Live Review By Annette Holloway
Day 3, featuring I Prevail, Skillet, Motionless in White, and Ice Nine Kills, rocked Virginia International Raceway on September 10. The pouring rain may have stopped photographers from covering some of the bands gracing the multi-stage event, but it didn’t faze the massive crowd ready to rock.
Ice Nine Kills (INK) brought the wet masses shock and awe when they invaded the stage with chainsaws, bloody knives, axes, and severed body parts. Continuing the reign of terror was gothic metalcore band Motionless in White, with hard-hitting performances and an incredible pyro display.
Naturally, Skillet unleashed their 5x platinum hit, “Monster,” on the Monster Energy stage with one of the best performances of the night. Frontman John Cooper brought the fury with cryo guns blazing during “Surviving the Game.” On the ZVN stage, I Prevail delivered their own hard-hitting, versatile set with the unique combination of vocals by Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe, and an incredible production.
Stay tuned for photos from Day 4!
