The Convalescence had a ‘Feast of Flesh’ at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Sunday March 2nd, 2025! Who doesn’t love a little deathcore on a Sunday?! 

First up for dishing out a little death and destruction for the evening was the horror metal band Discard the Body, hailing from Muncie, Indiana. Their grueling sounds got the crowd warmed up and ready to bang their heads!

Next to hit the stage was a young band from right here in Fort Wayne, the hardcore outfit Nailed Casket! It is always great to see the younger generation involved in the music scene. I hope to see more from these guys!

Mantra of Morta hailing from East Central Indiana, always brings the energy along with their loyal fans! Vocalist Jessie Cochran brings an enchanting aggressiveness to the stage along with her powerful vocals. They are a hard-hitting band that I have had the pleasure of seeing live twice now! 

And closing out the night at this ‘House of Suffering’ (aka, Piere’s), the mighty The Convalescence! The band was formed in Toledo, OH in 2011, they have really got to see a lot of the country and world in their 14 years in the scene. I saw them live one other time in 2023, and I was definitely drawn to their powerful stage presence and tonight was my opportunity to capture the experience! The way they interact and connect with their fans is cool to see and speaks to the popularity they have here in the Midwest. The star of the show though was Timmy, the dismembered body (fake of course) who is a menace on the tour bus and his body parts get tossed to the fans at the end of show! I really love their intensity and their breakdowns, of course! I look forward to catching these guys again. If you get the chance to catch one of their shows, it will be worth your time!
