SUMMARY:Massive Ego + Dead Lights + Larva + The Silent Era
DESCRIPTION:Stigmata Presents The Symphony Of Flies UK TourMASSIVE EGO UK – 30th Anniversary Dates!DEAD LIGHTS (UK)LARVA (Spain) THE SILENT ERA (UK) \n\n\n\nMASSIVE EGO Biography: Formed in 1996\, UK synth-pop/electronic darkwave act Massive Ego emerged from the short-lived New Romantic revival known as Romo\, attracting early critical attention with a favourable live review in Melody Maker. Across a three-decade career marked by frequent line-up changes\, including members such as Dan Black (The Servant/Planet Funk) and Dean Bright (Dead Or Alive)\, the band has maintained a strong presence on the European alternative circuit\, appearing at festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen\, M’era Luna\, Amphi\, Infest\, and Whitby Goth Weekend\, alongside extensive touring throughout the UK and mainland Europe. Difficult to categorise stylistically\, Massive Ego combine confrontational lyricism with a striking visual identity\, epitomised by vocalist Marc Massive’s performative aesthetic\, earning them adevoted underground following. Releases such as Noise In The Machine (2014) and the albums Beautiful Suicide and Church for the Malfunctioned signalled a shift toward a darker and more abrasive sonic palette. In 2024\, guitarist Porl Young (Rosetta Stone) joined the long-standing core line-up.Throughout 2025\, Massive Ego unveiled four singles from their forthcoming new album. Their current single features guest vocals from Boy George alongside a remix from current dark scene favourites\, Actors\, signalling an especially significant period for the band as they navigate 2026\, reaffirming their enduring capacity for reinvention within the margins of electronic music culture. \n\n\n\nWith the announcement of their first-ever headline UK tour\, and new album\, Symphony Of Flies\, out on 8th May through Out Of Line Music\, it marks a high-profile 30th-anniversary year. \n\n\n\nDEAD LIGHTS Short Biography:Glamgoth? Dark Electro? Industrial Cyberfunk? Disguised as dark\, sleazy synthpop\, DEAD LIGHTS create their own personal blend of monumental synth bass lines and gritty sounds\, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal\, dance-orientated beats. Founded in 2020\, the international duo Saul (UK) and Richard (NL) have defined their own style\, combining elements of glam\, goth and industrial with a modern\, personal twist. Their energetic live performance has brought them to many international venues and festivals. DEAD LIGHTS: progressive EBM for the 21st century. \n\n\n\nTHE SILENT ERA Short Biography: Distorted\, cinematic and intensely emotionalalt-rock from London. Touching on goth\, industrial\, shoegaze and post-punk.”….a remarkable band making extraordinary music.” – The Big Takeover“This album is extraordinary and defies easycategorization…”

SUMMARY:Reliquia + Hurtsfall + Mrs Frighthouse
DESCRIPTION:A profoundly eclectic concert bill celebrating different and diverse sounds from the UK’s dark alternative underground. From gothic rock\, to post-punk doom to industrial noise. \n\n\n\n“Reliquia is a UK-based five-piece crafting emotionally charged\, atmospheric music that merges post-punk urgency\, post-rock scale\, and the weight of heavy alternative music into a sound that prioritizes dark atmospheres\, anthemic songwriting and heavy\, crushing emotion.Formed by vocalist Gregg Neville (Spire Circle\, Golden Gardens) and guitarist Tobias Gray (The Machinist)\, the lineup is completed by George Kal (guitars)\, Andy Lindley (bass)\, and Karim Nashar (drums).Since emerging onto the UK live circuit in 2023\, the band has shared stages with artists across the darker and more experimental ends of the alternative spectrum\, including Darkest Era\, Hexvessel\, Godthrymm\, Scandelion\, Night Hexe\, and industrial pioneers Attrition. Their sets have quickly gained a reputation for being aggressive\, intense\, theatrical and emotional.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Mrs Frighthouse is Carys and Luna Frighthouse\, a wife and wife industrial noise metal duo from Glasgow. Their unique blend of harsh sonic dissonance and chaos combined with beautiful heart-wrenching vocals has seen them play headline shows and festivals across the UK. \n\n\n\nThey confront issues of misogyny\, homophobia and transphobia in performances that feel in equal parts disturbing and cathartic.”\n\n\n\n“Hurtsfall have a unique approach: with no guitars\, keyboards and Bass VI build a rich soundscape as a foundation for Sam Harrison Emm’s distinctive theatrical delivery. Hurtsfall blend gothic rock\, post-punk\, and synth/pop\, recalling the essence of your favourites with a fresh genre-spanning twist. Based in Nottingham\, the ancestral home of Lord Byron\, they share his penchant for romantic verses.”

SUMMARY:She Past Away + Actors
DESCRIPTION:Night Terrors will be hosting a double-bill of She Past Away + ACTORS at Dalston’s EartH Hall this September. \n\n\n\nSHE PAST AWAY is a dark wave/post-punk duo\, consisting of Volkan Caner (vocal\, guitars and songwriting) and Doruk Ozturkcan (drums\, synths and production). Experimenting old/new aesthetic of synth music into their core guitar stuff\, She Past Away forged a sound\, an attitude\, and a sensibility\, conveyed through a minimalist poetry sung in Turkish\, which sweeps the audience through a dense\, continual epic trip in both their recordings and live performances. \n\n\n\nACTORS is a Canadian post-punk/darkwave band from Vancouver\, formed in 2012 by Jason Corbett (vocals\, guitar)\, known for their cinematic\, synth-driven sound that blends classic 80s new wave with modern flair\, alongside Shannon Hemmett (keyboards\, vocals)\, Kendall Wooding (bass\, vocals)\, and Adam Fink (drums). They gained prominence with albums like It Will Come To You (2018) and Acts of Worship (2021)\, blending moody atmospheres\, driving rhythms\, and anthemic hooks\, establishing themselves as key figures in the contemporary darkwave scene.
