LIFER:

HEAVIER THAN MOST and catchier than a truck full of bare breasted STD ridden nuns. LIFER exist because they do and dare you to fill your ears with downed tuned metalurgy – your ears have earned this.

No strangers to big events, LIFER have played Hevyfest, Hammerfest and Bloodstock Open Air, with the imminent release their second album which features recently released single ‘Year Of The Hog’ https://soundcloud.com/lifer-scriv/year-of-the-hog

Expect LIFER to take everything to the next level in 2016.

OBZIDIAN:

OBZIDIAN, groove death metallers from Stafford (UK), released their 3rd album “Concrete Psychosis” on Rocksector Records, 6th October 2014, the follow-up to the highly acclaimed 2012 album “Damned Eternal”. OBZIDIAN goes back to the founder’s high school days when Baz (guitars), Paul (drums) and Jeffsy (bass) formed the basis of the band in 2001. Having added a couple of further members in the formative years, by early 2005, the line-up was stripped back to just one guitarist, Baz, whilst Matty J was added as frontman and vocalist, and the band’s current groove-laden sound was conceived.

PANDEMIK:

Bringing you their own trade-mark genre “Regressive Metal,” of groove blended 90s death thrash, this is PANDEMIK.
This 5-piece Liverpool band, except for the half that is Welsh, PANDEMIK consists of front man Marc M, whose charismatic enthusiasm is enjoyed on and off stage whether through his growling vocals, or to his witty jokes inbetween songs. Mike H on drums smash it, grabs it and does one at every gig, he gets the job done with ease. Chris H on lead guitar is not just the man to look to on stage as the composed one, he also has a wah pedal. Lee J on rhythm guitar adds to the sound on stage (because 5 is more than 4) and finally Alan N on bass, adds to the comedy as he does to the set (well, hes bald) providing a good indication on what type of night you will have with these lads.

FIRENADO:

Combining elements of old school and modern thrash and groove metal with a hint of death metal, FIRENADO thrive on an aggressive sound and an equally balls to the wall live show. Blending melodic harmonies with a fast paced groove to sludgy breakdowns that will tear you a new one. The visceral riffage is accompanied by harsh old school thrash vocals and even harsher growls provided by Adam and Matt. FIRENADO are blazing a trail of destruction through the UK music scene and are here to burn it down!

With many more bands yet to be announced along with other features to the show, MOSH AGAINST CANCER COVENTRY looks to be one of the must attend events of next year.

An insanely infectious gentlemanly façade feeds the tongue-in-cheek theatrical madness that is GEHTIKA‘s live performance. With a hugely successful 2013 under their belt, including their ‘Impossible Question’ EP (recorded & produced by Justin Hill, Sikth), being featured on the Metal Hammer cover mount CD, victories in ‘Big Noise Evolution’s Battle of the Bands’ (sponsored by Blackstar) and Birmingham’s ‘Metal 2 the Masses’ competition, resulting in playing the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock.

Now in 2015 with new members and a slight rebuild RESIN are back, Currently writing new material with a single and video scheduled for a summer release, RESIN are looking forward to getting back out on the road to showcase the new sound, it’s a bit dirtier and a bit bluesier but it is still 100% RESIN with their trademark mix of Grunge and Metal.

ROPEWALK:

http://www.ropewalkband.com

What do you get if you cross the vocal power of a god, the drums of a machine, bass of thunder and the guitars of lightning? The answer is Iron Maiden, but if you can’t afford to see them come and see ROPEWALK instead. ROPEWALK are a four piece metal band from Nottingham, who all draw influences from various types of music and merge them into one distinct sound.

“Their sound sits somewhere between Soulfly and Lamb of God with a bit of Pantera mixed in for good measure.” – MetalMouth

OMV (One More Victim):

https://www.facebook.com/omvmetal

With a history to tell that would surely create a smash hit movie, a song written by the UK’s most notorious prisoner Charlie Bronson OMV are Street metal / Hardcore from Merseyside, formed in January 2012 by front man Richie after his release from prison, OMV write aggressive groove riffs with huge breakdowns all the songs are real life experiences Richie encountered as a criminal , not glamorizing crime but sending a message out to stay away from that kind of life, naming Pantera, Lamb of God, Hatebreed and ICE T’s Body Count as influences, this band are guaranteed to deliver a neck breaking performance. Having played with bands including Diamond Head, Lawnmower Deth, Line of Fire and Knotslip at venues including the Liverpool and London 02 academy’s, OMV are ready to take on all comers and prove why they already have a name as the band no other band wants to follow! They are also a band who would rather spend their time in the gym than in a pub, they are bringing a new look and feel to metal and now is their time!

With many more bands yet to be announced along with other features to the show MOSH AGAINST CANCER COVENTRY looks to be one of the must attend events of next year.
