Photo Gallery: Devin Townsend @ The Mod Club, Toronto ON, Nov. 3, 2010

Nevermore / Warbringer / Blackguard @ The Opera House, October 22 2010

Unexpect / Stream of Passion / Manahil / Modified / Half Past Four @ Sneaky Dee’s, October 19 2010
“Nearly impossible to describe, they hit me like a crazy gothic metal version of cabaret/gypsy music, which a great deal of dark, psychotic carnival thrown in the mix as well. The violin took centre stage for me, running the gamut from classical trills and traditional Roma fiddling to dark, screeching black-metal wailing.” Natalie Zed witnessed…

Helmet / Intronaut @ Lee’s Palace, Toronto ON, Oct 17, 2010
“I wondered though, if anyone else was visibly shocked when (Page) Hamilton entered the stage. He was not only thin, he was gaunt. If it wasn’t for his deft guitar playing and strong, clear and commanding voice, I would have expected him to crumple onto the floor at any second.” Laina Dawes caught up with…
