Co-headlining Chaos & Carnage 2022 this year by Suicide Silence and Carnifex.

Arguably the two biggest and most tenured acts in the game.

Even nearing the end of the show, these bands brought intense and heavy energy.

Majority of the shows on this tour were sold out and Albuquerque's El Rey Theater was no exception.

With a line wrapped around the venue even at 4pm on a Tuesday, fans were ready for the brutality this tour was bringing.

Having Lorna Shore as direct support was an absolute no brainer.

As the band is gaining extreme traction in commercial media and proving that they're undoubtedly just getting heavier.

Once Lorna Shore prepped for the stage, the crowd lost their minds.

Bands like Signs of the Swarm and AngelMaker seem to always have a home in Albuquerque, NM.

It may be a couple years between visits, but one thing I've always noticed is when these two bands play this city: The crowd is more than ready.

Starting off the night for the tour package: A band called "Distant"

Anyone in metal knows pits can be hit or miss, quite literally speaking.

Although not even 10 minutes into their set, venue security saw someone already hurt.

To each their own but that tends to show how the rest of the night will be.

Thus, starting off the night extremely gritty.
