The doom of isolation.
The Shipping Report

Funeral Doom
Leeds, UK

The Shipping Report is an experimental musical project designed to explore the concepts of isolation and loneliness. Musically it is rooted in progressive rock and doom metal. In terms of mood, it's inspired by growing up in a seaside town without a future.
Sonic landscapes carved by the waves of time.
Ebonillumini

Avant-Garde Post Black Metal
London UK, Oslo Norway, Nova Scotia Canada

Ebonillumini is an avant-garde black metal band with members from across the globe. Headquartered in London UK, the band weave tales of world travel and deliver mystical oration and musical visions. They have just released their second full length album on Wicker Man Records - Arktos.
Pure suicidal despair.
Sykelig Englen

Depressive Suicidal Black Metal
Norwich, UK

Haunting melodies and depressive atmosphere clout like fog by Sykelig Englen's black metal ritual. The band hail from the old cobbled streets of Norwich. The band are getting ready to release their debut album this December.
Fist throwing doom.
Wounded Cross

Traditional Doom
Rugby, UK

Rugby's Wounded Cross are new to the UK scene, but the sound they bring with them is one we all know. This is vintage Sabbath, Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar - this is bonecrushing doom. The band is currently working on their first EP.
The art of perversion.
S.F.I Sturmgeist.Fornicator.Insultus

Black Metal
Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK

Bringing a black metal assault so severe it will make your legs weak, S.F.I's perverse sound is relentless. Hailing from the same town as William Shakespeare, the band's penchant for raw sexual content would leave the ancient poet red in the face.
Ripoffcrisy.


Death Metal
Leeds / London, UK

began as a joke Hypocrisy ripoff band but quickly transformed into a serious project. The band still takes inspiration from Hypocrisy and cues from the X-Files, but they also deliver a two pronged vocal assault, riffs, and rage. The band's debut EP Alien Nation has received high praise and the band are working on their full length followup.
Beligerent black metal assault.
Mundus

Black Metal
Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK

Blackened sonic hate.
Pure anal shitstorm.
Ebola Gush

Shitgrind
UK

Sounds like shit.
Extreme Satanic noise.
Baalberith

Black Metal
Nottingham / Newark, UK

Baalberith is the sound of malignancy and misanthropy. The band has been active for a number of years and have quite a few releases to their name. The band's most recent wall of hate is 2014's Apparition of Skulls.
Pulsating death metal horror.
Squirm

Goregrind
UK

Squirm bring pummelling musicianship and gut churning vocals and heave it in a giant bloody mess all over the floor. Guitars are like rusty buzzsaws and vocal output heaves like last night's kebab.
The unrelenting churn of shadows.
Wytchfilth

Industrial Black Metal
Norwich, UK

Wytchfilth bring a nihilistic black metal assault combined with concussive industrial drums and sounds. The band has been active for some time and has a huge library of demos and EPs. They have been studio only for years, but will begin playing live in 2015.
To die alone in the taiga.
Carnivorous Forest

Neofolk / Blackened Death Metal
Formed in Nova Scotia Canada, now based in London UK

Carnivorous Forest is a band that has two faces - One side is brutal blackened death metal and one is sorrowful neofolk. The band is gearing up for their first full length album after their successful Genital Mutilation in the Name of God EP from 2013. The band currently operates live on an acoustic only basis.
Intense malevolent destruction.
Idolatry

Black Metal
Alberta, Canada

Edmonton's Idolatry have only been operating for a year or so, but they have already made waves through the black metal community. With only an EP and a split in their arsenal, the band is hard at work scribing the texts for their debut full length ceremony.
