BIOMECH

They craft music that feels simultaneously otherworldly and visceral. Their live shows envelop audiences in towering walls of sound, chaotic yet meticulously constructed.

HAVOK

From his early days tearing up local parties to stepping onto the Black Tongue stage and instantly becoming a fan favourite, Havok has proved he’s not here to blend in. He’s here to take over.

Rillington place
Rillington Place are an alternative metal band from West Yorkshire, blending the grit of nu-metal with the weight of doom and sludge. Drawing influence from the likes of Korn, Deftones, System of a Down, Crowbar, Conjurer, and Swallow the Sun, the band carve out a sound they’ve come to call “gloom and groove.”
Built on aggressive drop-tuned riffs, haunting melodies, and a mix of harsh, powerful vocals and clean, emotive singing, Rillington Place thrive on contrast. Their songs swing from fast tremolo-picked passages, to catchy single-note hooks, to crushing breakdowns that hit with purpose rather than cliché.
