The 'Trinity of Terror Tour Part III' concludes in Los Angeles, CA

Part III of The Trinity of Terror Tour stopped in Los Angeles last week for one last date. The iconic lineup included Atreyu, Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills and Motionless In White. The tour marks the third leg which originally started back in March. With added support from Atreyu, the show was one of the most high-octane spectacles of the year. Atreyu played a mostly modern setlist with a few throwback tracks. Vocalist Brandon Saller treated fans to an intimate performance when he ran down from the stage to the mid-level seating area. The band still exudes the same great energy dating back to 2002.

Black Veil Brides brought the glam, glory and guitar solos to a powerhouse performance that included a balanced set of both oldschool and recent music. Led by Andy Biersack, the band commanded the stage with their heavy riffs and phenomenal solos. The crowd was full of diehard fans who absolutely exploded during the throwback song “Knives and Pens.” The chemistry of Black Veil Brides is undeniably something special — we adored the dual guitar solos played effortlessly by Jinxx and Lonny while standing back to back, soaking up the immense energy from the audience. `

The tour wouldn’t have been terror-ridden without Ice Nine Kills. Complete with cinematic mini-skits and assault props, the show was nothing short of killer. Their performance was visually eerie and alluring as each song mirrored various horror movies. The setlist mostly consisted of tracks from their latest album, Welcome To Horrorwood. Fans were lucky enough to get a rare song replacement with Ice Nine’s holiday hit, “Merry Axe-Mas,” appropriately timed. Frontman Spencer Charnas exuded both ominosity and delirium with song-by-song transformations from one fictional portrayal to the next. He closed out the set by hopping into the crowd to get up close and personal with their fans — fittingly named psychos.

Motionless In White wrapped up the night with their ten song set — half from their latest record, Scoring The End Of The World. Though vocalist Chris Cerulli had recently canceled the prior show due to illness, he was back at it and did not miss a beat. The audience was treated to a series of impressive visual effects, including a mini “pyro” show. Two on-stage models held circular saws to metal blocks, creating waves of illuminated sparks on each side of the stage. There was plenty of headbanging to go around as the crowd screamed along to every song. The entire night felt like a whirlwind of thunderous, good ol’ fashioned metalcore — every band on the bill left us feeling mesmerized and sky high.
