Seattle alt-metal/metalcore force AVOID stormed the stage at The Roxy at Mahall’s, Lakewood, OH on December 10, 2025, delivering a full live set that captured the ferocity and precision of their live performance. Filmed, mixed, and shared by Leo Sypniewski — renowned for his vast catalog of live full sets on YouTube — the session presents AVOID in top form, offering fans a visceral experience of the band’s dynamic intensity and onstage chemistry.
