Excited about these people playing again, had a great time with them at death by metal!
Based in Perth, Scotland, Nerrus Kor are a grooving, original, powerful death metal machine with black metal influence. Although Nerrus Kor fall under the death metal banner, the band’s sound is far from generic and is best described as intense, menacing, hard hitting extreme metal. Nerrus Kor have shared the stage with some prestigious bands and carved out a reputation as one of Scotland’s most ambitious and dedicated acts.
2012 will see them tour the UK extensively with some of the best extreme bands in the country, as well as a 2 week USA tour in September. Nerrus Kor’s debut self titled EP is set for early 2012 release as well, and is expected to make a considerable impact.

Old-School Death/Thrash band from Nottingham. No bullshit, No excuses we play what we love! Crazy crazy bastards, I think I’m right saying the only band to wall of death in the upstairs room at the Wagon! Though I was drunk, so maybe I imagined them being there ahah!
With several appearances in Terrorizer magazine (One of them being voted 6th best unsigned act of 2009 with just 2 months of gigging experience), a support slot for Bolt Thrower, Benediction and Rotting Christ, A Headline Tour of Ireland under their belt and many more gigs ahead, the band is an unstoppable force with one goal: To dominate the metal scene!
After getting signed to Bad News Records in late September 2010, the band step into the studio once again to record their E.P which was mastered by James Murphy (Death/Obituary/
The ‘Perpetual Devastation’ E.P is now available in most outlets! Order online through our Big Cartel or check out more mainstream stores such as Amazon, Play.com etc!!!

Amongst the Survivors
http://www.facebook.com/
Birmingham-based melodic black metal act AMONGST THE SURVIVORS was formed by guitarists Steve Deathridge and Dan Hughes, vocalist Joseph O’Neill and drummer Austin Miller in January of 2009. Since their formation, the band’s dedicated work ethic and their fearsomely intense live performances have shaped them into a potent force on the unsigned metal scene.
Combining influences as diverse as Immortal, Cult Of Luna, At The Gates and Devin Townsend with the band’s own identifiably unique songwriting sensibilities, AMONGST THE SURVIVORS found themselves ready to take their blend of lethal hooks, furious blasting and epic scope to the masses
“This is like the spirit of Angelcorpse with better chops and a Dissection boner”
- Terrorizer Magazine
“considerable poise and style”
- Chris Van Souwe – Powerplay Magazine
“merging cyclonic blastbeating and furious, tremolo-picked riffs with intricate melodies and more creepily subdued passages”
