Opening act Hexenbrenner brings some blasphemous, heavy, blackened metal to the Nottingham stage.

Adorned in religious garb, they get the crowd moving for what promises to be a dark yet energetic night.

Next to darken the stage is Stahlsarg, delivering black metal with ferocious energy.

The interaction between the members shows a dynamic that’s hard to beat, with riffs and blast beats that drill into your skull.

The audience revels in their intensity.

Songs from their upcoming album are unleashed, leaving the crowd wanting more.

Headlining this grim affair, Heathen Deity takes over the stage.

Their powerful presence grips everyone in attendance.

Pits erupt in the crowd, driven by the sheer force of the performance.

A final onslaught of Epic True English Black Metal closes out this darkest of Northern English nights.
