The Spiel
A Pilgrimage in Sonic Mayhem. A full day of some of the UK’s best heavy underground artists. SLOMATICS Formed in Belfast late 2004, Slomatics have developed a singularly identifiable style. Fostering a sound that soars at least as much as it crushes. A sci-fi backdrop casts a duly futuristic theme around which their material is based, and as they offer lumbering tones and massive, wilful slogs of doomed riffs, they complement that grooving clarion with a sense of space that is all their own. https://slomatics.bandcamp.com… THE GREY Instrumental three piece, signed to Majestic Mountain Records. “Cambridge post-metallers The Grey make (largely instrumental) music that weighs down like few others – marrying the pummelling feel of a band like Neurosis or Karma To Burn to big themes with striking nuance and colour.It’s truly awesome.” https://thegrey2.bandcamp.com/… BILECASTER 3-piece Negative Sludge Metal https://bilecaster.bandcamp.co… MOUNTAINSCAPE Instrumental post-metal. Blending elements of post-rock, black metal, doom, sludge and ambient in a filmscore inspired way. https://mountainscapeuk.bandca… CONCRETE SHIPS Post hardcore noise, Lincoln UK https://concreteships.bandcamp… WAHEELA Newcastle experimental/post noise… https://waheela.bandcamp.com/a… POHL Local experimental noise rock, heavy, raw sound mixing sludge, doom, and garage psych, they released their debut album, Mysteries, in 2024 via Wrong Speed Records. https://pohl.bandcamp.com/ SLÜGFÜT Birthed from a primordial mire of fuzzy rock, glistening in the blackening sunlight of day!
