Wage War - It Calls Me By Name Tour
About This Event
Wage War’s It Calls Me By Name Tour stops at Irving Plaza with a bill that includes Nevertel and Orthodox. Nevertel balances polished melodies with heavier rhythmic drive, structuring sets around tight transitions from hook-forward passages to denser breakdowns and a focus on dynamics and vocal presence. Orthodox blends contemporary rock/pop language with prayer texts and traditional melodies, favoring direct songwriting and communal singalong structures that give the set a devotional spine.
About It Calls Me By Name Tour
The “It Calls Me By Name Tour” arrives at Irving Plaza as a rock/pop bill built for close quarters and loud rooms. Wage War anchors the night with a modern metalcore vocabulary, while Nevertel and Orthodox widen the palette toward electronic rock and heavier, more abrasive textures. It reads as part of New York’s long-running tradition of using mid-size venues to test how new hybrid rock styles land in real time. The most telling detail is the sequencing: contrast becomes the method, not just the byproduct.
