Invent Animate | Baltimore, MD

The Heavener tour made its way to a sold-out show at The Soundstage in Baltimore, Maryland on October 1st. Void of Vision, Thrown, and Aviana joined Invent, Animate to support their first headline tour while celebrating the release of their album Heavener. 

All the way from Sweden, Aviana kicked off the night playing "Rage" to set the energy for the night. During one of the songs, vocalist Joel Holmqvis jumped off the stage to sing at the barricade with the crowd. Their lighting setup and most of the members being masked created a fun visual performance that kept the fans wanting more. 

Also from Sweden, Thrown took the stage next. They started their set with "Grayout”, and the crowd immediately brought the energy. During their second song, the microphones went out, but the band still played the music instrumentally, and the crowd kept up with the high energy. They ended their set playing fan favorites "Dwell" and "Parasite”.

Up next was Void of Vision. They started their set with songs "BERGHAIN" and "DOMINATRIX". The energy from the band had the crowd giving back the same energy. Their set list showcased their ability with genre shifts and unique vocal styles. Vocalist Jack Bergin knew how to keep the crowd moving. He would ensure the crowd was either jumping or moshing at all times. They closed their set with "Angel Of Darkness”.

The moment Invent, Animate took the stage, the crowd was screaming. Opening their set with "Absence Persistently”, then seamlessly transitioning to "Shade Away'' and "Fale Meridian”, leaving fans shell shocked by their impeccable capabilities. The crowd was ready to scream along to every song. During "Reverie”, the band walked off stage while vocalist Marcus Vik got to showcase his falsetto. The band played a few more fan favorites, "Labyrinth”, "Luna”, and "Heavener”. The crowd kept up the energy so much that you could feel the room shaking. With soaring riffs and intense drum fills, the band closed the night with "Immolation of Night”.
