Last night, during Excision‘s inaugural Lost Lands Music Festival at Thornville, OH’s Legend Valley, the party got a little hotter than anticipated. During Destroid‘s Saturday night performance, a piece of the elaborate stage set–ironically shaped like a volcano–lit on fire, causing the stage to shut down temporarily. According to attendees at Lost Lands, the volcano caught fire during the dub-step trio’s set, bringing the scheduled music to a half at the festival’s Paradox main stage. Several festival-goers caught footage of the volcano set going up in flames:
The fire was quickly extinguished and the stage has since been reopened for the remainder of its scheduled performances. According to YourEDM, Excision posted a statement in the official Headbangers Facebook group:
“Headbangers! Destroid was lit!
We were temporarily shut down due to a small fire at the top of the volcano. On hand fire personnel quickly had it under control and the fire was immediately extinguished. After approval from the fire marshal and the sheriff, we’ve started back up again and Zeds Dead is on stage killing it right now! Thanks everyone for your concern, Lost Lands goes on!”
