Suffocation made their way to Joliet on their Death Chopping North America tour. This tour marks vocalist Frank Mullen’s last tour with the band, and fans piled into The Forge to see him perform with Suffocation one last time. The crowd filled the venue from wall to wall as the band played classics such as “Pierced from Within,” “Liege of Inveracity,” and “Catatonia.” Brutal riffs combined with technicality and deep, guttural vocals reminded fans why Suffocation is widely considered one of the most influential and innovative death metal bands. Frank gave a truly memorable performance on his last tour, leaving fans with a show that they will remember for years to come.

The long awaited Paradise Lost North American tour is particularly important because the British iconic band is celebrating the 30th year anniversary. It’s been six years since Paradise Lost toured here and all the faithful fans loved the chosen setlist for the show at House Of Blues in Chicago, which revisited the band’s career and included the timeless classics “Gothic” and “As I Die”, “Pity The Sadness” and “Enchanted” from the acclaimed album “Draconian Times”, as well as the new songs “The Longest Winter”, “Blood And Chaos” and the title track from the latest crushing release “Medusa”!
