CARPATHIA / MAELSTROM / DIONYSUS / NOVELLA
Carpathia - Black/Thrash/Prog metal from Coventry. / Maelstrom: An intriguing proposition of doom inflected black metal with a strong Celtic influence. Obvious influences include Bathory & Emporer, but as the rasping black vocals & punishing riffs give way to acoustic Scots folk passages, touches of Opeth begin to show through. / Dionysus: One of the most original & impressive bands in Scottish metal, Dionysus combine rasping blackened vocals with a seemless blend of aggressive & melodic metal backed up by stirring keyboard harmonies. Epic, majestic, symphonic - this is a band you must hear - NOW! / Novella: 5 Piece metal band from Glasgow with influences from a wide range of styles including black / melodic / death / doom and power & fantasy inspired lyrics.

CINDERS FALL / THE PUNCHLINE IS MURDER / BLEED FROM WITHIN
Cinders Fall: "A new kind of brutality is arriving...." Southend Cinders Fall play host to a mixture of vocal styles, predominantly making use of higher pitched-screaming lyrical bursts with touches of low, doom style growls and sung melody. / The Punchline Is Murder: an ear-splitting, caustic combination of abrasive metal, hardcore, and jazz fusion often borders on virtuosic and is laden with shifting, jagged time changes and squealing, grating riffs which overflows with raw human emotion and unconventional sounds. / Bleed From Within: Bleed from within have uniquely blended both serious metal riffage with crucial beatdowns - brutal Glasgow outfit.

SCURGE / THE DEADITES / SANGUINUS / ANTIFAITH
SCURGE formed in 1999 as a backlash to the industrial wastelands of their hometown of Kettering , Northants. in the midlands of the UK. Originally a 4 piece, they amazed local audiences with their unique brand of groove-laden alcohol-fuelled rock 'n' roll, inciting comparisons to many hardcore and sludge bands of the time, they went on to tour extensively with the likes of Raging Speedhorn and Defenestration, which led to further national tours with bands such as Napalm Death, Kittie, Stamping Ground, Underule, Freebase, Dukes of Nothing, The Wildhearts, Viking Skull etc. By this time they were being recognised by the national press and had secured reviews in major publications such as Kerrang!, Rock Sound and Metal Hammer. At the end of 2001 they recorded the now infamous 'Devil in Miss Jones' for the Kerrang covermount cd, 'Incoming Sounds of 2002' and were also featured on a Rock Sound cover cd with a rendition of 'Glasseye'. 2002 also saw them recording for their first release, a split ep with Defenestration featuring two tracks from each band, called 'Year of the Slug'. This was produced by Simon Efemy (Napalm Death, Pantera, ) and Russ Russell (The Junket) and released on Snapper Records to rave reviews. Touring followed by a spell holed up in the studio writing and recording was interrupted when , in 2003, they recruited a new member, Jez (ex-Charger) on second guitar. This gave the band a new depth and live presence, and they set to work writing new material. They recorded a mini album of 8 tracks, (of which the masters were later lost!) before signing a deal with a new independent label, 'Jaunty Records'. They went on to record their latest release, 'Cat with the 45 Calibre Claw' at Framework Studios in Birmingham, produced by Bag (Napalm Death, Cathedral, Charger). Recent developments last year include touring, with dates throughout the Uk, Malta and Ireland, and airplay on Radio 1 Rock Show. Also, toward the end of 2004, Jez left the band to be replaced by Dave's brother Jay Thompson (ex-Defenestration) who currently also plays guitar for Raging Speedhorn. Scurge are currently putting the finishing touches to a new mini album, due for release later this year "Their rabid, filthy sludgecore now has sufficient dynamics to set them apart from their peers, and there is a manic energy in the vitriolic grooves that borders on indecently thrilling... If you want your face kicked off, you know where to go." DOM LAWSON - KERRANG! 4K!'s / "Scurge are faster, uglier and more brutal. Pure sludge metal raised on a diet of whiskey and woodbines" - KERRANG! / "Scurge sound like the tasmanian devil with his knackers caught in an electric mangle. ON CRACK!" - METAL HAMMER / "Scurge are here to pack a punch straight into the underbelly of Brit-rock" - ROCK SOUND / "...with classic rock riffs that sound like Deep Purple being put through a shredder, covered in phlegm, then belted out by Motorhead" - KERRANG! 4K!'s / The Deadites - EVIL THRASH METAL!!! / Sanguinus - "Sanguinus are bastions of a new brutality. Injected with the blood of Pantera and Children of Bodom, Meshuggah and Machine Head, we take the already rotting corpse of "scando-core" and fuck it up to such an extent that you won't know what's hit you." / Antifaith - High energy riff-driven Heavy Metal noise.
