SONGS FROM THE BLOOD – NEW ALBUM & TOUR

May I present to you the initial details of the sixth Byronic Sex & Exile album and accompanying UK tour.

‘Songs From The Blood’ is a dramatic retelling of the Dracula legend, which becomes a tale of noble, uncompromising defiance and resurrection. It tells the tale of a Count who truly is “powerful, beautiful, and without regrets.”

The ‘Songs From The Blood’ tour will be an immersive exercise in gothic atmosphere, providing thrills and chills in equal measure. Part One of the tour takes place over the remainder of 2025, with Part Two taking place at special locations next year.

‘Songs From The Blood’ will be arriving on CD and digital download this autumn.

2025-10-05 19:00 - 23:00
4th night of the KRAUTPUNK tour: night of experimental post-punk, dark wave, and sonic resistance.

KRAUTPUNK brings together international artists pushing the boundaries of genre, performance, and politics. Expect raw energy, bold visual aesthetics, and a fierce DIY ethos in this celebration of underground creativity, proudly supported by Arts Council England.

This night features live music by
Tantrum Zentrum (UK / Canada)Post-punk band from London. Inspired by both early 70s German rock and late 70s New York no-wave bands, they deliver sonic dissonance and poppy hooks with great energy and style – like Killing Joke but on happy pills.

Tvashtar (UK / Germany)Tvashtar’s songs combine a crepuscular atmosphere with driving bass, dark austere vocals, crisply drumming and sub-cooled biting guitar tones. It’s like the soundtrack to the coolest vampire movie that you’ve never seen.

Paris Alexander (UK)Brighton, UK, Artist, multi-instrumentalist and music producer within the synth, post-punk, and cold wave scene. A long-time collaborator with Antipole. Their latest album, Crystalline, was released in May 2023. Paris Alexander often collaborates with the artist Eirene, as can be heard in full effect on the 2021 album Renaissance.

St Lucifer + Hurtsfall + Still Forever + West Echo Three + Mark Corri
2025-09-27 19:00 - 23:00 | Fuel The Music, Manchester, St Anne's Alleyway, Manchester, M2 7AT
Perfectly Cromulent Productions are very proud to present this special celebration of St Lucifer’s first decade as a band…This is also their first hometown over a year – so expect a set full of volume, love and some very unexpected treats thrown in for good measureJoining them for this one-off spectacular are some very special guests, including…

MARK CORRINMark Corrin is a Liverpool born, Manchester based writer, producer & radio broadcaster – and was also on the for the very first St Lucifer gig, back in September 2015! We are thrilled to have him on board for this milestone celebration

Mark’s early releases as “Shirokuma” were frequently broadcast on the John Peel Show on BBC Radio 1, while his more recent solo work has featured on BBC Late Junction with Nick Luscombe.

He has also previously collaborated with artists including Damo Suzuki (Can), Ria Mazini (Mikro) and Max Tundra

STILL FOREVER

“Post-punk, gothic, techno, pop and industrial influences, incorporating found sound and creative instrumentation, overlaid with raw, expressive vocals”

Still Forever distils inspiration into her own sound, driven by a relentless surge to experiment, advance, evolve. Amy has performed across the UK, including support slots for SolarFake, Empathy Test, Zanias and God Module, amongst others, and also runs grassroots events in her hometown of Manchester.

Amy was also a member of St Lucifer from 2019-2023 and remains a frequent collaborator with the band (St Lucifer recently remixed her last single, the high-powered ‘After All Of This’ – as part of a series prior to the release of her own 4th solo LP

WEST ECHO THREEHailing from Oldham UK, West Echo Three produce a noise most easily described as Metallic, Digital Post-Rock

With moods that shift from stark angularity, to lush crescendos, whilst lo-fi beats pulse under vocals that are in turn emotional and oblique, West Echo Three have gained a reputation as a formidable live act, comfortable on any stage

West Echo Three also comprises not one, but two former members of St Lucifer – founding bass player John Mitchell and Lead Guitarist Charlotte Winchcombe – expect some formidable riffage!

HURTSFALL“Like a fine wine…flavours are subtle with hints of The Damned, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and Host-era Paradise Lost” – Down The Front Media.

Hurtsfall have a unique approach: no guitars, keyboards and Bass VI build a rich soundscape as a foundation for frontman Sam Harrison Emm’s distinctive theatrical vocals.

Hurtsfall blend gothic rock, post-punk, and synth/pop, recalling the essence of your favourites with a fresh genre-spanning twist.

Despite playing many of the same venues and events (including a Festival where they were on at the same time on different stages), St Lucifer and Hurtsfall have never actually appeared together on the same bill – we are therefore delighted to have them come and join us for this special event – celebrating the past, present and future!

ST LUCIFER

Last but not least…….. St Lucifer are the most original/unique band you will see or hear this year (or any other for that matter!)Statistically speaking they are 33% Trans, 54% Disabled, 20% Post-Human and 100% BlackMetalGayDiscoYes, you read that correctly. St Lucifer make explosive and dynamic Post-Punk-Electro-Symphonic-Stadium-Techno-Avant-Pop with a side order in good old-fashioned NOISEOur influences are determinedly diverse but one (approximate) recipe might be:Get the KLF and Trevor Horn to produce Girls Aloud, throw in some Sex Pistols, a touch of Henge surreal theatricality, a spoonful of Melvins and a dash of True Kvult Scandinavian guitars, then plate up using New Order-esque synths, 80s electro-funk and choruses bigger than The Beatles….We’ve performed with artists as diverse as Peter Hook & The Light, Fields of the Nephilim, Subway Sect, Damo Suzuki, The Cuban Boys, Attrition and Lord of the Lost and have gigged extensively (multiple UK tours + Festivals including Whitby Goth Festival, Trans Pride Brighton, HRH at the 02, Punk for Palestine, Goth City Leeds and more)To date we’ve released 4 albums: St Lucifer (2016), Music Is Violence (2018), Deathcrush Palare (2021) and Disgraceland (2023) + 18 singles, a Remix album and 2 compilations of b-sides, covers and related curiositiesSt Lucifer are currently David, Eden & AliceSt Lucifer make #BlackMetalGayDiscoSt Lucifer are the #queermilitia

DIE KRUPPS mastermind Jurgen Engler is a visionary who has had a lasting influence on the music landscape for decades. In the late 1970s, he was among the first German punk rockers with his band Male In the eighties, he formed DIE KRUPPS, a driving force of the industrial and EBM movements. When this scene was taken over by the mainstream in the nineties, the group from Dusseldorf integrated tough thrash guitars into their sound and became, along with Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, the most important source of inspiration in the electro metal genre and also influenced numerous bands of the Neue Deutsche Harte (New German Hardness). Inspiring a genre that produced acts such bands as Oomph!, Eisbrecher, and Rammstein. Die Krupps is now a name synonymous with the electro-industrial-metal & Neue Deutsche Harte genres. Since its formation in the early 80s, Die Krupps has constantly evolved, using synthesizers, metallic percussion, heavy guitars to create it’s own brand of metal-machine-music.

2025-09-20 19:00 - 23:00 | Castle Tavern, Luton, 1 Castle Street, Luton, LU1 3AA
We’ve prepared an absolute banger of a night with this one. Inertia, The Spiritual Bat, and Into the Dark offer three very different, yet exceptional takes on what constitutes gothic music.

Inertia, going strong for 33 years, joins dark vocals with rhythmic synths, and at this point in their career, doesn’t really need the introduction in the first place.

The Spiritual Bat is just as old as Inertia, bring a far more traditional goth vibe to the stage. They’re just as well known, having risen out of Italy, they’ve since travelled all over the western world.

Finally, Into the Dark, a far newer offering out of London, these guys bring a mix of goth, rock and even elements of pop to their edgy and outspoken performance.

We’re then going to bring out our DJs, including DJs Ultravixen, DJ Tomb, and DJ Anton of the West Midlands Gothic page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2604169933031928). Our DJs are well known for keeping the floor abuzz with energy as they roll out hit after hit until the pub are sick of our shit and throw us all out

2025-09-11 19:00 - 23:30 | The Lexington, London, 96-98 Pentonville Road N1 9JB, London, N1 9JB
Zanias has been haunting underground clubs around the world with her instantly recognisable voice and uniquely ethereal electronic productions since 2011, with the spawning of her first project Linea Aspera in London. As a solo artist, now based in Berlin, she explores a more alien and spherical palette of sounds, fusing her coldwave past with the experimental pop influences of Fever Ray, Enya, early Grimes and Caroline Polachek.

With her upcoming album ‘Cataclysm’, Zanias delivers a poignant call for revolution of both politics and consciousness in the face of humanity’s existential threats of war and climate collapse, conveyed through her signature of deeply personal and poetic lyricism.

Every song inhabits its own aesthetic universe and rhythm, featuring elemental fusions of witchhouse, trance, breakbeats and hyperpop. ‘Cataclysm’ represents an ambitious defiance of genre in pursuit of artistry with a potent political message delivered with haunting balance of vulnerability and strength. It will be released into the world in late 2025, accompanied by a new audiovisual live set co-created with drummer Dylan Cairns.

DEVISION REDUX BIOGRAPHY:

Almost every synth-pop fan in Germany and elsewhere knows the name and theDE/VISION brand. The guys who formed at the end of the 80s, played their way fromvarious youth clubs to a major record deal in the 90s and left behind countless hits and live shows. DE/VISION in a nutshell.

DEVISION REDUX – What the hell is that?According to singer SteWen Keth, DEVISION REDUX is a new format of DE/VISION, which in no way means the end of the actual band. DEVISION REDUX is an additional format andstands for the most important tracks of DE/VISION in a clubbier, more modern, partly also more minimalistic, but purely electronic guise. SteWen has chosen none other than Daniel Myer (HAUJOBB, DSTR, COVENANT etc.) as his partner for any new interpretations: a man who has followed DE/VISION’s history from the very beginning. Daniel already supported DE/VISION musically in the 90s with several remixes and was always a welcome guest with his projects in the supporting program.DEVISION REDUX will perform live with SteWen & Daniel for the first time in the Baltic States, then on German soil over Easter 2025 and will probably also expand their live presence beyond that.

ESA + iszoloscope + Grabyourface
2025-09-06 19:00 - 23:30 | 229, London, 229 Great Portland Street, London, W1B 1PF
Beat:Cancer and Elektrovox are excited to bring your three powerhouses of the industrial scene to 229 London. We give you ESA, Iszoloscope & grabyourface.

100% of all profits to this gig will be going to Rowans Hospice.

ESA : Electronic Substance Abuse (UK)Since Inception in 2004, British born ESA (aka Jamie Blacker) has been treading its own ground. A fusion of hard electronic rhythms and powerful sonic hooks. ESA’s heavy, rhythmic style has since become rooted at the forefront of the Harsh Industrial / Power Electronics / Darkwave scene, predominantly owing to slews of powerful and engaging live shows all over the globe and 12 hard hitting and critically acclaimed albums.

Iszoloscope (Canada/Netherlands)Yann Faussurier has been making music under the moniker Iszoloscope since 1999, crafting pulsing, pounding soundscapes with a core of industrial, hard-core, break-core and rhythmic noise layered with intelligent and often surprising details, such as melodic percussions and carefully placed breaks, rich, orchestral textures and dark, cinematic distortions. Experimental in nature and charged with energy, the music evokes a darkness, tension and atmosphere which immediately carries the listener away on an immersive, complex journey of introspection.

grabyourface (France)Marie’s range of style brings something to the table for everyone. Starting off in the deepest sways of depression and emotion, and steadily releasing heavier, dancier, more cathartic rage filled floor stompers and techno rave tunes between the sorrowful tracks – non-binary icon Marie is someone we can all relate to. Depression, grief, self doubt, and rage at the way the world is turning, rage at the banks, the politicians and the misogynists. Marie brings forth a war cry that transcends gender and genre. When grabyourface plays in nightclubs across the scene, it hits HARD!

About Beat:CancerBeat:Cancer is a charity formed to help fight cancer through funding research, treatment, screening and care using electronic music: We release music, run club nights, host gigs and organise festivals to raise money, which we then grant to worthy institutions such as hospices, research centres and treatment wards.

Beat:Cancer is a registered UK Charity (number 1169212) run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are passionate about using great music to save lives.

About ElektrovoxPassionate about dark electronic music and the scene around it, Elektro Vox provides the UK with great interviews, and reviews

Dark Side Of The Tyne 2025: Attrition + The Ultimate Dreamers + Novyi Lef
2025-09-05 19:00 - 23:00
UK Industrial legends Attrition headline Stripped in September

Formed in Coventry in 1980 by Martin Bowes and Julia Niblock. The band emerged from the experimental post-punk scene of the early 1980s and, along with other groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, and In the Nursery, greatly contributed to the development of industrial music in the UK. From being part of the DIY and Cassette Culture scene in the 80s through to the release of The Black Mariah, Attririon’s diversity has kept them on the cutting edge of dark music since their inception.

The Ultimate Dreamers were influenced by Belgian coldwave and British post-punk but the teenagers set upon their own path. Frigid, organic tones with tainted with melancholy melodies, sometimes catchy, sometimes verging on the dissonant, serve as a backdrop for themes dominated by raw dreams, distressed love and social criticism. Between 1986 and 1990, they wrote and self-recorded numerous tracks, which resurfaced in 2020.The repertoire is exhumed, resuscitated and enriched with new creations, which they will bring back to the Black Bull following on from their successful tour last year

Novyi Lef, (it’s pronounced “No-Wee-Leff”)Taking their name from a 1920’s Soviet arts publication, NOVYI LEF (pronounced No-wee Leff) offer an angry, political take on electroclash, plying their trade in architectural punk via analogue synth screams and squeals. The result is a very striking cold electronic sound, almost similar to some aspects of NDW, and early 80s british synth music from the industrial north with a modern twist.

This is all alongside our usual-unusual mix of post punk, industrial, Goth rock, deathrock, EBM, New Wave, Coldwave, Darkwave, Neue Deutsche Hart, and various other alternative musical goodies. From the vault, hot off the press or anywhere inbetween, of course your requests are very welcome.

The Black Bull is on Mulgrave Terrace right across the dual carriageway from Gateshead Interchange, making it accessible to people from a multitude of areas around the north east (Mileage may vary subject to public transport – the hub’s on the doorstep at least) and the drinks choices include a range of cask, keg and bottled beers, Ciders, Wines, Soft drinks both hot and cold. something for every one of your 5 senses, and quite possibly your sixth as well.

doors 7pm, Noyvi Lef on stage 7.45 pm, The UItimate Dreamers at 8.30pm and ATTRITION at 9.30pm. Stripped DJs before, between and after

Skeletal Family + Split Dogs + Monica & The Explosion
2025-08-30 19:00 - 23:00 | The Holroyd Arms / Suburbs Venue, Guildford, 36 Aldershot Road, Guildford, GU2 8AF
Skeletal Family and Special Guests go Undercover in Guildford

FOR THREE AWESOME BANDS

SKELETAL FAMILYSPLIT DOGSMONICA & THE EXPLOSION (SWE) solo set

SKELETAL FAMILY are: Anneka Latta – Vocals / Stan Greenwood – Guitars / Roger ‘Trotwood’ Nowell – Bass / Ian ‘Karl Heinz’ Taylor – Keyboards / Saxophone /Adrian “Ozzy” Osadzenko – Drums and Percussion

Being one of the more prominent Indie / Alternative bands from the early / mids 1980s, Skeletal Family enjoyed relatively major national and international success. From topping the National UK indie charts for three weeks in Autumn 1984 with debut album “Burning Oil” (above other contemporary northern bands The Smiths & New Order) to recording seven BBC Radio One sessions for John Peel, Janice Long & Kid Jensen. Their impressive live show at this time bought them to the attention of The Sisters of Mercy front man Andrew Eldritch, who, after seeing a local performance, invited them as special guests on their 1984 Black October tour. The next two years saw the band gracing the stage with acts such as Siouxie & The Banshees, Spear of Destiny & The Mission etc.

Undettered, following vocalist Anne Hurst’s sudden departure in 1985 following the release of their second album “Futile Combat”, the band enjoyed greater national chart success with the singles ‘Restless’ & ‘Just A Minute’ via signing to Chrysalis Records with new vocalist Katrina Phillips (from ex Specials Terry Hall’s band The Colourfield, single ‘Thinking of You’). This line up of the group disbanded in 1987 but due to the advent of the worldwide web, reissues of earlier studio and compilation albums, along with a rapidly growing resurgence of interest in eighties music & culture the band reformed again in 2022. Now consisting of original members Stan Greenwood, Roger ‘Trotwood’ Nowell and Ian ‘Karl Heinz’ Taylor, i.e. the main songwriters of the band (all of whom were in the original pre cursor to Skeletal Family from 1979 called The Elements) produced two new original studio albums “Sakura” & “Songs Of Love Hope & Despair” alongside a third release on Jungle Records titled “Day Of All Days”. The band continues to play live to this day, headlining alternative European festivals / events which culminated with an extensive month long USA tour in 2018 coupled with one off appearances in Brazil and Mexico. 2020 / 2021 saw the band utilising the Covid pandemic to their advantage. Alongside vocalist Anneka Latta and drummer Adrian “Ozzy” Osadzenko the band recorded 19 new songs at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios, Ripley, UK. Ten of these tracks have been selected for the bands sixth studio album “Light From The Dark” scheduled for release Sping 2023 via Chapter 22 Records. https://skeletalfamily.com

AND we have them going Undercover over at Suburbs The Holroyd Guildford. Enjoy!

SPLIT DOGSKnown for their signature gut-punching, fast-paced sound, rock n rollers Split Dogs have hit the ground running since the release of their self titled debut album in 2023. Blasting out hot and heavy live performances all over the UK, Cultivating a loyal and growing fanbase with their raucous stage performances, hard-hitting hooks and infectious lyrics, they are here to destroy!

Salem's Lot: Late Night Screening
2025-08-23 23:30 - 2025-08-24 04:00 | Rio Cinema, London, 107 Kingsland High St, London, E8 2PB, United Kingdom
Tobe Hooper’s adaptation of Stephen King’s ensemble cast vampire novel SALEMS LOT closes late night horror film club Category H’s season “Goth Films Or Films Of Interest To Goths”. Don’t let the fact this night is dedicated to a TV film fool you, SALEM’S LOT is dripping in slow burn small town gothic atmosphere that winds its way to a truly terrifying climax.

A writer is visiting Salems Lot to work on his novel. A child obsessed with things that go bump in the night and his friends are working on a play. Priests fill bottles of holy water, the bars are sparse but populated, a couple argues at home. The small town of Salems Lot is doing just fine, until a mysterious antique dealer begins to set up shop.

SALEMS LOT is divided into two ‘episodes’, and thus it is our two parter all nighter that closes “Goth Films Or Films Of Interest To Goths”. Built from a list of the same name discovered in the Rio’s archive, we selected a series of double bills from over fifty films. It’s been an amazing goth summer at Rio Cinema, screening sequels, women focused horror films and creature features, but for closing night we’re bringing it back to the television where many of us encountered grainy images of horror for the first time.

We are pleased to say that this screening is in collaboration with Lammiland, the project of George Lammiman, making things in service of atmosphere across film and theatre. Expect immersion, smoke and all kinds of undead surprises for this extremely special Category H. You’ll never step foot in the Rio Cinema the same again…..

The film begins at 11:15, the same time late night double bills historically started at the Rio.
Content Warning: Salem’s Lot contains two brief sequences of domestic violence, one a sound happening off screen and the other a bruise on someone’s face – implied it is caused by domestic violence. Please message Category H on Instagram @categoryhfilms if you have any questions about the film or the night itself.

Dlina Volny
2025-08-20 19:00 - 23:00 | The Prince Albert, Brighton, 48 Trafalgar St, Brighton, BN1 4ED
Dlina Volny is a trio originally from Minsk, Belarus, now based in Warsaw and London.

The band melds Eastern European post-punk with Western darkwave, crafting a moody, introspective sound driven by haunting vocals that feels both nostalgically familiar and distinctly modern. “Dazed” LP was the first album they released on Italians Do It Betterin 2021. It was mixed by Dean Hurley and mastered by Mike Bozzi. The band has established a strong presence in Europe, the UK, and Mexico, performing at festivals like ESNS, Kalabalik på Tyrolen, and Grauzone.

Their new LP, set for release in spring 2025, promises a darker and more assertive sound, melding elements of dark pop, EBM, and cold wave.

PITCHFORK: “Perhaps you’ve been waiting for someone to put you onto Belarusian post-punk trio Dlina Volny, whose Molchat Doma-esque sense of ennui is the perfect match for the American Life track “Hollywood”

CLASH: “New album ‘Dazed’ was released a few hours ago, a crystalline, inviting document of sub-zero electronics. Already becoming a cult favourite, Dlina Volny have also ushered out a new video on the web. Stripped from the album, ‘Do It’ revolves around that motorik pulse, utilising analogue synths and swooping, post-punk bass lines.”

Italian post-punk/death-rock Horror Vacui five piece return to the UK

Supports to be announced soonEntry 18+

Horror Vacui blends early ’80s goth with post-punk in a horror-tinged sound. Their name reflects a signature style built on tight, guitar-driven songs, sing-along hooks and vocal lines many of which have become modern goth anthems as for “In Darkness You Will Feel Alright”. Fans of Corpus Delicti, Sisters of Mercy, Christian Death and Killing Joke will find familiar ground, but their catalog reaches far beyond nostalgia. Their lyrics explore identity, darkness, society and the human psyche with a raw, punk-rooted urgency that also defines their live presence and political ethos.

2025-08-17 19:00 - 23:00 | The Tin At The Coal Vaults, Coventry, Unit 1-4 Canal Basin St Nicholas Street, Coventry, CV1 4LY
HORROR VACUI are a 5 piece post-punk/death-rock band based in Bologna, Italy. Formed in 2011, the band arose within the first revival of punk tainted post punk, along with other underground acts such as The Estranged, Spectres and Belgrado just to name a few. The 5 members share other past and present bands (Marthe, Kontatto, Aldo Morto, Komarov M.B., Vespertina, Riviera, Havah) and a committed active role in the DIY punk and underground scene.

Formed in Minsk, Belarus, Dlina Volny’s evocative blend of post-punk, new wave and 80s Soviet swag is heartbroken, glamorous, and industrially beautiful.

DLINA VOLNYMinsk, BelarusItalians Do It Better Recordshttps://linktr.ee/dlinavolny

Dlina Volny translates into the English word “Wavelength.” Their name is a homage to their fascination with sine waves & the physics of sound. The Belarusian trio’s sophomore album Dazed is a self-proclaimed “Love Thriller”. Mixed by Dean Hurley, frequent David Lynch collaborator & producer, the record is gorgeous. Elegant synthesis is flanked by the brut low end of the rhythm section. The instruments set the stage for contralto vocals that hover like a warm fog on a chilly night. Hurley is also the engineer who brought us Jorja Chalmers’ “Midnight Train” earlier this year, as well as remixes for Italians Do It Better flagship artists Desire & Chromatics.

On Dazed, Masha Zinevitch’s voice wails & pivots between Ales Shishlo’s assault of morse-code arpeggios & icy sheets of Vad Mikutski’s guitars. Dlina Volny’s music vaporizes on the event horizon where Eastern European Post-Punk collides with Western Synthwave. The album balances mystical narratives & dreamlike fantasies sourced deep in the trio’s subconscious. Walking the tightrope that separates pain & euphoria, the lyrics wrestle with polarity. Anxiety vs passion, & hope vs the deep despair that surrounds negative space.

Aesthetically, Dazed encompasses 1980s Estrada Pop & the 1970s brutalist architecture that pierces the Minsk sky. “When it’s sunny here, it looks like a Soviet fairytale come true. On a dark day, it looks like dystopia.”

Having recently released their new single ‘In Between’, Dlina Volny are set to add yet another flawless release to an already pristine and industry respected discography. The band remark on the single; “In Between tells a story of one’s awakening and realisation. It delves into the desire to share newly discovered realities and meanings, inviting others to cross over to the other side and experience a transformed perspective.” The single, out via Italians Do It Better, can be heard here: https://youtu.be/FqsCKDCF8sk?si=Sh3qR9uCXrW1fjd1

Dlina Volny have a rich touring history and have performed alongside artists such as LEBANON HANOVER, MOLCHAT DOMA, KEDR LIVANSKIY, GENTS, SUPER BESSE, to name but a few. They also participated in European festivals, such as POP KULTUR (online), IKEA FESTIVAL (Online), GRAUZONE FESTIVAL (NL), BUDAPEST SHOWCASE HUB, POP MESSE Festival, LOFTAS FEST / WHAT’S NEXT In MUSIC (LT), POSTCOSMOS X (LT), and many more.

The DSM IVLiverpool, UK9×9 Recordshttps://linktr.ee/thedsmiv

Formed in Liverpool in 2018 by former Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster frontman Guy McKnight, THE DSM IV crystallise the ultra real and the otherworldly, bringing a focused hyperrealism to the party. Their convention-defying live performances toy with audience expectations and stimulate questions of the narratives being sold to us as news—or entertainment—all to the beat of the drum machinist.

Untamed Silence & Westenra at Eighteen91
2025-08-02 19:00 - 23:00 | Eighteen91, Whitby, Eighteen91, Brunswick St, Whitby, YO21 1RB
Westenra – Melodic Gothic Rock from Whitby. Luciferia (vocals), Karl (guitar) and Dominique (bass) create dark & emotional, yet uplifting & danceable songs that will appeal to fans of Siouxsie & The Banshees, Within Temptation, Evanescence, and Type O Negative.

Since exploding onto the UK goth scene in 2019 ::WESTENRA:: have been building a reputation for captivating live performances of their stylish and atmospheric sound. Their debut album “First Light” was released in January 2021 to rave reviews, followed by a cover version of the Cliff Richard classic “Devil Woman” in March 2022 – a taster for the new, bigger sound featured on the four track EP “BREATHE” which was released in July 2022. Their version of Iron Maiden’s “Number of The Beast” – originally meant as an exclusive live performance to celebrate their headlining the Whitby Krampus Run Ball – was released in February 2023, with proceeds going to the Whitby Krampus Run chosen charities.

May 2022 saw Whitby Abbey invite the band to perform within its grounds as part of their celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the novel Dracula – this generated substantial national and international exposure for the band, with the area that they performed in front of now known as “The ::WESTENRA:: Arches”.

2023 was another exciting year for ::WESTENRA:: as they released the “Toxic Little Tales” EP ahead of playing the prestigious TOMORROW’S GHOSTS FESTIVAL in Whitby in October, with gothic rock superstars THE MISSION and post-punk legends THEATRE OF HATE.

The band concentrated on playing live shows throughout 2024 to continue promotion for the “Toxic Little Tales” EP as well as writing and recording new songs for their forthcoming second album which will be released in October 2025.

Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a contemporary form of gothic post-punk, with songs that contain hook and lead tribal drums and euphoric guitar textures that frame introspective lyrics. They are known for their intense live performances, creating their own style of dark post-punk driven by vicious drums, distinctive atmospheric guitar and melodic bass.

After the success of their debut album ‘Dead Awake’ on Fuzz Club Records in 2022 and gaining critical acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling Stone and Sonic Seducer, the band released their follow up second album ‘In Limerence’ in October 2024. Described by Louder Than War as ‘ lush yet glacial soundscapes, ramping up with bursts of energy before dispersing and cascading into an ethereal depth” ‘In Limerence’ is proving to be the album that pushes Black Doldrums further into the depths of their atmospheric post-punk

Play Loud, Play Purple

“The slinky, savage yet warmly delicate March Violets, whose thirst for mystery, magic and brutal darkness has set them apart.” –Winston Smith, Sounds – June 18th 1983

“Fantastic, post-punk shrapnel guitar from founder member Tom Ashton… the strikingly, scary, esoteric beauty of Rosie Garland… The songs clatter and grind around the drum machine and their powerful fug fills the room.” – John Robb, Louder Than War

Once Upon A Leeds, 1981. The March Violets strum their first riff and scrawl their first set list. Their impressive post-punk legacy stretches from 1980s BBC John Peel sessions, indie chart successes Radiant Boys EP, Grooving in Green, Snake Dance and Turn to the Sky (featured in the John Hughes movie, Some Kind of Wonderful), all the way to the 21st century reunion, headlining festivals across Europe & the USA

Palindrones + Infra Violet + IAmImperfect + Distant Figures
2025-07-12 19:30 - 23:30 | The Pipeline, Brighton, 6 Little East Street, Brighton, BN1 1HT
A night of live Industrial, Synthpop, Goth, darkwave and Indie pop music

Palindrones

Palindrones is a dark electronic music duo from London. They produce dreamy, Industrial Synthpop, crafting immersive musical landscapes that mix pounding beats and blistering synth drones with a lush, hypnotic ambience, subtle pop melodies and haunting, esoteric lyrics, drawing the listener into a dream-like reverie. Born in the London DIY punk scene, this ethos is carried into their frenetic live shows, evoking the energy of a rock gig and the pulse of a trance club. Palindrones’ shows have captivated audiences all across the UK, sharing the stage with Synthpop legends A Flock Of Seagulls, NNHMN, Deep Forest, Auger, Je’Taime, KNIGHT$, Children On Stun, In Strict Confidence and Beborn Beton.

Infra Violet

Infra Violet are an Indie-pop duo based in Brighton, UK. A collaboration between DIY singer-songwriter Beth’s tapping fingerstyle guitar and raw soulful vocals, and producer Toby Campen’s 80’s & 90’s inspired synth playing and atmospheric soundscapes.

IAMIMPERFECT

IAMIMPERFECT are based on the Northern England City of Sheffield and are Paul Jackson (Vocals, Synths and Programming) and Kelly Dorset (Guitars).

Aiming to do things differently after the ending of the Paul Venkman project, Paul threw it all away and began on a series of new tracks aiming for something less guitar based and more synth based. Things took a bit of a side step when he asked Kelly, guitarist from The Way Of All Flesh to try contributing some guitar lines to the new tracks and suddenly there was a project ready to go.

Their sound is sophisticated electronica with distorted guitars and soaring emotional vocal harmonies telling stories of the heart and head.

Our sound system managed to scrape through our last George 2nd night with only a few scratches, but we’ve patched the holes and are working to bring back better sound to truly do justice to our bands and DJs!

We’ve got some great acts for your enjoyment, from Lilac Underworld’s mystical, musical melodies followed by IAmImperfect with their simultaneously heavy and rhythmic backing, fronted by a spacey use of synths and vocals, before we bring the bands to a rush, getting lost in Palindrones titular droning audio vistas.

Once we deign to grant the bands their contractually obligated break (or we’d have them keep going indefinitely), we’ve got our three DJs, all faces we’ve seen -and loved- before, with DJs Aden, Proxy23 and UncleFilthy, delivering a wide range of goth and alt tunes until such time as the pub decide they’ve had enough of us!

Bring your friends, bring your family, hell, bring your colleagues. Even if they hate the music, sit them in the beer garden and they’ll love the atmosphere! We’ll bring our best as ever, and keep going until the universe itself tells us to stop!
