An evening of Black Metal and very spiky logos, brought to us by those fine people at WULFHERE PRODUCTIONS in, it seems, their first gig in Edinburgh. I have seen, I think, only one of these bands before.
Line-up:
NECROCRACY: 'A system where the dead are recognised as the ruling authority'. Can see how that might be awkward. Bleak, desolate and unsmiling black metal. Quite hard to pronounce. Zero banter.
NEFARIOUS DUSK: Old-school black metal duo, heavily influenced by Norwegian legends DARKTHRONE Once again, laughs in short supply.

OLD CORPSE ROAD: Atmospheric/symphonic black metal. Like a black metal soundtrack to a cheesy Hammer Horror movie about witches and pirates and zombies and zombie pirates. OTT and a bit silly, perhaps, but fun.

WOLFBASTARD: The aforementioned 'one band I've seen before'. Caught them at TEMPLE OF BOOM in Leeds in 2018, and described them as 'ferocious d-beat/black metal'. Have they changed? Let's see.
That'll be a 'no', then. More death/sludge than black metal, perhaps, but still ferocious. And rude. And very entertaining. (Called the singer of ND a 'Teemu Dannii Filth' Cheeky, but not entirely inaccurate)
