"Warlock A.D. play some legitimately decent heavy metal which is thoroughly enjoyable, but their live performances are truly something to behold."

VANITAS:

Vanitas are rising fast in the UK heavy scene, bringing their unique blend of progressive metal and djent with orchestral elements that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Final Fantasy soundtrack; creating what they’ve coined ‘cinematic djent’.

Since their debut in 2022 the Birmingham 5-piece have wasted no time establishing themselves in the UK music scene with dynamic live performances supporting acts such as: Monuments, Voyager, Galactic Empire & Destrage, with a busy gigging schedule lined-up for 2024 including an appearance at Burn It Down Festival later this year.

Vanitas released their debut self-titled EP in 2022 described as “Periphery meets disney” (Musipedia of Metal) with critics claiming “a more polished and refined debut you may struggle to find” (Metal Noise).

Building on this momentum, Vanitas released a trio of singles in 2023: Eventum, Between Lune & Eden & Secrets to much success with international radio play, multiple 5-star reviews and a combined 35K views on their official music videos and 19K+ streams on Spotify in 2023.

In 2024, Vanitas return mature and dangerous, with a promise to deliver their heaviest releases yet. Setting the scene; single releases ‘Grey Morality’ & ‘Lies’ quickly gained an exciting reaction reaching a combined 37K views on their respective music videos with over 9K streams and over 1K monthly listeners on spotify. Vanitas continue to build their momentum with their single ‘E.D.G.’ OUT NOW.

SILK SPINSTER:

After kicking off their live shows on the music scene in 2021, SILK SPINSTER has performed for RAF military personnel on an East Yorkshire airbase, as well as countless shows for different Motorcycle Clubs, and music festivals. More recently, the band have also performed with several national and international touring artists such as VICTORIOUS, MOTHER VULTURE, LIBERTY SLAVES and US based CONTORTION. In 2023 SILK SPINSTER performed in Bloodstock’s Metal 2 The Masses, earning themselves a spot in the finals in the competition. SILK SPINSTER’s music has been featured across several local and international radio stations, including HRH Radio.

​SILK SPINSTER’s live shows have been elevated in recent times. Whilst there has always been an air of ‘theatrical’ in their performances, in 2023/24 they have revamped themselves as post-apocalyptic freedom fighters, bringing armour, banners, weapons, flags and sigils to each of their gigs, making it an exciting time to be a “Web Warrior”. Through their music and showmanship crowds can enjoy the songs, the show, and the camaraderie that is created by the SILK SPINSTER clan.
