On Tuesday night, The Temporary High Tour Pt. II tore through Johnson City, Tennessee, shaking Capone’s to its core with a lineup featuring Dead Eyes, Of Virtue, Nerv, and Archers. The night overflowed with emotion and aggression, but it was Of Virtue who transformed the stage into something unforgettable. They provided a cathartic experience that blurred the line between chaos and confession.
Dead Eyes kicked off the evening with punchy hooks and feral energy, rallying the crowd early and setting the tone for what would become an unrelenting night.
Then came Of Virtue, stepping into the spotlight like a storm ready to break. They opened with “Omen,” a brooding, tension-building intro that immediately seized the room, before crashing straight into “Hypocrite” and “Cold Blooded.” Each hit landed with precision, the crowd shouting every word back as the pit exploded into motion. The band’s chemistry was fierce, their energy contagious, and every downbeat hit like a pulse through the floorboards.
Midway through the set, frontman Tyler Ennis took a quiet moment to address the crowd. With raw honesty, he spoke about his journey through sobriety, thanking fans for their unwavering support and connection. Then, with the lights dimmed and every eye locked forward, the band launched into “Sober.” The air in Capone’s grew heavy — every lyric landing like a confession, every note soaked in emotion. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a moment of unity and vulnerability that few shows ever reach.
The emotional tide broke with the debut of “Goliath,” an unreleased track that pulsed with urgency and defiance, giving fans a taste of what’s next in Of Virtue’s evolution. From there, the energy only climbed higher. “Sinner” drove the pit into a frenzy, “Cannibals” reignited the chaos, and the night came to a searing close with “Cut Me Open,” a fan-favorite anthem that left the crowd screaming for more.
Following acts Nerv and Archers kept the energy roaring into the night, but the echo of Of Virtue’s set lingered — a mix of intensity, gratitude, and power that stuck with every fan long after the lights came up. On The Temporary High Tour Pt. II, Of Virtue proved once again that heavy music can be both punishing and profoundly human. Their set at Capone’s wasn’t just loud — it was life-affirming.
