The Facemelter: Sumer, Core Of iO, Karybdis

Chaos Theory presents a night of live progressive metal at Camden's best small venue.

————————
Sumer

A band who continue to stride from peak to peak, filling venues at prog, post-rock, tech metal, math rock and alt rock gigs alike. Bridging the gap between various heavy genres, Sumer have amassed a huge following around the UK.

After their near sold out launch gig for their album ‘The Animal You Are’, we can not wait to have their heavy triple guitar attack with soaring vocal harmonies back once more.

“A sonic structure of melodic distortion.” – TeamRock

Core Of iO

A heavy progressive rock band from the south coast of the UK, who’ve already created tidal waves when they played at UK Tech-Metal Fest and Mammothfest two years in a row.

Formed out of a mutual enjoyment of technical and melodically intriguing music, while maintaining an absence of backing tracks and digital effects, Core Of iO display a distinctively honest and unapologetically raw sound.

They’re currently releasing a cycle of four EPs and the next installment 'Part III: Ganymede' is to be released later this year. Check out all the latest material tonight as they continue to push themselves further and further.

Renowned for their immense live performances, anyone who’s seen them support Zoax, Red Seas Fire, Meta-Stasis, Mask of Judas or EYE will already know why they’re worth catching now.

“Self-assured tech-flavoured progressive rock, dynamic intelligent and dripping with hooks.” – The Monolith
“Without subscribing to the ‘djent’ camp, they prove themselves equally worthy of pushing forward the barriers of technical metal.” 8/10 – MetalMouth.Net

Karybdis

Sumptuous metal with great technical ability combined with a range of vocals. We had a great time when these guys played at The Facemelter a couple of years ago, and now they’re back with more material, the acclaimed new release ‘Samsara’ and a new video on the way…

Not to be missed.

“One of the most promising bands to emerge from the UK metal scene in recent years.” – TeamRock
