FME Weekend closes with a (head) bang

By Sunday, the town was glowing in that peculiar FME afterlight—part exhaustion, part euphoria, part disbelief that four days of sonic sorcery could already be wrapping up. Yet the festival had one more transformation left in it, shifting from family picnics to electro-hauntings to deathcore detonations.

Digital Ghosts FIRST SHOW

Digital Ghosts, playing their first ever show, faced nerves but won over a half-packed room with courage and promise.

Despised Icon finish off the weekend

The night closed with a baptism in riffs.

Québec’s own deathcore pioneers, and the energy detonated. Watching them was like witnessing the genre’s Big Bang: brutal death metal vocals colliding with metalcore breakdowns until walls of death split the crowd and pits churned in wordless communion. It was primal and precise, groovy and catastrophic—the kind of set that reminds you why metal feels like family.

Done for another year, see you in 2026!

As the amps cooled and the streets emptied, the spell of FME lingered. Four nights in Rouyn-Noranda had revealed a secret: music here isn’t just performed, it’s lived, communally, like a pulse running through the town itself. Until next year, the portal closes—but we all carry a little of its magic home.
