On November 30, 2022 fans packed the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee to see the Trinity of Terror Tour Part III. This stacked lineup includes iconic bands Atreyu, Ice Nine Kills, Black Veil Brides, and Motionless in White that were all set to provide fans with ultimate experience.

Atreyu has released eight studio albums, the most recent in 2021 titled Baptize, which was featured several times during the night. Although the fans were slowly piling in by the time their set began, the ones who got there early really seemed to enjoy the show. Vocalist, Brandon Saller, walked into the crowd singing hit “The Time Is Now,” but not before stopping to get himself a drink at the bar. Once Saller returned to the stage he said “Thank you to the bartender who poured my drink, I love you.” Atreyu played a total of twelve songs including “Save Us,” “Baptize,” a quick sample of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” before closing out the night with song “Blow.”

INK has produced six albums, the most recent released in 2021 titled The Silver Scream 2:Welcome to Horrorwood. Fans were anxiously awaiting the arrival of INK, and began packing the venue, once the projector displayed a theater like warning fans began cheering. As the opening for “Funeral Derangements” began vocalist, Spencer Charnas, came out wielding a shovel, and the crowd went wild. Dressed dapper in suits this five piece band sets out to provide fans with a horror experience of a lifetime.
