London town, this Saturday, East side of things, Hackney, E8, proper old school heavy rock, or shall we call it Metal? Split the difference and talk of nwobhm? This coming Saturday April 27th, old school heavy rockers Flamebearer launching their debut album Brazen with a show at nowhere else but Helgi’s Bar on Mare Street (ticket details)
Flamebearer, a blistering, power-fuelled beast of a four-piece so it is said, a heavy rock explosion.”Fresh, fired up and raring to go. Like a caged beast they are desperate and raging to tear up the scene!”.Nice line in W.A.S.P covers as well. Find more on Bandcamp
Support come from the rather impressive Trevor’s Head, “Quite possibly the most exciting thing to come out of Redhill in the last three centuries, Trevor’s Head markedly circle in three distinct orbits around stoner, punk and prog. Drawing from an intensely diverse pool of sound, the trio produce a fresh and sonically unique vibe within the UK’s heavy underground scene and beyond”, well that’s how they tell it, here’s their 2023 album, you judge for yourself, here’s their 2023 album, let them get under your skin… More via Bandcamp
Opening the massive three band bill and all the way from South of the river, are the “beautifully ethereal and as crushingly heavy as their name suggests Mountains, a band who will draw you in and hold you as long as they wish…”
Meanwhile, some more proper Metal… Lautrec’s Mena Gasoline sure must be peak proper no messing Heavy metal!
