FROM THE PIT

SIGNS OF THE SWARM // BROOKLYN PARAMOUNT // 05.21.26 @palefaceswiss unleashed pure fury, and the crowd gave it right back. I often call out crowd surfing in my reviews, but it’s not hyperbole to say this was one of the wildest displays of nonstop crowd surfing I’ve ever seen during a set. @lornashore’s raw energy, combined with the towering visuals of their stage production, elevated the intensity and emotional weight of songs that already pack a hell of a punch. It was every bit as epic as it was heavy. NYC’s own @immolation_band kicked off the evening in front of an energetic hometown crowd packed with friends and family, showcasing their new album Descent alongside a handful of tried and true classics. Transfixed from the first song to the last, I was blown away by @rottingchristofficial. Their riffs were as soaring and epic as they were relentlessly ruthless. A standout set of the evening. Deicide brought us into the home stretch with their legendary bellowing brutality. Favoring the classics, the band treated fans to a career-spanning setlist with particular focus on their self-titled debut, as well as follow-ups Legion and Once Upon the Cross. The pit had been active all night, but Deicide turned it up a few notches as crowd surfers rode the tide in increasing numbers.
