Children of London!

We're delighted to announce that we'll be coming to The Black Heart in October for a night of devilry to celebrate 20 years of doom.

We'll be joined by our old friends Sea Bastard and the truly sinful Setttima, bringing the dark magic of her performance in the Bacchus video to the stage.

First lineup drop for Cruel & Unusual II is here.

UNYIELDING LOVE. VIOLENCIA. WREN. CROSSED. LOADS MORE TBA.

C&U II FIRST LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT: UNYIELDING LOVE / VIOLENCIA / WREN / CROSSED. MORE TBA.

Your first wave of bands for Cruel & Unusual II. Behold.

UNYIELDING LOVE make their return to Camden to co-headline our second feast after decimating TBH for us on their 10th anniversary back in 2024. Blackened grind, noise, death... There’s no genre descriptor you can use to do their sound justice or come close to accurately depicting where a UL set will take you. The very definition of the abstract filth C&U promises to deliver. Sightings of this Belfast mob don’t happen nearly often enough around these parts. Make sure to bear witness.

VIOLENCIA will be unleashing upon us a ferocious, unrelenting strain of powerviolence, cultivated in Tijuana, Mexico. Maybe one of the most accurately named bands in the game, this lot left a crater south of the river when they tore it up at the New Cross Inn for Chimpyfest 2025, just like they have done any and everywhere else they’ve played. Let’s show ‘em how North London does it.

WREN are a jewel of the UK heavy underground. Consistently brilliant both live and on record for what feels like forever, becoming one of the most unanimously respected outfits in their scene (or any other) along the way. Their silent contribution to this year’s C&U as the engine behind the Oryx tour helped lay the groundwork for there even being a second edition to tell you about. It’s an honour to have ‘em be a part of it for real in 2027.

CROSSED play some of the most gnarled blackened hc/screamo you’ll hear in your life. If you’re in on them already, you know to be excited. If not, and you’ve ever had a good time at a hm show, there’s a very high chance you will love this band. Listen to ‘Realismo Ausente’ immediately. You’ll see why we had to get ‘em over from Madrid to join the chaos.

More TBA in due course, including our rapturous other co-headliner.
