Express Live! was teeming with metalheads ready to rev-up the mosh pit on a rainy Thursday night. It was a stacked line-up of 5 bands with industrial metal band Static-X as headliner.

Static-X’s new lead, rumored to be Edsel Dope (not officially confirmed), wore a Wayne Static mask as a tribute to the late frontman. Wayne’s image was also projected on a backdrop prior to the band taking the stage. Once Static-X began playing, the crowdsurfing and mosh pit intensified and the packed venue went crazy!

Also on the bill was Cleveland Ohio’s  Mushroomhead who put on a spectacular visual feast that accented their aggressive rock and metal set.
