Surya//Sonance//Torpor at The Cube

A gig held at The Cube on Friday 24th January. The event starts at 19:30.


Vestigial Bristol and The Cube Microplex joined together to set up a unique experience of live-projected Doom - Postmetal - Sludge. Featuring 3 of the best acts of the UK's underground scene.  Sūrya https://surya-band.bandcamp.com/ This London based four-piece performed at Desertfest earlier in the year and recently released 'Solastalgia' via Argonauta Records. The band’s brand of atmospheric post-metal is driven by solemn riffs and gloomy percussion. Their music is equal parts the torrential heaviness of bands like Corrupted (Jap) and Neurosis, with shades of Amebix’s desolate crust and the heart-rending atmospherics of Wolves In The Throne Room. SONANCE https://sonance.bandcamp.com/ Sonance have forged a path of their own, always uncompromising and destined to produce distinct, challenging records at every turn.  Their most recent release 'To Possess You Entirely’ fuses the experimentation of Grails and Godspeed You! Black Emperor with the nihilism of Eyehategod and frayed nerve rage of Today is the Day. In just 40 minutes, Sonance switch seamlessly from delicate refrains of chamber orchestras to harsh, shrieking, distorted noise. Diatribes on depression, alcoholism, alienation and sociopathy collude with overwhelming surges of distortion and ritualistic percussion to remove what little hope is left. An expression of pure misanthropy. Torpor https://torpornoise.bandcamp.com/ Merciless hardcore sludge from London. This band has the ability to switch from harsh abrasive noise to dark ambiance, both of which will crush your soul. Musically they have been described as post metal, doom, sludge, even industrial at times. However you try and pigeon hole them, they will twist that classification and make it their brutal own.
