The Facemelter

Chaos Theory ends another year of The Facemelter on a heavy note, filled with doom, sludge, dirge and psychedelia.

HORACE
We loved them so much last month that we just had to get them back! Sprawling soundscapes and drones building into a wall of noise that comes cascading down when this duo explode into great stoner riffs. Their demos went like hotcakes at the last Facemelter, come and see why.

BAST
Heavy molten doom that slowly bubbles away in a cauldron until it boils over with riffs. Having been at the Facemelter twice and having supported Latitudes, Ufomammut, Minsk, Ramesses, *shels, Astrohenge, Necro Deathmort, Nachtmystium and many others, they sit as comfortably with fans of stoner rock and psychedelia as they do with fans of black metal.

THE DAY OF LOCUSTS
Also their third time back at The Facemelter, this trio trudge through ambient build-ups, crushing slow riffs, harsh growls and (slowly) hectic time switches. Prepare to be immersed in their 15 minute epics.

GHOLD
We've been watching these two guys play ALL the cool gigs around London this year, so we decided it was time to get them down. A thoroughly original dirge, masterfully squeezing sludge, rock, punk and ethereal effects together to create catchy cacophony that still keeps a head-nodding beat.
