BLACK SKULL RITUAL

PUNKS WHO DOOM WITH A DRUM MACHINE. Black Skull Ritual is industrial doom punk metal. Old school metal riffs and ear damaging, bass heavy drum machine beats. Bassist and vocalist Baron Von Strange growls with a Lydon sneer of punk intensity. Guitarist Karl Lawrence mixes punk and doom metal riffs drawing comparisons to Celtic Frost, Venom and the Sex Pistols in equal measure. Black Skull Ritual have brought sonic chaos to venues and festivals across the UK including a sold out show with black metal titans The Infernal Sea, electronic Nu-core pioneers Seething Akira, Die Kur, Pretty Addicted, Alien Vampires, Everest Queen and rising Essex metal stars Beyond Extinction.

FLYTRAP

4 piece band from Essex. If your ears aren’t ringing, we haven’t done our job right.

DEAD VILLAINS
Formed at the start of 2025, Dead Villains are an Emogaze-core band from Bedfordshire. Comprised of Lyonii, Liam, Tom, Rob and Ryan. Dead Villains first emerged onto the live scene through Bloodstock's Metal 2 the Masses competition in Northants.Quickly becoming a crowd favourite, they made it all the way to the final finishing as runners up. A string of shows followed with each gathering bigger audiences and buzz for the villains. Building on a strong start Dead Villains are closing 2025 with the release of their debut single 'Troll Hunter'.
