On a Wednesday night in **Toronto** I could spend $120 to see 4 great bands, get a t-shirt, pay for parking and have 2 beers. You would think I was crazy. The show started right at 7pm and the place was packed. Usually for the first or second band the venue is only half full, but not tonight. The crowd was so into the music at **The** **Opera House** \- lots of energy for all the bands. This was an amazing night for metalcore in **Toronto.** It was an all ages event also so you got to see all the younger teens supporting the metal scene. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/e2/dbe2ac7e-62ef-4b13-917a-63221a045127/content/images/2025/02/IMG_5422.JPG) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/e2/dbe2ac7e-62ef-4b13-917a-63221a045127/content/images/2025/02/thumbnail_IMG_5376-1.jpg) First up were **Windwaker** who are a metalcore band from **Melbourne, Australia.** I would have to say they are a hip hop / pop / metalcore band, so their music reminded me of the Weekend. They just released *Hyperviolence (Expansion Pack)* on February 14, 2025\. They had the crowd going right at the start of their first song. The crowd loved them, they were jumping all around. They even had the mosh pit going. At the end of their set they had the fans turn on their flashlight on their phones, it was like watching an 80’s hair metal ballad. **Windwaker** did not disappoint. **Windwaker** Setlist: 1\. Dopamine Freestyle 2\. Tabula Rasa 3\. Apathy 4\. Fractured State of Mind 5\. The Wall 6\. Break the Rules 7\. Venom 8\. SIRENS ***Band Members:*** **Liam Guinane** on Vocals and Rhythm Guitar **Justin Keurntjes** on Lead Guitar **Indey Salvestro** on Bass **Chris Lalic** on Drums **Connor Robins** on Keyboards ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/e2/dbe2ac7e-62ef-4b13-917a-63221a045127/content/images/2025/02/IMG_5411.JPG) Up next were **Aviana**, a Swedish metalcore/Djent band out of Gothenburg. They released a single "Storm Ablaze" in January. They came out with a bang. The vocalist was intense. All the member wore masks except the lead vocalist **Joel.** This is where the heaviness of the music started for the night. The crowd surfing started. At one-point **Joel** had the audience sit down for a song. It was awesome. **Aviana** Setlist: 1\. Delirium 2\. Storm Ablaze 3\. Rage 4\. My Worst Enemy 5\. Father 6\. Oblivion 7\. Anomaly 8\. Obsession ***Band Members:*** **Joel Holmqvist** on Vocals and three masked members ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/e2/dbe2ac7e-62ef-4b13-917a-63221a045127/content/images/2025/02/IMG_5396.JPG) Next up were **Like Moths to Flames**, they are an American metalcore band out of **Columbus, Ohio**. They released their 6th Album, *The Cycles of Trying to Cope* in May of 2024. I would have to say that a lot of the fans were there to see them. **Chris** the vocalist was full of energy, running around on the stage for the whole set, and the crowd was singing along to every song. He even had the fans jump everytime he screamed jump. There crowd surfing got intense, the security had their work cut out tonight. Near the end of the set **Chris** had fans start a circle pit and the crowd loved it. **Chris** even thanked all the bands that played tonight, I thought that was a touch of class. **Like Moths to Flames** Setlist: 1\. Habitual Decline 2\. Over the Garden Wall 3\. You’ll Burn 4\. The Worst in Me 5\. Burn in Water, Drown in Flame 6\. What Do We See When We Leave This Place? 7\. I Solemnly Swear 8\. Kintsugi 9\.

They released their 5th self titled album in November 2024, which was one of the favorites of the year. On their first North American headlining tour, they came our rockin' with Epitaph and had the crowd going crazy. Sean, with his growls, and Alex, with her beautiful clean singing, really complement the band and it works really well together. From start to finish, **Make Them Suffer** had the audience in the palm of their hands. Whether it was their amazing stage presence, energy, or sound, they made it clear why they are heading **North America**. **Make Them Suffer** Setlist: 1\. Epitaph 2\. Bones 3\. Uncharted 4\. Ether 5\. Mana God 6\. Ghost of Me 7\. Oscillator 8\. Weaponized 9\. Blood Moon 10\. Hollowed Heart 11\. Soul Decay 12\. Erase Me 13\. Doomswith ***Band Members:*** **Sean Harmanis** on Vocals **Nick McLernon** on Lead Guitar **Jaya Jeffery** on Bass **Jordon Mather** on Drums **Alex Reade** on Keyboards and Vocals What a great night to be a fan of metalcore: 4 great bands and they did not disappoint. Get out and support live music in your city, and make sure you buy some merch to support the band. And always Listen to Metal!
