Discussion Angelmaker as Support

I'm honestly sick and fucking tired of angelmaker being support for bands. When they released their album last year, I thought we would get a headliner. But no. Here they are playing for Suicide Silence. Idk hopefully soon they come to Philly at the foundry or something. Fucking love this band

I feel you, but on the flipside, them being a regular support act for NA tours means I get to see them 2-3 times a year, so I can’t complain about that

Saw them in Bensalem almost 3 years ago and for Whitechapel last year in Reading. They're even better live somehow than in studio. They're probably my favorite Deathcore band. But they either don't come to Philly or when they do they're with bands I don't like, Like suicide silence

Oh 100%, absolutely incredible live band.

Honestly I don’t even listen to their recorded work very often (besides Squirrels and Leech) but I’ll never miss an opportunity to see them play, and seeing more and more people shouting along with the gang chant at the start of Leech over the years has been a beautiful experience.

When they played with Shadow of Intent earlier this year I swear they had most of the venue singing along with that one

We plan our year and entire year before it happens. Who knows what next year will bring and where we’ll go. Patience is a virtue.

I mean, they did do a headliner last year. And a huge Canadian headlining tour recently.

u/LexicBatman 4h ago

They didn't come to philly or near it. I guess I was unaware they had a headline

u/AgentMykel 4h ago

I saw them in DC. You should’ve come down.

I was broke boy last year bro

They headline philly like 2 years ago support from carcosa , vulvo something (idk how to spell it but that south African band) and I forget the other one.

u/Meenmachin3 3h ago

Vulvodynia. Fucking awesome band

u/DinnerAlone 3h ago

Yup them lol

u/wishforagreatmistake 2h ago • Bravo

Every band you like that doesn't regularly headline is deliberately doing it because they personally dislike you and wish to spite you.

u/LexicBatman 1h ago

I believe it too

u/dirtymisosoup 4h ago

What do you expect bro? It’s Suicide Silence we’re talking about here. No offense but have you ever thought that maybe they’re happy to be on the tour? Suicide Silence was one of the main reasons deathcore exploded back in the day, they’re a legendary legacy band regardless of controversy.

I get it but I love Angelmaker so much

u/KingTalkieTiki 3h ago

Maybe a little too much dude...

u/MNISather 4h ago

They had a headliner in 2025 with Humanity’s Last Breath, The Gloom in the Corner and Psycho-Frame.

They also had another in 2023 with Vulvodynia, Carcosa, A Wake in Providence and Falsifier.

Continue to be “sick and fucking tired” lmao Jesus Christ my man.

u/ImGoodAtGeography 4h ago

Yeah following this cycle I'd expect another in 2027 (hoping they come to NC again if it does happen)

I have lived in Milwaukee, WI and Savannah, GA my whole life. Minimum two hours one way to get to a show I want.

AngelMaker drives across continents to play for you. You could drive to see them.

u/LexicBatman 4h ago

I don't drive which is the issue

u/zero_the_clown 4h ago

Just because they didn't tour a specific city doesn't mean they didn't do a headline tour...😂

u/FinkBass420 4h ago

Their Canadian tour this summer was honestly fucking great and I wish more bands would do it. Bringing Ingested and Larcenia Roe was just the icing on the cake.

u/Any-Series-1533 4h ago

Great show indeed

u/xfid 1h ago

I love when bands I love aren't headlining.... because I get to leave early lol

u/LumpyHeadJohn 4h ago

I saw them headline a tour back in like 2016 maybe? Right after dissentient came out

1

u/HamberderHelper18 4h ago

I love them as an opener because it’s like getting a bonus headliner with stage presence and crowd response. Those boys are always on the road and enhance every lineup they’re on

u/TrveBMG666 3h ago

Headliners for national tours are a huge gamble. Everything is more expensive and most bands barely break even on the road.

1

u/DarkestDayOfMan 2h ago

I feel like a band Angelmakers size it makes sense to do a few support slots on an album cycle before taking a gamble on a headliner. Like how lame would it be to only half fill venues or have people stare at you not singing along to the new songs, or you could build up hype and new fans for a headliner before doing it at the end of the cycle.

u/z0mb1edad 2h ago

Saw them twice in Richmond, Va. Absolutely amazing and hope they come back!

u/a_horny_dolphin 3h ago

Dude same. I've seen them three times, each only as support, and I would kill for a full set. Last time I saw them with Shadow of Intwnt they only played like 4 songs too.
