Last night (May 10), alternative metal\/post-grunge troupe Crossfade<\/a> \u2013 who recently reunited following their decade-long break \u2013 played their first show since 2012 at this year\u2019s s\u00a0Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival<\/a>. For many concertgoers, it was a major highlight of the entire weekend thus far.<\/p>\n Per the official Sonic Temple website<\/a>, Crossfade played a 45-minute set on the Citadel Stage (between Trust Company<\/a> and Grandson<\/a>\u2019s stints, and around the time Jimmy Eat World<\/a>, Bullet For My Valentine<\/a>, The Devil Wears Prada<\/a>, Silverstein<\/a> and I Prevail<\/a> performed elsewhere).<\/p>\n According to setlilst.fm, it was their first live show since their set in Charlotte, North Carolina on July 1, 2012<\/a>. Unsurprisingly, they played tunes from all three of their studio LPs<\/a>, including \u201cStarless\u201d and \u201cCold\u201d from 2004\u2019s Crossfade<\/em>; \u201cAlready Gone\u201d from 2006\u2019s Falling Away<\/em>; and \u201cProve You Wrong<\/a>\u201d and \u201cKilling Me Inside\u201d from 2011\u2019s We All Bleed<\/em>.<\/p>\n As far as we know, the lineup consisted of founding vocalist\/guitarist Ed Sloan, bassist\/backing vocalist Mitch James, multi-instrumentalist Les Hall and drummer Ryan Bennett.<\/p>\n Immediately after their show, Crossfade posted the following message on Facebook:<\/p>\n Massive shout out to Danny Wimmer, Joe Guzik, all the crew and security at Sonic Temple for an amazing experience from the second we arrived in Columbus, Ohio\u2026 you brought it!! Most importantly, thanks to our crew- Rodney, Chuck, and Brett for always going above and beyond for the band. BTW\u2026. They have been on this journey with us since 2004! Also, we sold out of our entire merch inventory 3 hours before we even hit the stage. What a cathartic day!! Next is Daytona -Welcome to Rockville<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Naturally, their performance was met with overwhelming positivity from spectators, social media followers and the like.<\/p>\n For instance, one Facebook user replied to that post: \u201cOne if not the best set of the weekend.\u201d Similarly, someone else wrote: \u201cBeen a fan since around 2006 or so, finally got to see y\u2019all live today. I was on the barricade screaming lyrics, y\u2019all probably saw me lol. Thanks for coming back and playing shows for us. I\u2019ll remember this show for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n You can view Crossfade\u2019s entire setlist \u2013 and see videos and photos from their show \u2013 below.

Along the way, they had numerous lineup changes, and they achieved mainstream success with \u201cCold\u201d (which was the lead single from their self-titled 2004 debut LP).<\/p>\n Over the next few years, they put out two follow-ups (the aforementioned Falling Away<\/em> and We All Bleed<\/em>) amidst shifting band members some more. The latter record garnered immensely positive reviews, yet neither matched the commercial success of Crossfade<\/em>. Consequently, the group quietly became inactive and each member focused on other things. (For instance, drummer Mark Castillo joined metalcore outfit Emmure<\/a> and Sloan worked on solo material).<\/p>\n Last October, however, Crossfade announced their reunion<\/a> (at least in terms of live shows), with their now-completed Sonic Temple show being followed by appearances at Welcome to Rockville<\/a> and\u00a0Inkcarceration<\/a>.<\/p>\n Welcome to Rockville will take place between May 15 and 18 at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. You\u00a0can check out the full lineup<\/a> and purchase tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Likewise, Inkcarceration\u00a0which will take place between July 18 and 20 at the Ohio State Reformatory. You can view the complete lineup here<\/a>\u00a0and buy passes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Everything old is new again, as some of your favorite bands are finally giving it another go in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Chad Childers, Loudwire<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Crossfade Played<\/strong><\/h3>\n
