Ov Sulfur
Milwaukee Metal Fest – 5/16/25

From the moment Ov Sulfur stepped on stage, it was clear we were in for something monstrous. The crowd turned into chaos instantaneously. Within thirty seconds, the pit looked like a medieval battle reenactment scored by blast beats and brimstone.
Ov Sulfur ripped into their set with such precision and fury that it felt like the walls were bleeding. Bodies flew, heads banged, and somewhere between the riffs and rage, you could feel the air get heavier, like the gates below were opening just a crack.
Ricky Hoover’s gutturals were seismic – less vocals, more otherworldly incantations. The atmosphere was pure ritual: swirling smoke, blinding strobes, and blackened melodies that wrapped around you like a serpent.
Ov Sulfur live is more than a concert. It’s a dark sermon, a violent catharsis, a metal exorcism that leaves you breathless, broken, and begging for more. Ov Sulfur didn’t just play a show…they summoned a storm from the depths of hell, and every soul inside The Rave willingly walked into the fire.
