Somehow it gets heavier. We are very pleased to welcome Bristol favourites @gnaschband to this absolutely skull crushing doom bill on Saturday 28th November. See you at the taproom of doom for some of the most disgusting music you'll hear this year.

Tickets available on Headfirst.

Two Nights @ Subside: Smouldering Tomb & Cattle Hammer. Isen Mund, Saarkoth, & Tigguo Cobauc.

Birmingham has more small metal venues than you’d expect from a city its size. Yet in meetings about the metal scene, talk turns to nostalgia for lost venues more often than it celebrates living ones. I think one of the best things we could do for the scene is change that.

I also realised yesterday that none of the posts on this feed contain Subside photos, so it’s time to put that right.

There are several reasons Subside is special. It does lots for the Uni I work at, giving our Metal Society a venue. It provides the perfect setting for charismatic vocalists to get in the crowd so everyone sees the whites of their eyes. But I admit there’s nostalgia in the main reason I love it: it makes me feel just like I felt at metal gigs as a teenager in the ‘90s. There’s a youngish crowd in battle jackets, with ‘80s thrash & ‘90s death patches.

Two of my favourite recent gigs have been at Subside, so here are photos from both. The first was death metal & sludge from Smouldering Tomb & Cattle Hammer. CH are mainstays of the Birmingham scene, who always put on a wild-eyed, bludgeoning show. ST are one of my favourite rising OSDM bands – claustrophobic, oppressive, & compulsive. Both bands used Subside right – frenzied vocalists up in the faces of the crowd.

This Sunday, Subside gave us an unforgettable night of black metal. First up, Isen Mund (Stoke). They let me take a few photos as they put on paint. Then they gave a proper show – tortured & icy, vocalist drawing the crowd right into the horror. Next Saarkoth whipped up a theatric frenzy (inc deer skull) & some of the heaviest drumming I’ve seen for a while. Headliners Tigguo Cobauc immersed us in their weird sludgy world, bass player also giving a frontman performance.

Subside is a dream for fans, less so for photos (red light with bright blue & green spots mean most have to be b&w). But I want to make sure the Why Metal Matters gallery represents day-to-day metal, not just glossier festival shots, so have added LOADS of small venue pics - link in comments.

Thanks to the fantastic promoters - Phil the Room & SYD.

We’re overjoyed to finally be able to announce that we’re playing the amazing two-day camping festival The Woods in May 2027! It’s an honour to play a festival headlined by the incredible pairing of @mastiffhchc and @baalbanduk alongside some of the UK underground’s best artists! Huge shout-out in particular to our fellow Scottish band @codespeaker (who we’re also playing with in a couple of months!) and the crushingly bleak @cattlehammer , who we had the honour of sharing a line-up with back in March! 🖤

When Nicki of @road_to_masochist asked us to play her first festival, taking place at the unique and beautiful location of Fell Foot Wood, we just knew we had to say yes to such a magical experience. And of course the whole festival will be one of 2027’s unmissable weekends, so don’t sleep on tickets! 🖤 Xxx

Hello, I had some more sick flyers and posters delivered to me this morning. I love physical media and I always have paper flyers and posters for all my gigs.

I feel like handing out 50 flyers after a show reaches a way better audience than potentially tens of thousands of views on a social media post.

September has been a struggle with presales so far, if you're thinking about going to any of my September shows, please get a ticket in advance, it would take a massive amount of pressure and stress off my shoulders. Even if you can't go, a reshare might get the word to some people who may not have heard about these shows.

If you're struggling with cash, there's always low-income tickets to my gigs and all my September shows are NOTAFLOF.

Here's what I've got coming up next:

9th September - Shitbrains, Gummo, Disease, Horsebastard, NicxRage, Victim Unit - grindcore at Guac N Roll

13th September - Sinister Feeling, Erode, Mongolian Warlord, BillyxFury - hardcore & powerviolence ar Guac N Roll

30th September - Bas Rotten, Avoid, Byford Dolphin Incident, Sevenyearwaitinglist - grindcore at Guac N Roll

4th October - The Domestics, Prey, Emissaries of Syn, Personal Hell - hardcore punk at Guac N Roll

18th October - Throes, Armed for Apocalypse, 72% and one more - sludge, blackened hardcore at Outpost

24th October - Death For Life - Death Metal Half Dayer at Rough Trade

26th October - Stormo, Believe in Nothing, One Arm Left - screamo, sludge, noise at Archive

31st October - Every Hell, Toronto Blessings + two more - post-hardcore at Outpost

9th November - Merit, Hollow Blessings, Iran Iran, One Arm Left - sludge / blackened hardcore at Guac N Roll

12th November - Pig Destroyer, Horsebastard, Crepitation, Struck a Nerve, Mongolian Warlord - grindcore / death metal / powerviolence at Arts Club Loft

17th November - Pilori, Still, Acceptance - post black metal / grind / blackened hardcore at Archive

29th November - Bile Caster, Cattle Hammer, Tomb Slab, NxMad - sludge / doom at Outpost.

Who's going to all twelve of my remaining shows this year you crazy bastards?
