The Rituals of Hate Tour came in with their absolutely stacked deathcore lineup on November 19, 2025, at Anthology in Rochester, NY. The night was full of mosh pits, crowd surfers, super heavy breakdowns, horns in the air, and crowd cheering and screaming in excitement the whole night. Anthology was packed from front to back, with people shoulder to shoulder. This was my first time seeing all these bands live, and it was the heaviest show I have ever attended. This lineup did not disappoint!

The Neverest Duality tour was united by musicians Halestorm and Lindsey Stirling on September 16, 2025, at the Upstate Medical University at The Oncenter War Memorial in Syracuse, New York. Apocalyptica was also in support of this fantastic lineup. This show was astonishing, and I couldn’t dare blink for a second, as each band’s set was packed with so much action. There’s a lot to explain about what made this show so exciting.

Buffalo, NY, brought all the energy and devotion to welcoming The Funeral Portrait with support from The Rasmus, Archers, and Glasswaves. The Rec Room had a long line from the door, with people crowding to the front of the stage, and anticipation built as the music was about to start.
