BACCHUS PRESENTS: THROES & ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE

THROES
Described by Kerrang! as one of the "most heavy, bleak, lightless doom bands on Earth," Throes venture over from Idaho to conquer the UK with their apocalyptic pals. Drawing on metallic hardcore, sludge and doom, Throes are a crushing force renowned for their relentless heaviness and visceral live performances. Fresh in the wake of their new album, 'The Colorless Light of Emptiness' (Church Road Records, 16th October), Throes' rare UK appearance is not one to be missed.

ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE
Dissonant, melancholic, aggressive. Armed for Apocalypse bring crushing, sludge-infused post-metal to Moor this October. With decades of experience in the game, AFA show that they are very much still at the forefront of heavy music with the release of their fourth full-length album, 'THE EARTH IS BREATHING BENEATH ME,' on Church Road Records. The Oregon-based outfit promise pure devastating and monolithic noise.
