BOSPHORUS: Glaswegian post-metal/sludge, you should know them by now. Guitarist/singer Stuart Teager made that guitar himself, y'know.

OHHMS, IVORY BLACKS, GLASGOW, AUGUST 7 2021

 Venue: IVORY BLACKS, GLASGOW

This was a weird one. First post-Covid gig,and we were still operating under some restrictions. Audiences had to be seated, drinks were table service only. Volume was restricted, because apparently viruses like loud noises. Seeing a band like OHHMS under those circumstances was very odd indeed, but it was still good to be back. 

Restrictions were fully lifted very soon after this.

Line-up:

OHHMS: Progressive doom, with psych/stoner overtones, from Kent.

BOSPHORUS: Local sludgy post-metal trio,very popular.And rightly so.

SLOTH METROPOLIS: Eccentric sloth-obsessed proggy art-rockers, featuring swirly capes and papier-mache masks.

BOSPHORUS, OPIUM, EDINBURGH, MARCH 1 2019

Venue: OPIUM, EDINBURGH 

Promoter: RED CRUST PROMOTIONS

Line up: 

WOLF SERMON. Local death/doom 4-piece. Are they still active? I have no idea.

HAAR. More locals. Progressive black metal, usually shrouded in dense fog. But not this time,

NAISIAN. Yorkshire post-metally sludge. Sadly inactive at this time, I believe. Maybe permanently. Who knows?

BOSPHORUS. Glaswegian post-metal/sludge, formed from the ashes of WHAT THE BLOOD REVEALED. Now includes wildly gurning drummer.
