HAMMER, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, DECEMBER 12 2025

HELLRAISER metal night at the Banshee, in which our headliners will play their new album in full. And, indeed, my 42nd and last gig of the year.

Talking of which, I know it's not important, but how should I count the number of gigs? Do three day fests count as one gig or three? Does a one day fest over two venues count as one gig or two? Not questions that are going to keep me awake at nights, but just wondering...



Line-up:

PICT: Gloomy Glaswegian blackish melodic death kinda thing. Dead good, actually. despite ot being their drummer's first ever gig with them. I shall buy one of their little square patches, only three quid. I'm too old to wear a 'battle jacket', but I AM prepared to establish the battle camera bag as a METAL thing.

BOZ: Didn't show up. No idea why.

CATALYSIS: Dundee's 'ten-testicled metal bulldozer', apparently. So, barring some kind of medical anomaly, that works out at two each. In other words, five blokes. Playing a burly species of groove. thrash metal with spiky guitars - think Pantallica, and you'll not be far from the Catalysis sound.

VERMINTHRONE: Bruising sludge-core from Buckinghamshire, Wherever THAT is.

HAMMER: Local heroes, promoting their recently released new album, 'TRAPPED', and taking some time out from their regular job wrasslin' hawgs*. Thunderous, pummelling metal.

* Just kidding. Or am I....?
