This month, Chaos Theory brings you calamitous doom in all of its ugly forms from three unique bands. ﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗ Dead Existence Fans of the riff have been loving this bandﾒs perfect blend of doom, black metal, sludge and hardcore ever since their selftitled debut in 2007. Since then, theyﾒve shared the stage with brutes like Conan, Eyehategod, Yob, Bast, Brutal Truth, The Secret and Tombs and Weedeater, and will flatten everything in their path. ﾓThe misery and despair conveyed within each riff feels genuinely heart wrenching.ﾔ ﾖ Terrorizer ﾓA safe place for those phobic of ballads, tambourines or a sense of wellbeing.ﾔ ﾖ The Sleeping Shaman ﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗ Undersmile Creeping through Europeﾒs underground metal scene, these doomtroopers will cause backs to break and heads to loll, paralysed under the weight of their heavy dirge. At this gig theyﾒll be playing brand new material from their upcoming album ﾑAnhedoniaﾒ for the first time in the UK, just after playing it at Roadburn Festival. ﾓSo vivid that one canﾒt fight being affected by hearing.ﾔ ﾖ The Obelisk ﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗ Space Witch A phenomenal band from StokeonTrent, combining chugging riffs with electronics to create mesmeric halfhour experiences that still feel too short. We just saw them perform an amazing set headlining Sonic Mass in Edinburgh, and can not wait to be absorbed into their cosmic consciousness again. ﾓA highly intelligent outlook on all things metal.ﾔ ﾖ The Sludgelord ﾓPsychedelic and evilﾔ ﾖ Echoes And Dust
