
