Set It Off’s highly anticipated “The Deathless Tour: Part Two” brought the energy to Sharkey’s Event Center in Liverpool, NY, on Friday night.

Fans, shoulder-to-shoulder, raised their hands high in the air and cheered as Set It Off took the stage. Some even waved homemade signs to show their loyalty to the band. 

Set It Off gave fans exactly what they wanted with a 15-song set, including their popular hits “Parasite,” “Punching Bag” and “Win Win,” which lead singer Cody Carson sang from the middle of the pit.

If Not For Me vocalist Patrick Glover performs “Demons.”

From Ashes to New, a local favorite, received the same energy as they performed radio hits “Through It All” and “Panic,” along with songs off their latest album, Blackout. Less than a year ago, FATN had a nearly sold-out crowd when their “Blackout” tour passed through Sharkey’s.

Female-fronted rock band New Years Day and Pennsylvania metalcore band If Not For Me opened the show with plenty of screams and heavy guitar riffs.
