The Aussies took over The Cabooze in Minneapolis on Sunday night for the all-ages Noise Presents: Ire Tour, featuring Parkway Drive, Miss May I, Thy Art is Murder and In Hearts Wake.
There was nothing quiet and calming about the show. From the second that opening act In Heart Wake (an Australian metalcore band) took the stage, the crowd erupted along with the energy of the band. For an opening band, these guys really knew how to get the crowd going and how to keep the energy up. Singer Jake Taylor was all over the stage and getting in the crowd's faces which is exactly what you want at a heavy show like this.
They impressed the crowd with their professional sound and pure talent. These guys have toured the US with acts such as The Ghost Inside and Every Time I Die but had yet to hit up the Twin Cities. After the response they got from the crowd, they promised they would be back next year and for good reason. Keep your eyes on these guys. They are going to hit the scene and blow it up.
Next up was Thy Art Is Murder, a deathcore band also from Australia. I saw these guys last October at The Skyway Theater supporting Born Of Osiris. Unfortunately, they did not catch my or get me going. They changed that this time. They absolutely killed it last night. Their set was heavy. It was hard to distinguish any words sung, maybe yelled is a better word, by singer/screamer/growler Chris "CJ" McMahon but that's part of their charm.
Miss May I was the only American band on the bill last night. They are a melodic hardcore band from Ohio that has toured with bands such as Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine. I saw these guys this past February at Mill City Nights with August Burns Red. They did so much better last night because of the intimacy of the venue. There were kids trying to crowd surf but due to the size of the club, there were no barricades to the kids would just end up on the stage. This would annoy many bands but all of the bands last night (including Miss May I) took this as an opportunity to get closer with the fans by giving them high fives and hugs as they barreled onto the stage.
The night concluded with legends Parkway Drive from Australia. These guys have been around forever but haven't been to the Twin Cities for a headlining show in 5+ years. They brought down the house with their heavy hitting metalcore anthems. The thing that separates these guys from other metalcore bands is the fact that there are no clean vocals. Every word put through the microphone was shouted and the crowd and the crowd had no problem shouting right back.
There was an endless stream of crowd surfers that seemed to get stranded up on the stage for a few moments until either another member of the crowd threw them back onto the sweaty pile of people that had gathered at the front of the stage of a tech guy did the same. There was nothing but respect felt for this band. They were pioneers and legends and the kids in the crowd treated them as such. No on tried to grab the microphones away, they simply banged their heads and pumped their fists until they were swallowed up by the sweaty pit.
This tour was in support of Parkway Drive's newest release Ire which came out September on Epitaph Records, but they played songs that dated all the way back to their debut album Killing With a Smile.
