Darkness over Bristol at The Gryphon
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Remember those dark dark days before Black City? Shudder. Rise again from that nightmare past with this black metal birthday bacchanal ft. the UK’s most brutal outfits: epic and atmospheric Lichfield accolytes Saarkoth, buzzsaw raw Wulfhere standard-bearers Úlfarr and Bristol’s feral fantasy heroes Blasfeme."
