Intersecting pagan ritualism with industrial choral alchemy, together they sculpt séances of sacred sound; igniting fires through walls of noise, voice, disjointed rhythm structures and intense ceremonial performance. https://www.instagram.com/salac.cult https://avonterrorcorps.bandcamp.com/album/sacred-movements PIPE DISCIPLES (AKA Hannah & Liv). Bristol's premiere electro-punk performance artists. Last seen at Slagheap's Rough Trade show! https://www.instagram.com/pipedisciples https://www.oliviaparr.com
