Appearing:
Employed To Serve
Employed To Serve are born out of a time where it felt like their generation had given up on their hopes and aspirations. The music is abrasive and unforgiving but the band have a continuing positive theme present in the lyrics throughout their releases, trying to better yourself instead of getting stuck in the groundhog day of a miserable, mundane existence. The band is about striving to achieve with a belief that something good will come from our generation's lifetime.

VOWER
VOWER is a new project formed by British musicians Rabea Massaad (Toska, The Totemist), Josh Mckeown (Palm Reader), Rory McLean, Joe Gosney and Liam Kearley (both formerly of Black Peaks). With a combined experience of over a decade playing together in various bands, they've forged a deep creative connection. VOWER allows them to explore uncharted territories in heavy music, a space where experimentation reigns and pure musical joy takes centre stage. Their music is a powerful blend of post-rock’s atmospheric soundscapes, progressive metal's expansive structures, and the raw energy of post-hardcore. It's a sonic journey that throws off limitations and dives headfirst into the unknown. VOWER represents the immense potential that arises when passionate musicians come together, a promise to keep pushing boundaries and deliver ever-evolving, powerful music.

Cage Fight
Originally started as little more than a bedroom project by TesseracT guitarist James Monteith and long-time friend and collaborator, bassist / MC Jon Reid, by their own admission Cage Fight were simply a project to unleash some frustration, and nostalgic tribute to the music of their youth, bands like Slayer, Terror, Hatebreed, Biohazard and Stampin’ Ground. Quickly, though, the idea began to grow legs, as they shared the music they’d made among friends, and they realised it was too good not to do something more permanent with. Bringing in drummer Nick Plews, Cage Fight were completed in February 2021 by the addition of singer Rachel Aspe, a French national who James met eight years ago when TesseracT and her former band Eths crossed paths. Spotting her doing a Black Dahlia Murder vocal cover on Instagram – via a post by that band’s singer Trevor Strnad, who himself appears on the track Eating Me Alive - James invited her in, and the band were complete. The result is one of the most furious and angry hardcore records to emerge from the UK in years.
