14th June The Rotted (formerly Gorerotted) - MAY BRAWL at The Man on the Moon |
Having left behind a name (Gorerotted) that had become synonymous with the highest quality of extreme metal The Rotted pick up the mantle of one of the fore-runners of the UK extreme metal scene for the past 10 years. Gone are the ‘gore’ image and lyrics that Gorerotted purveyed so well and they are replaced by a more ‘personal’ approach to the music, so the band can now really spread its wings and cause the musical carnage they have always wanted. Founded in 1998 and drawing influences from not only 1990’s death metal and grind but also punk and hardcore Gorerotted had always sought to push the boundaries of what can seem an otherwise rather restricted genre. Having released material on the highly influential Relapse Records both their previous release and the new album, ‘Get Dead or Die Trying’, are on the legendary Metal Blade Records.Expect a schizophrenic hybrid of extreme metal and punk hardcore violence, riddled with a melancholic darkness and cynical humour that spits in the face of life itself. Main support band will be Centurion’s Ghost, who originated as a doom band in the vein of Candlemass but have since drawn in influences from bands such as Celtic Frost (“...have produced a golden and ‘great work’, 9/10 Terrorizer; “Awesome British Steelâ€, KKKK Kerrang). Death-core outfit Burning Skies and local cyber-gore grind band Malignant Germ Infestation complete the bill. www.therotted.com www.myspace.com/therotted www.myspace.com/centurionsghost www.burningskies.co.uk www.myspace.com/malignantgerminfestation |
|
17th June 36 Crazyfists at The Junction |
