Chaos Theory presents a mindcrusher this month, with stoner, psychedelic, progressive and postrock, sludge and metal from three bands converging at The Facemelter from around England. Boss Keloid This band from Wigan are dragging sludge metal into new mindbending, psychedelic and progressive territory. Metal Hammer tipped Boss Keloid as one of the bands to watch in 2016, and recently featured them as their ﾑHot New Bandﾒ, proclaiming ﾓUp and coming purveyors of progressive heaviness, Boss Keloid have been tipped by many as among 2016ﾒs darkest hopes. And itﾒs no wonder, given how adept they are at producing such unique and eclectically thunderous music.ﾔ Their recent new album ﾑHerb Your Enthusiasmﾒ was released April 2016 on Black Bow Records (Bast, Undersmile, Conan, Slomatics), and has received huge critical acclaim worldwide from the likes of Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Terrorizer, Heavy Blog is Heavy, Metal Sucks, The Obelisk, The Sludgelord and many more. \"Thunderously heavy.\" Metal Hammer \"Crushing. A Winner.\" Terrorizer \"Black gold.\" Kerrang! Kylver These Newcastle space troopers wield atmospheric Hammond tones, analogue effects and progressive rock which they meld effortlessly with doom and postrock, creating something familiar to all the music we love, yet unlike anything we\'ve ever heard. Their album \'The Mountain Ghost\' immediately had tracks featured on Prog Magazine\'s cover mount and received a tidal wave of great reviews, and their recently released album \'The Island\' is already getting a huge buzz. \"Kylverﾒs real strength is not so much their evident instrumental skill, but also their careful crafting of mood and atmosphere.\" Echoes And Dust \"Kylver have taken a more progressive rock approach especially with the structure of all of the songs and have built postmetal theatrics on top of that.\" The Sludgelord Space Witch The bringers of cosmic psych and drone return from StokeonTrent once more. We had such a blast with them last year, it\'s a real joy to have them back. Their combination of heavy doom riffs and celestial electronics makes for a sound that holds wide appeal. We still play their selftitled EP/album (two tracks, over an hour long) every week. \"A highly intelligent outlook on all things metal.\" The Sludgelord \"Both psychedelic and evil as fuck.\" Echoes And Dust
