Among the biggest highlights on the night came in the form of metal royalty joining the festivities. Towards the latter half of the set, NAILS welcomed a special guest onstage with Max Cavalera taking over the center stage microphone. 

Along with NAILS, Cavalera joined for a pair of tracks, performing their 2019 collaboration with the heavy headbanger, "Endless Resistance". Not quite done, the union lasted one more track as NAILS and Cavalera blessed the fans with a 1993 classic from Chaos A.D., hammering out an explosive rendition of "Territory" that sent the theater into - Chaos. 

197 Media was on hand to capture the entire set. Check the complete show below. Watch NAILS and special guest Max Cavalera perform "Territory at about the 44:50 mark.
