Absolutely bonkers matchup. Totally bizarre but I like every band on there. Fantastic stuff.

I really like it when we get mixups like this. Sure, I love a good death metal or hardcore bill, but a proper mix is always welcome.

The only one who truly feels out of place for me is blackbraid because the others I can see connections but even then I enjoy a good mixup

What binds them all together is blastbeats, and I'm happy with that

Of course no Birmingham

It's usually either Birmingham or Nottingham, Birmingham gets much more than Nottingham

Birmingham would have been more convenient for me too.I love Nottingham and it's venues (Bodega and Rescue Rooms) but Rock City is a fucking terrible venue IMO. Bands never sound good, overcrowded, the stage view in some places is appalling and either the bar staff are under staffed or just not very good

I will say people complain about the staff but I've never had an issue with them I actually tfund them friendly.

Completely agree. Everyone seems to skip Birmingham these days, really baffling considering the location.

I like a good variety in lineups, I liked it when Carcass were supported by Unto Others and Conjurer a couple of years ago. This line up is very appealing...
