WATERLINES LIVE!   NEW CROSS INN LONDON 7TH SEP   THE DEVIL'S DOG DIGBETH 8TH SEP   VORFEST @VORTEX WAKEFIELD 9TH SEP

WE ARE WATERLINES

UK dutty, WATERLINES are a dynamic 4-piece metalcore band hailing from the North West and Yorkshire, ready to take the UK metalcore scene by storm. Formed in 2022, WATERLINES are quickly gaining recognition for their unique blend of metalcore, nu-metal and EDM party vibes.

Listen now, on Spotify

WATERLINES were born from former band Sertraline in November 2022. Vocalist Benji Mars said:

"When I started with the band in March 2022, we knew we wanted to explore a different direction and find our horizon. I guess at the time we didn’t really understand what that meant, but when “Halo Around the Horns” was born and we started to tweak it, we knew this wasn’t Sertraline anymore. We explored our options and had more than a few conversations about how we felt, but when we played it live, we knew there and then that what was Sertraline, would become WATERLINES." WATERLINES have wasted no time in making their mark on the music scene with a number of brand new single releases: Halo Around the Horns, KÖNIG, Prey and Anti Human, a 100% moshpit success rate to date, and prior to the name change, featured at festivals including Takeover at Download Festival, TechFest and Radar.

In August 2023 they headlined the Jagermeister Stage at Bloodstock Festival to riotous acclaim. A jam packed tent and heaving bodies resulting in a bent King pole, and with punters and journalists writing about their set being stand out and amongst their favourite of the whole weekend.   As they look to the future, WATERLINES have their sights set on bigger things. They are gearing up for lots more live appearances in 2024 and are writing and recording songs for their debut EP.

Botch have announced a 2024 UK and European headline tour.

The legendary Washington metalcore crew – vocalist Dave Verellen, guitarist David Knudson, bassist Brian Cook and drummer Tim Latona – will be crossing the pond one last time in March, stopping off in the UK for three shows as well as playing plenty of mainland dates either side.

“We are really grateful to have the opportunity to be back in the UK,” enthuses Dave. “Playing in Europe has always been a highlight for us, very stoked to have one last run over there. Let’s melt some fucking faces!”

“Going back to tour the EU and UK with Botch is absolutely the fulfilment of a multi-decade dream of mine,” adds Tim. “We’re so excited to share our music again with all of our fans!”

Catch Botch at the following:

8 Prague, CZ – Meet Factory 9 Vienna, AT – Arena 10 Chemnitz, DE – AJZ 12 Berlin, DE – Festsaal Kreuzberg 13 Copenhagen, DK – Vega 14 Hamburg, DE – Uebel & Gefährlich 15 Brussels, BE – Botanique 17 Wiesbaden, DE – Schlachthof 18 Esch-Sur-Alzette, LUX – Rockhal 19 Paris, FR – Elysee Montmartre 21 Bristol, UK – Marble Factory 22 Manchester, UK – New Century Hall 23 London, UK – Electric Ballroom 25 Athens, GR – Gagarin 205

Botch: “It’s been so good to close things off properly, to write the ending to this story that we wanted to”

As young men at the turn of the millennium, Tacoma trailblazers Botch burned bright and fast, helping reshape heavy music but coming off the rails long before their genius was truly appreciated. Two decades later, with the end of a whirlwind reunion run looming, they look back and wonder at the beautiful carnage they’ve unleashed…

10 Up-And-Coming Metalcore Bands To Pay Attention To In 2023

• Owais 'Vitek' Nabi
• February 17, 2023
• 8 minute read

The music industry has recovered fully from the Covid crisis as 2022 came to a close. The renovation began in 2021, and it didn’t feel completely normal again until 2022. Since so much occurred in 2022, it felt like metalcore as a whole was once again in the spotlight and was beginning to infiltrate popular music for the very first time since Warped Tour (as far as rock and metal can be).

We hate it when magazines highlight bands who have been dominating the scene for a few years when we’re talking about new and emerging groups. Although they might not be headlining, they undoubtedly have their name known at the top echelons of the circuit. We put together a list of 10 up-and-coming metalcore groups who you might or may not heard of, but who have all made waves this year in different ways and deserve some recognition. Below are the Top 10 emerging metalcore artists for 2023.

Without further ado…

The Florida sunshine state is home to the heavy metalcore band Grieve. If you’re familiar with Florida metalcore, you know how insane the downtempo/down-tuned scene is and how it produces some of the best bands, Grieve included.

The band’s initial releases came out in 2018, but we think the year 2022—the year their EP “Empty, Like Me” was released—is when they really upped their game. Songs like “Erase Me” and the album’s title tune “Empty, Like Me” show off the band’s inventive songwriting skills and how incredibly vicious they are. They are undoubtedly a favorite around here, so we chose to show them a little love.

Stain the Canvas

Stain the Canvas, which was founded in 2019, has been creating some fairly substantial impacts in the scene. The band, which hails from Italy, has a classic emo metalcore sound with a modern twist. Despite the fact that they started in 2019, last year was unquestionably their year.

The Word Alive, Outline In Color, and perhaps the most startling guest appearance by Nick from Get Scared were just a few of the amazing songs and special guests the band released with the support of the InVogue Records crew. The band recorded a ton of singles before releasing “All Fine / eniF IIA”, their sophomore album, which featured songs like “Stolen Youth” and “Condemned”. The band, which is quickly gaining recognition, will embark on its biggest EU/UK tour on February 24 with Atilla.

Post-hardcore/metalcore band from New England is called Late 9, and this year they signed with our label since they really attracted our eye. The band received over five times as many streams in 2022 as they had the year before due to their increased popularity. 150k streams were earned through launching 3 singles for us this year, and the statistics are still rising.

They’ve been involved in the New England music scene, and 2023 looks to be even greater with more gigs and perhaps (just perhaps) a new EP. “Tidal Waves” and “Down Again” are two songs that have resonated with the audience and revived the 2010 post-hardcore vibe that few bands have really delved into. Among the groups with the greatest promise going into 2023 is Late 9.

Saving Vice

Staying in New England. Emo metalcore group Saving Vice hails from the northeast shore of the United States, namely the New England region. The band has been going strong since the beginning, but their big breakthrough single, a version of “Another Life” by Motionless in White, came out in 2020. Nonetheless, if you were involved in the metalcore scene in 2022, you’ll undoubtedly hear the term Saving Vice mentioned frequently when discussing the biggest bands of the year.

The band has been VERY active and just keeps getting bigger while touring nonstop. The Lil Xan tour fiasco comprising Saving Vice and Dropout Kings, who took things into their own hands and rescued a tour on their own, was a huge topic in 2022. The group has been very active in 2022, releasing a total of 7 songs, one of which was a joint effort with another group on this list! The song “White Rabbit“, which features one of our favorite choruses of 2022, is our particular favorite they released last year. Keep a look out since 2023 is rumored to be even larger for the band.

Patient Sixty-Seven

One of those amazing Internet bands, Patient Sixty-Seven, has just been churning out hits like Carlos Mortensen pulls out his bluffs in World Series of Poker, wagered on Brazilian casino sites . Don’t misunderstand this; the band isn’t at all a joke despite how far they have run with their online presence. This Australian band actually embarked on their first solo tour and NAILED IT.

With the premiere of their album “Wishful Thinking”, Patient Sixty-Seven, one of the top bands to accomplish this and produce some of the best music to break out, ranked #107 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums and #69 on the current hard music albums chart. The songs “Damage Plan” and “Dying to Watch”, which are both RIP, were written in conjunction with another band on this ranking, Saving Vice, by this band. They will be performing in the United States for the first time at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in 2023 (September 7-10), which is a big deal. We believe this will be one of the scene’s powerhouses in the following year.

We Were Giants

This one has been around for a while and never ceases to amaze us. Notably, the band broke a breakthrough with their rock rendition of “Hot Girl Bummer” in 2020, and in 2021, they recorded the historic version of “Welcome to the Black Parade”.

The band released an acoustic rendition of The Kid Laroi’s “Stay” and a reimagined version of their own song “The Reaper” in 2022 while still feeling the high from these songs. We Were Giants is a band that you will appreciate if you like amazing vocals mixed with a massive cinematic sound and crazy breakdowns. Another band with a record release on January 20th is predicted to have an uncontrollable 2023. Keep an eye out!

Our personal favorite band currently is Dreamwake, who has utterly blown us away and was our #1 band of 2022. Dreamwake is another New England-based band that blends progressive metalcore and synthwave. For those who are unfamiliar, synthwave is a musical genre that has a strong 80s neon look and is similar to 80s synthpop. When they played the breakdown from their song “Night Rider”, which features a saxophone, we first learned about Dreamwake on Tiktok and were instantly captivated like a fish.

We sincerely hoped they’d continue to make music in this genre as this was the first time they had used this blend in a song. The band’s EP “Virtual Reality”, which we rank as the best EP of the last year, was released in April 2022, as predicted. The album’s opening track, “Neon”, is arguably one of our favorites of all time, and their entire EP is oozing with Sax.

They headlined a gig at the Webster Theater in Connecticut in 2022 for the debut of this EP, which was a tremendous accomplishment for a band with no prior tour experience. The show sold out. They also shared a bill with ENOX, another band from this list who we’d heard did well with both fans and promoters. Dreamwake, in our opinion, is the upcoming big bang in the progressive metalcore scene and should be mentioned among acts like Invent Animate, Currents, and Erra.

Enox is THE band. They had long been the group with potential, but in 2021 they began to receive a little more attention. But, after releasing their debut album “Euphoria” and making use of social media sites like TikTok, the band took things into their very own hands and attracted a HUGE amount of attention. The group is currently the embodiment of the word “DIY”, hailing from Georgia. The band has performed as headliners on numerous tours across the nation in 2022, which has significantly increased both their fan base and industry interest.

The tremendous amount of momentum this heavy progressive metalcore ensemble has amassed will make them a powerhouse going into 2023. Fans love songs like “Radiance” and “Stacker”, but everyone who’s familiar with the band understands that “Blame Shift” is a smash. With 1.2 million streams, that song boasts one of the best breakdowns. We got to hear a few of the new songs they’ll be releasing in the coming year, and we can assure you that they are top-tier.

The Gloom in the Corner

With their contract to metalcore heavyweight label Sharptone Records and the publication of their album “Trinity”, The Gloom in the Corner, an established Australian band, upped their profile this year. We enjoy a good concept, and the band’s songs tell the tale of a fictional figure named “Sherlock Bones”, of which “Trinity” is the third episode.

The band has been making waves since its founding in 2017, as we mentioned, but given the recent power moves made in 2022, we think they’ll be making their global debut in the next year, rendering them one of the year’s most anticipated up-and-coming acts. Particularly at the gym, songs like “New Order” and “Pandora’s Box” have been played often. One of the most original and thrilling songs of 2022, “New Order”, which includes Taylor Barber of Left to Suffer, confirmed our faith in this band.

Dark Divine

Like Stain the Canvas, Dark Divine is a brand-new band on the InVogue labels roster. They stand out since they are essentially BRAND NEW. They only released one single in 2021, and all of their other songs, including their EP “Halloweentown”, were released in 2022. Their popularity is growing quickly among listeners and on the radio. With the Trinity of Terror tour being an enormous success, Dark Divine, which sounds like a cross between Ice Nine Kills and Motionless In White and adheres to a similar goth aesthetic, has been able to establish its own identity and wave in that genre of music.

With the publication of their EP, Octane on Sirius began playing their music on a daily basis. In 2022, the band also embarked on its first touring with the legendary band Famous Last Words. The band has a promising future in 2023 with the style that people are saying is what they expected MIW to sound like after “Creatures”, despite being relatively new to the scene and creating this much noise. They have a tour scheduled for the beginning of 2023 as direct support for the group Limbs. According to how things are developing, Dark Divine is on track to become the leading up-and-coming act in the darker subgenre of metalcore.

Metalcore as a genre seems fun and new again for the first time in a while. In a DIY way that is proving to be quite successful, new bands are bursting through the scene, and old bands emerging of “retirement”. Metalcore is expanding quickly once more, just like it did in 2010. This includes undiscovered artists from the very top to the very bottom.

The scene is still featuring some of the bands who made 2010 so unique, which is very wonderful, but new talent is also laying the foundation for the revival. Now that there are far more bands than just ten that are breaking ground in the scene, we suggest digging deep to find out who’s active and on the rise in your local scenes. You never know who or where the next big artist is about to emerge.

GROUNDBREAKING METALCORE

"Vivacious, provocative, eclectic and melodic - Electron have produced an electrifying album that's sure to defy all negativity! "

– PowerPlay Magazine

Location: London Founded: 2022 Genre: Alt Nu/Metalcore Label/DSP: Earache Distro

"Hollow" is a visceral odyssey through the human psyche, encapsulating raw emotions and existential struggles -delves into profound emotional desolation, a relentless search for meaning amidst emptiness. The collective narrative paints a mosaic of human experience, from the edges of despair to the hollow cores within. The sonic landscape, from intense rhythms to poignant lyrics, refuses to shy away from the complexities of emotion. Each track is a chapter in a larger exploration of existence, where themes of struggle, rebellion, emptiness, and longing intertwine. 

"Hollow" stands as a testament to the power of music to capture the depth and breadth of the human condition, inviting listeners into a cathartic journey through the highs and lows of emotion. It is an unapologetic expression of the complexities that define our existence, forging a connection through shared vulnerabilities and the relentless pursuit of meaning.”

Six Reasons Why Going To Gigs Alone Is The Best

So you want to go see that metalcore band you love but none of your friends like that “shouty” music? Or you REALLY want to go check out that new artist on TikTok you discovered but all your mates won’t go to a gig where they only know one song? Or worse, your group of friends cannot get themselves organized and work out which show and when to go on a tour, so you’re worried you’ll miss out on tickets. Let them be miserable and start living your best life by going to concerts by yourself. Trust us, it’ll be the best thing you’ll ever do!

Going to gigs alone can be daunting. What am I going to do with myself in between sets? Are people going to think I’m weird? Why would I not want to share the experience?

Listen, we are all for sharing the experience, but sometimes it’s either missing out or going alone, and in those cases we definitely recommend going alone. Here’s a few reasons why you’ll never regret it once you build up the courage to go through with it.

1 . See artists you really REALLY want to see

Imagine the FOMO of missing your favourite band on their new tour, hearing all those new songs live, seeing everyone post about it. Don’t let that happen, and get that ticket. Plus you then get to tell the pals who didn’t want to come how you saw that band or artist before they blew up or how they played that one B-side track that everyone loves – now who has FOMO?

2. Meet new friends

It’s no secret that music brings people together. That moment when everyone’s favourite ballad hits and there’s not a dry eye in the building, you turn to your left or right and suddenly you bond with a stranger over your favourite song. For the metalheads, we also recommend mosh pits, follow the rules of the pit but what a way to make new friends!

3. The freedom

Now hear us out – but going to a gig alone means you can get to the venue when you want, you can go to the loos when you want, you can stand in line at the merch for hours and no one will ask if you’re sure you want to wait. And no one will drag you home when you want to wait after the show has finished and find every piece of confetti or ask for the setlist.

4 . It’s a cult

You are not alone in going to gigs by yourself, you’d probably be surprised by how many people do the same thing. Some fan groups even have entire sub cultures of going to gigs alone (shoutout to Frank Turner’s solo armada, we see you!) – bringing us back to reason #2, new friends.

5. Confidence boost

Going to a gig by yourself will do wonders for your confidence. Sure the first time might feel a bit awkward and weird, but isn’t it always? Remember your first day of school? And then it was kind of okay after a while (let’s ignore our teenage years…) Once you’ve done it and experience all of the divinity of a solo gig you’ll feel free as a bird.

6. Experience the music your way

Whether you love hanging out by the bar, need to be front row, prefer seats or want to leave a bit earlier to catch the last train – the world is your oyster! The experience is yours, you don’t need to coordinate with someone else, rely on them to enjoy the show as much as you are and have as much of a good time as you are. And frankly, if you took a chance on a new genre or new artist and it isn’t your vibe, you can just go home. Glorious.

So there you have it – doesn’t sound too bad now does it?! At the end of the day it all comes down to you and your artist, a concert will always be a shared experience whether with strangers or friends. The most important thing to do is have fun.

Your next gig awaits

It all starts here.

Create memories to last a lifetime

Whether it’s your favourite band, an evening with friends, discovering new artists or the seventh show on the tour, we are your go-to home for all things live music.

Don’t miss out on the biggest announcement and keep checking back for latest news and last chance tickets.

11 Bands Shaping Metal in the U.K. Right Now

Since metal’s inception, the U.K. has produced countless killer heavy bands that have defined generations: Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead and many others have thrilled us with their takes on the genre, continually refusing to conform and sticking a middle finger up to the masses in the process. But while Britain is home to some of metal’s finest legacy bands, there’s a multitude of talent that’s come through in the last decade or so, in the process taking heavy music to new places and onto the playlists of new listeners.

From ethereal prog to the extremes of death metal, here are the 11 bands defining the U.K.’s metal scene in 2019:

Hailing from San Jose, California, Mugshot first release came in 2016 with their album Dull Boy. Five years later, Mugshot made waves with their EP Empty Heaven, which garnered overnight success among metal and hardcore fans alike. Today, Mugshot is made up by drummer Connor Haines, guitarist Michael Demko, and vocalist Ringo Waterman.

Mugshot has proudly announced their signing to Pure Noise Records. The band expresses their excitement for this collaboration, acknowledging Pure Noise for releasing some of their all-time favorite records. Mugshot eagerly looks forward to achieving new heights under this new partnership.

Their latest EP, Cold Will, is a sonic journey meticulously crafted by the trials of life. Addressing profound themes such as abuse, depression, manipulation, trauma, and other existential struggles, the album navigates the tumultuous waters of human experience. The lyrical depth of the songs is complemented by dissonant riffs and frenetic drum patterns, creating a mental landscape of daunting thoughts and unfiltered aggression. Drawing inspiration from hardcore roots, Mugshot metal record is a relentless onslaught of chaotically heavy riffs, sudden tempo changes, and unbridled anger, all converging into a powerful and definitive statement.

Cold Will serves as a resounding callout to those who have abused their power or authority to exploit others. The album stands as a dedication to those who have been lost due to such actions, amplifying their silenced voices distorted by the challenges of life. Mugshot firmly believes that when one’s voice is suppressed by the distortions of existence, it becomes our responsibility to amplify and bring awareness to their narrative. With this record, Mugshot aims to confront and address the impact of manipulative actions, offering a raw and unapologetic exploration of the human condition.

Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine have stated previously that The Poisoned Ascendancy will be a world tour, implying that North and South American and Asian dates will be added to the run in due course.

Ascendancy was released on March 15, 2005, as Trivium’s debut on renowned label Roadrunner Records.

It only charted at 151 in the band’s native United States, but received critical acclaim and became a sleeper hit, especially in the UK following Trivium’s main-stage set at Download festival, Donington, that June.

Ascendancy has since been certified Gold in the UK.

The Poison came out on October 3, 2005, and was Bullet For My Valentine’s debut album.

It reached number 21 on the album charts in the band’s native UK and also received critical acclaim.

The Poison has since been certified Gold in the UK and in the United States, and certified Platinum in Germany.

When the first Poisoned Ascendancy dates were announced in February, Trivium singer/guitarist Matt Heafy commented: “Bullet For My Valentine’s The Poison and Trivium’s Ascendancy are two records whose influence can be heard to this day – in the DNA of modern metal.

“It’s incredible to think of the impact the albums had when they came out in 2005. They were both like bolts of lightning.

“Both bands grew up independently of each other in different countries and separately from any movement or scene but both shared a common love of melodic heavy metal at the core; and both had similar meteoric rises right out of the gate.”

Bullet For My Valentine frontman Matt Tuck also commented, saying: “I honestly can’t believe it's been 20 years since the release of The Poison and what an incredible 20 years it’s been.

“I feel so proud of what we've achieved as a band in the last two decades and it all started with that debut album.

“ The Poison is such an important part of our lives musically and personally and we know the massive impact it had on the metal world on a global level.

“This tour will be made even more special as our brothers in Trivium are also joining us on the road to celebrate and play in its entirety their stunning album Ascendancy .”

Trivium / Bullet For My Valentine The Poisoned Ascendancy 2025 tour dates:

Jan 26: Cardiff Utilita Arena  Jan 27: Cardiff Utilita Arena Jan 28: Glasgow OVO Hydro Jan 30: Manchester Co-op Live  Jan 31: Birmingham Utilita Arena    Feb 1: London The O2

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

The most-charted British female solo act of the 1980s announces huge UK tour

Share this with

An iconic 80s pop singer has thrilled fans with the announcement of a colossal UK tour next year. 

Scheduled for 2025, Kim Wilde will be performing ten dates in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Cambridge, London, Liverpool, Sheffield, York, Glasgow, and Nottingham between 14 and 25 March 2025.

The shows promise to be spectacular events, showcasing Wilde’s timeless hits and much-anticipated new music, along with support from 80s band Cutting Crew. 

Known for classics like Kids in America, Wilde’s career has left an indelible mark on the industry. Between 1981 and 1996, she had an impressive 25 singles charting within the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart. 

Her chart-topping success includes hits like Chequered Love and You Came, solidifying her status as the most-charted British female solo act of the 1980s.

Accompanying Wilde will be the legendary eighties rock band Cutting Crew, who are best known for their 1986 hit (I Just) Died in Your Arms, promising a night filled with 80s glam. 

Dubbed the Closer Tour, the shows will feature Wilde and her band delivering renditions from her celebrated Close album, along with tracks from her upcoming Closer album, as well as other beloved classics from her extensive repertoire. 

Fans can expect to feel nostalgic to hits like Never Trust a Stranger and the reworked version of the Supremes’ song You Keep Me Hangin’ On, which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1987.

Beyond her musical prowess, Wilde has carved a name for herself in the world of horticulture. Amidst her musical career, she pursued a passion for landscaping, earning her recognition at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show.

She’s also contributed to popular gardening programs like Channel 4’s Better Gardens and the BBC’s Garden Invaders.

After taking some time off after her heyday in the 80s, Wilde was inspired to return to music by an unexpected source .

In 2018 she went on Loose Women and explained that an extraterrestrial encounter prompted her return to the stage.

She said: ‘It was in 2009 and I was in my garden with my husband and a girlfriend of mine.

‘We saw some helicopters and a bright light come towards us from the South West. We looked of course, expecting to see they were after someone.

‘That didn’t happen, the helicopters left. I think they were scrambling to try and find what this thing was.’

When asked if anyone believed her story, she laughed: ‘Everyone thought I’d been on the pinot grigio…’

The singer went on: ‘The light remained behind a cloud in the sky, we went to investigate.

‘I’m looking up and I’m seeing this thing and all of a sudden it moves from 11 o’clock to 2 o’clock… Then a smaller one joined it.’

‘It has really inspired me a lot,’ she said. ‘I really believe what I saw was a UFO. It wasn’t of this planet.’

Tickets for the highly anticipated tour will be available for purchase starting Friday, April 26 at 10 am.
