With a mind blowing riff on Stranded they finished a show stealing set with Vacuity, bringing their set to a close far too soon. ![]() With Joe Duplantier’s throaty harsh vocals, his and Christian Andreu’s chugging guitars, Jean-Michel Labadie flying around with his bass and of course, the insanity that is Mario Duplantier on drums, this is a band who will be headlining very soon.
