Winterfylleth announce headline London show

Winterfylleth Black heart london 2015

Having only just played London supporting the mighty Primordial, Winterfylleth have announced a headline show in the capital but this one's a bit special. Taking place at The Black Heart in Camden, the venue is tiny, i'd estimate 140(?) people max . Not only is the venue tiny they've got The King Is Blind supporting and tickets are a mere £8.25. If you're not familiar with this UK act of Monolithic Metal then check them out below. If you want to go i'd get on this one fast as it'll sell out fast. Winterfylleth are coming off a cracking year in 2014 having released the sublime "The Divination of Antiquity" so it's questionable just how much longer you'll have chance to see them in such an intimate setting.

Get your tickets here.
