London Gig Guide 24/04/26

Whilst my personal life currently in tatters, it's been difficult to get my head together long enough to get a blog together. But its Friday, I'm suspended from work till fuck knows when so, going to hyper focus on this for a bit.

There are three straight nights of Thrash/Deathcore/Hardcore/Death Metal at the Dev. Symbyote are playing Friday and Sunday supporting 1986 with vocalist Dan’s other band the Slaughtering with whom he plays guitar. Saturday will be Thrash heavy with Halberd and the aptly named Thrash Mob along with one man battering machine Heart Ripper. And that's just the Dev...

As usual I may have missed a gig or two but feel free to give me a nudge if you know of something even if it's a few weeks from now. Just in case someone is actually reading this Deity and Devilry have a Go Fund me set up to raise money for a video they want to shoot for Cannibal Kombat. Check out their socials for details of how to get involved have your name in the Symphonic Metal history.

Next Saturday 02/05 Crowblind presents Higher State with Perpetual Paradox at Nambucca along with Karnivrous and Grifter. Tickets are £12 in advance on Skiddle. Its been good to see Nambucca open again and this a heavy as fuck lineup, they might need some new PA speakers after this one.

UK Death Dealers Present in association with London Metal Coalition: The Road to London Metal Pride. Signiture Brew, Haggerston 06/12/25

Gay Pride 2025 was the first ever London Metal Pride event, celebrating queer musicians in the scene. The Metal and Hardcore scenes have seen rise in non-binary, queer and trans folk in recent years so having a stage during the summers biggest LGBTQ+ event is as integral now as ever before. The event in 2025 was hosted by LMC member and Davghter Front-woman Izzy and showcases queer and queer aligned bands battling for a place for the 2026 London Metal Pride. Five bands compete (was six but one pulled out) with London True Trans Black Metal band Davghter as special headliners. But it’s the punters who will decide the outcome as each have been given a voting chip to be placed in ballot boxes after the fifth band finished. Opening contenders Scene It All delivered some punchy late 90s/early 00s nostalgic Emo Pop Punk. Doctor Black blend heavy Alt-Metal riffs with melodic hooks and fill the air with middle fingers as the audience is asked shout ‘fuck you’ whatever makes anyone...
