Birmingham's INFESTED ANGEL bring their blackened death metal back to The Gryphon. Infested Angel have been forging a path through the UK and European death metal scenes since 2019, blending bleak lyrical themes with a blackened sonic edge.

In 2025, the band released their full-length debut Threnodies to Eternal Despair (2025), a record that deepened their exploration of despair and existential rage, to rapturous reviews. Infested Angel has toured Northern Europe with Vader and Toxaemia, and supported Atheist and Origin on the Piece of Time anniversary run, earning a reputation for intense, stripped-back live shows that cut through the noise with precision, purpose and a distinctive mournful melodic sensibility. Their gig at the Gryphon will follow a legendary tour in Japan with Cryptopsy. For fans of death and black metal, Infested Angel will not be one to miss.

In the wake of their debut EP 'Invoking Thy Eternal Reign of Torment', the band cement their reputation of unyielding aggression and showcase their riff-heavy, feral brand of death metal. For fans of harsh, uncompromising music.

Bristol's own OSKARIA bring their cavernous doomy death metal to The Gryphon. Entering their second year of gigging, the Cthulhu-worshipping three-piece Oskaria are already known for delivering eye-catching live shows. Expect crushing riffs, hard-hitting drums and the most guttural of growls. Their 2025 EP 'The Cult of Cthulhu' will be sure to win over anyone not yet aware of the doom trio rising from the deeps.
