About this event

Underdark
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Underdark has forged a unique sonic identity that blends elements of black metal, post-rock, and post-hardcore. Their music is characterized by ethereal melodies, atmospheric textures, and intense, emotive vocals. Underdark's music is a sonic journey that transports listeners through a range of emotions, from hauntingly beautiful passages to moments of intense catharsis. Their ability to seamlessly combine the ferocity of black metal with the expansiveness of post-rock sets them apart in the modern music landscape.

Vulgaris
Founded in London, Vulgaris takes influence from a variety of genres incorporating Post-Metal, Black Metal, Atmospheric and Extreme elements to build complex and varied songs.
Seat of the fire (released May 2024) is the second studio album by Vulgaris, produced at Monolith Studios in London. The album continues their experimentation with blending genres, this time with far more ferocity and scale. Black Metal, Thrash, Sludge, Stoner and Post-Metal elements combine with atmospheric interludes to tell a story of violence and sorrow.
