So Where To Today?

Manchester

What: Arkham Witch @ The Underground

When: Friday August 15 19:00

Iron Boar Bookings brings to you the first of our Aberrations! These are shows outside of our usual focus on Doom and Sludge that we will be delivering through the latter half of the year. To kick off the series in style we have Aberration: STEEL - a night of Heavy Metal, NWTHM, Power Metal, and did we mention - METAL!? Our headliners are Leeds based mercenaries of metal - Sellsword - Epic Symphonic Power Metal with songs about swords, sieges and sagas! Expect sword-swinging, huge choruses, and the ever-present threat of the trebuchet!

Alongside them we have Keighley’s own, Arkham Witch on hand to deliver their own brand of Heavy Metal infused with Lovecratian Horror. Slinging songs of savage barbarians and occult atrocities.

Also assaulting the stage are Ascalon! Sharing songs from their recently released debut album “The Black Library” - bombastic power metal songs of civil war, and the fall of empires in the grim darkness of the far future!

This will be a night of epic metal and energetic steel with an electric lineup picked by our resident dragon-fancier, Luke Doran! So come along, raise your horns, bang your head, and screeeeeaaaam for us Bradford!

Who: Arkham Witch

Heavy Metal

Arkham Witch hail from Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. Formed by Simon and Emily in 2009, the pair recorded a self titled demo CD-R that was very well received. Encouraged by the positive reception of the demo, John Demaine was recruited to play Bass. They were a three piece for several months, until persuading Dodo (Aldo) to complete the line-up. The band then rapidly wrote a raft of material and ventured into a studio. After many beers and arguments the debut album ‘On Crom’s Mountain’ arrived on 04/08/2011 released thru Barbarian Wrath Records. We are now signed to Metal On Metal Records and through them so far we have released ‘Legions of the Deep’, ‘Demos of the Deep’ and ‘Get Thothed Vol. 1’

Since we’ve started out, we’ve had a few changes….Kinky John has now joined Dodo for some double heavy action on Guitars and we have recruited Jay on Bass! Jayanta helped us out during a gig in Dubai, and since then we haven’t managed to get rid of him!!

Sadly, Kinky John is no longer with us due to family and work commitments. He will return one day!……We have now recruited on lead guitars the talented Mr. John Hanslip. He has just done his debut gig with us at The Metal Magic Festival in Denmark and we can definitely say that we’re keeping him chained to this band for good!!
