HELLRAISER NIGHT, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, MAY 12 2023

 A monthly club at the Banshee Labyrinth, offering a selection of  rock'n'metal of all kinds. 

Line-up: 

SOLAR SONS: Hairy man-metal from Dundee. They've been around for ages and, consequently, know their trade inside out.Tight as the proverbial duck's cloaca.








DREAD PERSEPHONE: Not sure what to make of these lads... They LOOK like art school students playing at being in a band with a nu-metal singer. Several of them sport appallingly bad shirts. They SOUND like a progressive metal band, borrowing heavily from their dad's Tool-box. They play a couple of covers - RATM's 'Bullet in the Head and, indeed, Tool's 'The Pot'. They are a lot better than they look. They have a number of enthusiastic and dedicated fans who appear from nowhere when they start and vanish as quickly when they're done. 














MAIN PRIMATE: From callow youths to grizzled veterans - the newest project of  local legends Michael Branagh and Robert Fairfoull, with Hugh Duggie of Sons of the Descent/Foil and another fellow on guitar who I can't place, but I'm sure he's lovely anyway. He might have been in Lowlife. They do a grungy post-punk kind of thing and they're rather fine.

Sludge, chaos and riffs. I'm guessing that NOTAFLOF is not some kind of Pokemon, but means 'No one turned away for lack of funds...
