Show Review
With Nashville marking just the fourth stop of the Sigma Tour, the excitement in the air felt as fresh as opening night. Wage War hit the road on September 26th, joined by supporting acts Fame on Fire, Thrown, and ERRA, for a tour that promised heavy energy and powerful performances.
Concertgoers eagerly lined up, awaiting the doors to open at 5:30. As soon as Fame on Fire hit the stage, the venue exploded with energy. Their metal-driven set, filled with high-octane hits, got the crowd moving and set the tone for the night.
Next up, Thrown stepped into a dimly lit, blue-hazed room and delivered a powerhouse set. Mosh pits erupted, but in a heartwarming moment, the crowd made space for a "kid-friendly pit," allowing a 10-year-old metalhead to safely mosh to their track "Parasite."
At 8:00 PM sharp, ERRA took the stage, kicking things off with the title track from their newly released album, Cure. Their atmospheric set, filled with fresh material, amped up the crowd, who by now were primed for the headliners.
Wage War, fresh off the release of Sigma in June—marking their fifth studio album—brought the night to a peak. The lights dimmed, and as the first notes of their opening track, “The Show’s About to Start,” played, frontman Briton Bond raised his hands and confetti cannons erupted, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Blasting through new hits while still delivering fan-favorites like “Stitch” and “The River,” the band kept the energy sky-high.
As the show ended, the crowd begged for more, and Wage War returned for a two-song encore, leaving fans buzzing with adrenaline. For those who haven’t seen them yet, Wage War will be on tour until November 3rd—don’t miss out!
