MAMMOTHFEST PRESENTS: BRUTALITY WILL PREVAIL AND RAGING SPEEDHORD TO HEADLINE UPCOMING ACT BLEED AGAIN'S ALBUM RELEASE SHOW.
BRUTALITY WILL PREVAIL, RAGING SPEEDHORN, GIANTS AND MORE TO TAKEOVER THE ARCH IN BRIGHTON FOR A HIGH ENERGY ALL DAY EVENT ON MAY 6TH
Worthing metallers, Bleed Again have become Mammothfest favourites in recent years. So, to celebrate the release of the band's album, "Momentum", Mammothfest have set up an album launch show in conjunction with Bleed Again to make the occasion even more special.
Commonly the festival is known for bringing some of the best emerging metal acts to Brighton, but, Mammothfest is now dipping its toes into the world of hardcore by unleashing UK hardcore favourites Brutality Will Prevail and UK metal icons Raging Speedhorn on the south coast along with some of the best emerging acts in heavy music.
The event will take place at Brighton's Arch venue on May 6th, the same venue that Mammothfest 2017 will be held in October. The album launch show will be an all day showcase, giving you a choice of 18 bands spread across two stages.
Brutality Will Prevail, commonly known as BWP, is about to release their highly anticipated fifth studio album, "In Dark Places". This will be the band's second album to feature Louis Gauthier on vocals, formally of popular Brighton-based hardcore act Breaking Point. The Welsh outfit is known for producing a unique style of sludge-hardcore, adding to it their energy and aggression of metalcore. More importantly BWP deliver some of the best pit-starting grooves in UK hardcore. Expect a high- octane show.
Formed in 1998, Raging Speedhorn has a lot of experience under their belt as the band quickly established itself as a major presence within the UK's metal scene early on into their careers.The band's first single, "Thumper" was released in 2000, which received significant critical acclaim, then in 2001, Raging Speedhorn charted in the UK Singles Chart with "The Gush". As the main support to BWP, you can expect pounding bass lines and heavily distorted riff-thick riffs, all unleashed with a punishing effect.
Hardcore-punk outfit, Giants, which will follow an extensive European tour with Polar. The Essex and London-based punks released their debut album, "Break The Cycle" in 2016. The album pulled in praise for their fresh take on delivering a mixture of brutal nature and catchy hooks, unveiling influences from the likes of Bad Religion and Pennywise, to Comeback Kid and Gallows.
Bleed Again, the men of the hour who will be releasing their album, "Momentum" worldwide on SLIPTRICK RECORDS May 5th. Bleed again are Brighton heroes and fan favourites at Mammothfest. In 2016, Bleed Again delivered one of the most memorable sets of the weekend, in which they filmed their latest song and video for the melodic "Through The Eyes" and earned them one of the best crowd reactions of the whole festival. Having already supported the likes of Soil, Darkest Hour and Devil Sold His Soul with their reputation for blistering live sets, you don't want to miss them as they end their album launch UK tour with DEATH REMAINS on this day!
Also to play the main stage is London metal act Death Remains whose debut 2013 album, "Stand.Fight.Believe" received critical acclaim and have since built quite the reputation, with much hype about their anticipated sophomore album
Local act Up River have been delivering their angst-ridden hardcore punk since their formation in 2011. They have unleashed a number of demos and digital releases in that time span, which they have become revered for and gained an underground following. The band is heading out on a European tour next month (March) to tighten their grip on the hardcore scene!
Everest, a five-piece metalcore band from the South of the UK. They have been making their rising ascent since their first live show in 2013, by working their way up higher and higher to ensure they become headliners. They made a huge impact with their debut 2016 EP, 'Promise Me' and show they won't stop until they get to the next level.
Emotive hardcore act Bleak Falls from Worthing UK have been on a bit of a roller coaster as last year (2016) they played their first show after three years away from the scene before calling it a day for good, but now they are rising from the ashes once again in a special one-off comeback show?! (need to check this ' can't find much info on them ' do Steve know is this comeback show?!)
And the final act to grace the main stage is Operation Kino who describe themselves as post-hypnotic jazz cum punk ' I don't think anything else needs to be said!
Headlining the second stage is High Hopes from Reading UK. Since forming in 2012 they have become an unstoppable energetic live act, which has seen them share the stage with well-known acts such as Heart Of A Coward, Skindred, Emmure, Stick To Your Guns and Deez Nuts, as well as touring the world, across the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Japan and China, building a dedicated fan base in their path wherever they go, making them a very worthy headliner indeed!
The second stage also features the ever so chaotic Brighton based metallic hardcore act, The Mausoleum Trap. Expect erratic behavior and a vicious atmosphere erupting from the stage.
Sheffield bruisers Carbine are set to unleash chugging riffs, monstrous vocals and senseless brutality. The four piece has only been around since 2015, but they are already tearing up shows with the likes of Broken Teeth and Higher Power. Plus they have a video for "Violation" featuring Alex Teyen of Black Tongue
Seek Nothing is comprised of members from UK and Germany and together they create some light hearted hardcore music which they dub 'not so bad hardcore'. They are set to release their new EP 'No End In Sight' this year.
Murder Mile are a hardcore crossover thrash quartet from the UK. They released their monstrous debut EP, 'MMHC' in 2015 and have thankfully started working on their impending debut full length as of last year.
Negative Measures are a Hardcore Punk four piece hailing from Brighton. They haven't been on the scene long and only released their debut EP 'Demotivational Speeches' via Big Word Records last year (2016). Well known locally for sweaty energetic mental performances!
Another local act Skint Circus join the stage who have a unique sound which they describe as Nu Metal Punk Hardcore who again are known for delivering high energy shows.
Plus, Brighton-based post-hardcore five-piece Alaina Roar. They combine the lines between genres, mixing brute force and battering riffs with melodies that captivate.
To open the second stage is Gomorrah a deathcore six-piece who have recently just finished touring with Diabolus.
This massive show strongly highlights Mammothfest's statement to bring the biggest bands to Brighton whilst giving the local acts a platform to grow and play amongst established acts, especially in this extra special event that marks the album launch of one of the most exciting UK upcoming acts Bleed Again! Come and celebrate Bleed Again's new release and join in this mental party of big and smaller bands united as one all under one roof at The Arch which is the perfect location being central and along the seafront. You don't want to miss it!
