SONIC DISSONANCE, DAY 2, EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 16 2023

The mayhem continues. Sonic Dissonance Day 2 featured, perhaps, a more varied diet of extremity. Oddly, the second day was longer but I managed to see fewer bands.

Line-up:

EXTORT: Local extreme metal, with a stand-in bassist for tonight. He seems capable.

UIR: Atmospheric gaelic black metal, with a stand-in guitarist (Gerald from Gendo Ikari) for tonight, He seems capable. No pics, because it was very murky.

HEADLESS KROSS: Legendary sludgy stoners from Glasgow. Not with any stand-ins tonight.

WALLOWING: Extreme sludge/noise from, I believe, Leeds. Terrifying, but awesome. My favourite band of the weekend.

Many thanks to Bailey and Ali for having me along, and to Deano at Legends, Stu at Bannerman's and whoever it was doing sound at the Banshee (sorry, I don't think I ever saw who it was...) for hero-level knob-twiddling.
