Reliquia + Hurtsfall + Mrs Frighthouse

Aatma, Manchester 1st Floor, 14-16 Faraday St, Manchester

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.

"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 […]

She Past Away + Actors

Gorilla, Manchester Whitworth Street West, Manchester

Night Terrors will be hosting a double-bill of She Past Away + ACTORS at Dalston's EartH Hall this September.

SHE 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.

ACTORS is a Canadian post-punk/darkwave band from Vancouver, formed in 2012 […]
