Berlin's Necros Christos head to London for an exclusive UK date this Saturday June 14th 2014 at The Dome in Tufnell Park (Tickets available here). Rumours are currently abound that Necros Christos are breaking up after the release of their next album "Domedon Doxomedon" so there is a very good chance this will be their last ever UK date as these guys don't mess around. Having witnessed them myself at Killtown Festival in 2012 I can verify they slay on all levels live and this is going to be a gig you will...

Chatting to a friend today and I was surprised he wasn't familiar with the support bands on the incoming Death/Black metal assault that is about to hit the capital this Saturday as it's probably the strongest full line up of any gig this year. I thought to myself if he isn't familiar with the supports, then how many others are not familiar with them? So without further ado here's some info and music from all the bands playing this KILLER show hitting London this Saturday. See you in the pit \m/
First band up is Zom. Formed in Ireland in...
A while back we announced that Stockholm based Katatonia would be heading over to our shores in May to play 2 nights as part of their "Unplugged and Reworked" tour.

The festival which started last year takes place at Fernhill Farm in Bristol. Whilst the festival classes itself as the "UK’s only festival dedicated to the very best music from the worlds of math-rock, post-rock and noise rock", last year saw the likes of Winterfylleth, Dragged Into Sunlight, and Bossk amongst...
Oh no Red Fang has sold out on Friday. Well boo hoo - you snooze you lose, but fear not as Beehoover are playing in London on Friday to kick off their UK tour and let me assure you they RULE! The 2 piece from Esslingen in Germany haven't played our shores many times, the last time I think was 2011 with Sons Of Otis (but don't quote me on that!) and they seem to be one of those bands that if people haven't heard of them they check them out and love 'em.
As a band they're...
This coming Thursday sees a very special line up coming to London presented by Isengard Promotions with 2 UK live debuts from some finest of the current black metal underground. With a headliner who do very little promotion themselves we thought it best to introduce you to the 4 bands playing just in case you weren't familiar.
Mgla (Polish for Fog) started way back in 2000 based in Krakow, the second largest of Poland's major cities and one of it's oldest dating back to the 7th Century. Formed by M. he is currently joined by...
