At Last! Malacoda is now available on my Bandcamp page - she has been very patient indeed! I released this track last year as an audio visual, with a fantastic film by Jakub Moth. ArcTanGent festival premiered this which was a huge honour, and it was later broadcast by BBC Radio 3 but it remained video only for all these months. It was then put up on all streaming platforms on Friday. I'm super thankful for this support but those of you who work in our industry, you'll know why I'm telling you all now about the Bandcamp Release! I think we really don't need to wax lyrical about this - in short THANK YOU very much for having a listen and a share and maybe a support on my Bandcamp page. Much love to all! XXX

Okay folks - the bad news first: due to the ongoing covid craziness we won't be able to bring my commissioned piece The Cartographer to Roadburn Redux 2021 this year BUT... I took my amazing crew into The Black Heart to record something special instead... This includes a premiere for you, and a rework of a piece I haven't played for a long time. Guess which one!?

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Dont forget the entire festival is free to watch, wherever you are in the world, and it will be a very special few days of great music.

And bring on 2022! 😎

Still a few months away but the line-up is great! If you managed to grab a ticket back when this was first announced, see you there!!

Sorry to say it's already sold out - but there will be more great things to come...Here's to great music and great venues!*** RTH DATES ***
It’s not been a secret that the last year has been a struggle for us, as it has for almost every venue in the country. Trying to stay afloat with mostly no income and little outside help from the powers that be left us in a very precarious situation.

So last year when we reached out for initial help from the underground music community by announcing a “comeback” weekender of fairly epic proportions the, response was mind-blowing and what we had dubbed “RESTART THE HEART” sold out in a matter of hours.

Now the time has come to put that planning into action. So, now that our crowdfunding effort has surpassed it’s total we’ve been at work arranging the necessaries and we’re happy to announce the dates for this party for those who grabbed tickets will be Friday 22nd - Sunday 24th October 2021.

The lineup (inevitably) has altered ever so slightly with it being a lot further away than originally envisaged, but the bulk of the bands are still in place to make once hell of a fun prospect, as follows:

FRIDAY 22ND OCTOBER
Dawn Ray'd
The Atrocity Exhibit
Dungeon
Sewer Trench
TystvaR
Skullfucked
Basement Torture Killings

SATURDAY 23RD OCTOBER

SUNDAY 24TH OCTOBER

Additionally there will be a whole host of DJ’s / Exhibits / Market Stalls / Booze Tasting / Comps + Raffles galore all to be announced over the coming months !
(NB despite no longer being able to perform, Nick and Emily of Witchsorrow will now be DJing on the Saturday between bands in the venue)

Stay tuned for more info ! Also check out all the other rad shows we have lined up for both before and after this date!
