Monochrome returns to once again celebrate ugliness and excess. Set in the heart of Bristol, you'll find a diverse lineup of weirdo metal, gnarled punk and ear splitting noise, in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

We're shaking up the format for 2026 and moving to the legendary Exchange. We'll be taking over both floors and getting ugly until 2am.

GRAVE MIASMA - Death Metal
https://gravemiasma.bandcamp.com/
Grave Miasma represents the sonic exploration of the transcendental essence and nature of death. Pounding, abyssic Death Metal awaits

TJUVKOPPLA (SWE) - Powerviolence
https://tjuvkopplapv.bandcamp.com
A band built on lightning-fast (and sometimes not-so-fast) riffs, lyrics that veer between dumb and brilliant, and a generous helping of blast beats.

DUIVELSGROT (NLD) - Blackened Synth
https://duivelsgrot.bandcamp.com/
Raw black metal forcing itself unto electronic noise and industrial convulsions. A feverish nightmare where clowns transform into demonic unicorns. From the mind of GNAW THEIR TONGUES' Maurice de Jong.

LADY GAZA (CZH) - Fastcore
https://ladyxgaza.bandcamp.com/
A two-piece outfit from Prague, wreaking havoc on eardrums since 2021. Their songs are short, fast, and loud—driven by political bite and laced with a streak of nihilistic humour.

JAUNDICE (SCT) - Death Metal
https://jaundicedeath.bandcamp.com
Putrid death metal from the gutters of Glasgow. Brutal, pummelling, dysfunctional noise to yellow your mucous membranes and damage your liver.

SOFT ISSUES - Power Electronics
https://softissues.bandcamp.com/album/high-capacity-magazine
Power electronics, techno, speedcore, and rhythmic noise fused into a minimal yet corrosive sound. Their releases on Opal Tapes and Natural Sciences showcase this stripped-down, damaged approach at full intensity.

SKINTERN - Scum Rock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hVS7KXovBk
Repetitive, miserable, bloody, perverse project build on blood, spectacle, and excess. FFO Brainbombs and Drunk in Hell

SOPHROSYNE - Cyborg Industrial
https://sophrosyne1.bandcamp.com/album/scorpionic-ep
Sophrosyne is a cyborg industrial metal band born on the muddy banks of the Avon. An echo from a post-apocalyptic future where nothing remains but synthesizers, drum machines, and the undying spirit of heavy metal.

ATOMÇK - Grindcore
https://atomck.bandcamp.com/album/towering-failures
Grindcore veterans and pillars of the Bristol scene, Atomçk's sound rests on snares struck with relentless force, guitars cranked beyond reason, and vocal cords pushed well past their limits.

PISS DRINKER - Noisecore
https://pissdrinkernoise.bandcamp.com/
Piss laden and hectic noisecore, ft members of Distraxi, Ecotage, Uncertainty, Beheading, Acts Of Worship and Plague Pit

PROTEUS - Industrial Techno DJ
https://soundcloud.com/judith-klempner
Experimental electronics, underground industrial from past to present.
