********************

Inkubus Sukkubus

Inkubus Sukkubus are a Pagan Gothic Rock Band Who have been touring and releasing albums since they formed in 1989. The original aim of the band was (as it still is today) to be the vehicle in which the celebration of the Pagan experience could be conveyed. Initially the band was called Incubus Succubus, in the spring of `95 it was decided that the spelling of the band’s name would change to Inkubus Sukkubus for numerological reasons, and with this came other notable changes. The live band went through a stunning metamorphosis and they now play with a drum machine and full programmed orchestral backing from sequencers giving the richness and diversity of sound and emotion previously found only in the recorded band.

2019 was the 30th anniversary for Inkubus Sukkubus and saw them release “Lilith Rising”, the band’s 25th album. During the Covid 19 pandemic they released their first book entitled ‘Tales of Witchcraft and Wonder’ and in 2021 released their most recent album ‘The Way of the Witch’. Inkubus Sukkubus have toured Germany, France, Belgium, America, as well as the UK and they continue to consolidate their position as the world’s biggest and most popular Pagan Rock band.

Witch of the Vale

Witch of the Vale are Erin and Ryan, an unsettling electronic duo from the serene shores of Loch Lomond and the remote Outer Hebridean Isles. Erin and Ryan began creating music together after identifying a shared love of a particular style of dark, melodic music which they felt was missing from the current scene. Having taught themselves how to record, mix and engineer their own unique sound.

Witch of the Vale are best identified by their haunting vocal style coupled with harmonic synths. These in turn are starkly contrasted by deep drones and abrasive drums. With Erin’s sincere, melancholic lyrics, their sound is at once ethereal and devastating. Live, their performance has been described as compelling and tortured, an atmospheric and deeply emotional experience. After the critical acclaim of their first album Commemorate, Witch of the Vale have recently followed up with a new single, Love of a Father in advance of a second album.

Rhombus

Rhombus are one of the finest Goth Rock bands to emerge from the North of England in many years.

Mixing male and female vocals with swirling guitars, driving bass with powerful drums and electric violin, they combine some of the best elements of traditional 80s/90s UK Goth, with their own modern, upbeat approach.

In addition to their studio indulgences, Rhombus have cultivated an exceptional reputation for their live performance, winning over audiences and powering the party, whether it be in an intimate club venue or from a festival stage.

http://www.rhombus.org.uk/

Auger

From within the endless warren of tunnels, in the darkest depths of the mine, a new sound awakens.

Founded in July 2017 by singer and producer, Kyle J Wilson, and guitarist, Kieran Thornton, Auger quickly sold out their debut CD single ‘New Life’ / ‘My Guardian’ (Rebco Records UK), gaining radio play as far away as North America.

Over the past year they’ve been unleashing their dramatic live performance on the European mainland and have undertaken shows in Germany (September 2018, as tour support for Stoneman), Finland (July 2018, Lumous Festival) and Belgium (August 2018, W-Fest). The year of 2018 has seen Auger support Stoneman, Solar Fake, Massive Ego, Sulpher and in November, Lord Of The Lost, on all the UK dates of their ‘Thornstar Tour’. In total, Auger, conquered seven different countries in 2018, delivering a passionate performance as far as Rakvere, Estonia.

Auger’s hard-hitting sound is a unique fusion of neue deutsche härte, industrial, electronica and metal. Musical reference points include Lord Of The Lost, Blutengel, Project Pitchfork, Mesh, VOLA, Type O Negative, Gothminister, Mono Inc., Starset and Eisbrecher.
