Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry! Torpor sit at the unearthly apex of post-metal, doom and sludge - seismic bass rumbles, melancholic ambience, bleak spoken word, crushing noise, monumental riffs moving at a glacial pace. This is music for watching planets implode. For fans of: Conan, Neurosis, Aerosol Jesus, Thou, Divide and Dissolve."

TORPOR • www.torpornoise.bandcamp.com
No conversations discussing who are amongst the heaviest of the heaviest of UK metal acts can be complete without mentioning Bristol based sludge trio TORPOR. Over the past ten years this colossal band have been obliterating stages across the UK and mainland Europe, leaving behind an impressive discography along the way. Their new record via Human Worth sees the trio pushing at the limits of their earthy sound in all directions, fully realising their visceral and cinematic vision.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY • www.modern-technology.bandcamp.com
Sonically visceral and unrepentantly abrasive, London / Brighton duo Modern Technology are a cornerstone of the UK noise DIY scene, described by The Quietus as "so dense and ferocious, it's hard to believe the band consists of only two members." Celebrating the launch of their hotly anticipated second full-length 'Conditions of Worth' releasing 13th October via Human Worth – an impressive balance between the band's relentless energy and raw emotion, the record is undoubtedly their most impervious, and fragile work to date.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE MALEFIC GRIP • www.themaleficgrip.bandcamp.com
Anxiety-fuelled Industrial Sludge duo from Bristol, The Malefic Grip combine deep swathes of mechanised gloom with a snarky punkish attitude. FFO Godflesh, The Melvins and gory revolutionary fantasies.

18+ event.
A Gravy Train & BLG presentation.
