RITES OF SOLACE We would like to invite you to take part in the Rites of Solace, a night of immersive heaviness and deep atmosphere. Join us as the bands of the night guide you through ritualistic soundscapes, crushing intensity, and moments of reflection. THRAKIAN (UK / Post-Metal) Cardiff-based Thrakian unleash an explosive fusion of post-metal intensity and sludge-laden atmosphere, rooted in ancient philosophy and mythology. Thrakian have been steadily carving out a name in the UK underground with their compelling sonic narratives and electrifying live presence. VÁTHOS (Ro / Post-Black Metal / Atmospheric) Hailing from Bucharest, Romania, Váthos will deliver their blend of post-black metal and sweeping melody for the first time in UK. Æl-Fierlen (UK / shoegaze Black metal) Æl-Fierlen are a four-piece band based around East Anglia who fuses black metal and shoegaze together like the branches of the oldest tree in the forest. The name of our band is an Anglo Saxon phrase meaning, "All Is Far Away," which is also the title of debut album, released September 2025. Prepare for a journey through shadowy textures and fierce and heartfelt expression! Start: 7pm
