AngelMaker‘s set last night (February 14th) at Preserving Underground in New Kensington, PA was cut short after the PA at the venue caught fire mid-performance. The incident forced headliner Veil Of Maya to forego their set as well. Venue staff quickly extinguished the blaze, with no injuries reported. Footage of the fire has since made its way online and can be seen below.
Veil Of Maya commented on the incident:
