DOOM OVER LONDON V: Final Preparations Underway
March 31, 2015
With just under a week to go beforeDOOM OVER LONDONconjures a black cloud over the capital, the finishing touches have been put to the one day festival.
Unfortunately, Pombagira have been forced to pull out of the event due to a family emergency. Luckily for attendees, FEN have agreed to step into their not-insignificant shoes at short notice and will be bringing their no nonsense, heads down progressive metal leanings to proceedings.
Now in its fifth year,DOOM OVER LONDONbrings together both up and coming new bands, as well as long standing favourites - all tied together by a common thread of doom. For the first time, the event will take place in its new home at legendary north London venue, The Dome.
The full line up for the event is:
Asphyx- A UK exclusive for the Dutch legends, it will be their first time on British soil since their reformation.
Draconian- A hypnotic soundtrack of apocalyptic proportions. First time in the UK.
Forgotten Tomb- The band will be airing songs from their as yet untitled new album for the first time in the UK.
Isole- Swedish doom by the bucket load, and with new album 'The Calm Hunter' just released, Isole are ready to return to UK shores.
October Tide- Formed as a side project by original members of Katatonia, October Tide perform the essence of death doom metal. First time in the UK.
Serpent Venom- Huge walls of achingly slow, punishing doom sets the tone.
Funeralium- The French extreme doom metallers will be making their first UK appearance.
Witchsorrow- A new album is expected later this year from this heavy, heavy doom trio.
Death Penalty- Another exclusive; this will be the first UK show for the band that features ex-members of Cathedral and Serpentcult.
Fen - bleak, blackened, progressive metal from three piece from London
Khost- A chilling, industrial doom soundscape, painting a sonic journey into madness and despair.
Uncoffined- The aural equivalent of a dark haunting unholy sinister figure lurking amongst the shadows and graves of an overgrown old graveyard that no one dares to enter at night.
Crypt Lurker- Monolithic and crushing, all at once;this is a band that's fierce, really gloomy and has the heavy abrasiveness to rub the flesh from your bones.
