IGORRR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2026

Published

It’s another crowd-packed night at the Roxian as Igorrr takes over the Burgh with The North AMENican Tour. This experimental music act has been making waves across the world as they have been expanding into more areas, and they are here to tackle North America. Igorrr, the brainchild of Gautier Serre, takes elements from black metal, EDM, and baroque music and melds these genres in experimental soundscapes. Also taking the stage in support of Igorr are Secret Chiefs 3 and VOM – Violent Magic Orchestra.

The first act was Violent Magic Orchestra (VOM). Violent Magic Orchestra members hail from France and Japan. VOM’s music is a blend of EDM, techno, noise metal and black metal. From the moment things kicked off, I knew tonight was going to be interesting. VOM turned the Roxian Theatre into a black metal rave; members of the band would jump the barricade into the crowd and encourage crowd members to dance and clap. Strobe lights and heavy trip-hop beats kept the bodies moving as the vocalists growled and screamed. The band was high energy and a lot of fun to watch, along with the video screen in the background.

The next act was Secret Chiefs 3, an experimental rock band founded by Faith No More guitarist Trey Spruance. The band incorporates Middle Eastern, rock, and fusion to create music that is intertwined in mysticism and the occult. Odd time signatures paired with exotic scales and microtonal guitars; this is the thinking musician’s band. The set felt like a big jam session amongst friends, riffs drifting off and coming in. The rock instrumentals kept the crowd bobbing as the band played on.

Igorrr was up next with the stage barely lit; Gautier started the track to “Daemoni”. Hidden in the darkness, dressed in black and adorned in gold accents, vocalist JB began the almost tribal vocals to kick in the track. Onstage joining on vocals was Gerda Iguchi, a German-Japanese opera singer who joined the band in April, after vocalist Marthe Alexandre stepped away from the band. The crowd came to life as soon as the guitars kicked in, jumping and bouncing in the pit to the music. Igorrr audibly had everyone in the venue moving while visually entertaining with lights and their onstage performances. The band played through familiar singles such as “Headbutt”, “ieuD”, and “Viande”, among many others, before wrapping with “Opus Brain”.

If you are looking for a fun tour that veers from what is traditional music, The Igorr North American Tour should be considered. From a rave party to a zone-out session to a full-out audio assault, there is also a lot of fun involved with this tour. If you are looking to experience music that breaks social norms, this is the place to be.

I haven’t seen Rasputina in many years, I’ve always been a big fan of them and love the combination of gothic , industrial metal mixed in with cellos and such an cool and eerie sound. Rasputina even opened up the set with my favorite song “Transylvanian Concubine” which is usually towards the end of the set.

I loved they played a cool cover of “Wish you were here” by Pink Floyd . It was amazing to see and hear Melora’s voice and Polly Panic on cello with her and Ryder Cooley on drums who also opened up the show with her band Dust Bowl Fairies. The show was amazing the venue was packed which it’s been a while since I’ve seen Ottobar sold out . A lot of the fans were dressed up which just made for a cool night. I really hope that Rasputina come back again soon and not make us wait so long to see them again.

Cradle of Filth Majestic in Death II Baltimore Review

Cradle of filth are on tour now celebrating the 30TH anniversary of Dusk and her Embrace album bringing with them BlackBraid, Worm and Black Satellite.

I ended up missing Black Satellite and some of Worm, but with 3 smoke machines you couldn’t barely see any of worm at all on stage within the fog. I’ve been wanting to see BlackBraid for a while I love that they combine black metal music and Native American themes and lyrics. The band looked and sounded amazing.

I was super excited for cradle to come on stage it’s been a while since I’ve heard some of the songs off of Dusk and her Embrace and have been listening to them for over 30 years. It was great to watch Dani do what he does , I love his vocal range and his on stage performances. It was great seeing some of the new musicians within the band and the crowd was pumped to hear some of their favorite songs. Cradle started off the set playing a few songs of the latest album The Screaming of the Valkyries. They also threw in some classics like Nymphetamine and Guilded Cunt.

Wed13 is on tour now with Above Snakes and they bring the Halloween spirit and a good time.

This was my first time getting to see Above Snakes and they put on a good show, they get the crowd pumped and ready for the show and adding a lil cover mix of popular 90s songs deff got the crowd even more into it. The lead singer kinda reminds me a lil of Edsel from Dope but with a little bit of his own personal flavor. The band deff has a great sound and got the crowd pumped up.

Wednesday 13 brought the spooky stage set with him with pumpkins and all kinds of spooky stuff. I love when it’s a headliner show cause you know you’re gonna get much more than an opening short set. I love that they played “Ghost of Vincent Price” right into “Something wicked, this way comes”.

We also got to hear the classics and some murderdolls songs as well. Wednesday brought back the backwards mask of himself and the headless version of him, and he threw out candy this time from a bucket not from the nether regions.

It was great to see the full band, and hanging out with my good buddy Ashes and his new stage grill he wearing. Such a great show as always and a great time getting to see Wednesday 13 play but see him during the spooky season just makes it better.
