KING WITCH, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, MARCH 5 2022

 A trio of local bands,various shades of rock/metal. King Witch were a man down for this gig and asked me not to post any video. So there's no King witch video.

Line-up:

KING WITCH: Classic doomy rock. Sadly without their bass player tonight,but they still sounded pretty solid to me.

BLACK TALON: Old school thrash, includes studded wristband.

UNDER-VOLT: An early appearance of new kids, Jed and Vini. Not entirely sure what exact flavour of rock this is, so let's just say 'rock'...
