A stereotypical wet welcome for Heriot in Manchester, arriving to be greeted by a good old fashioned downpour but nothing to dampen the spirits of the band turning up to play a sold out show! Along for the stomp around the ÜK is hardcore thrash outfit, Inhuman Nature, who resident gigaholic Jase W caught earlier this year in Dead Institute means there’s a solid chance of his ears ringing well into the weekend.

For the first of a string of three gigs this week, Jase W was back in Rebellion to see Danish blackgazers MØL smash it up once again. One of the bands our resident gigaholic will never get tired of seeing and especially not with a headline set after their 2021 album, ‘Diorama’, more than likely making up a large chunk of tonight’s set.

A little different from the Cannibal Corpse carnage DJ Astrocreep took in a mere week before in the same room.

After a last minute tour rescheduling, Pop Evil were finally in Manchester and Jase W was still able to make the date! So a swift return to one of his favourite venues in Manchester, Rebellion and despite the intermittent inclement weather, it’s turned out nicely to get our resident gigaholic into a sweaty darkened room to get his ears battered. Call Me Amour are in tow for this tour as support as well and looks like we’ve got two solid sets tonight to get those ears around!
