I'm back in Cardiff at Fuel tonight for a full on night of metal, headlined by black metal from the East of England, Stahlsarg.

Beginning the evening we have Parusight, formally a solo romantic, gothic, melodic black metal act, now a fully band from Bristol. Their first time here in Cardiff and they are well received. Full corpse paint and wonderfully designed black metal outfits they really possess the stage.

They get the crowd moving as they scream out each powerful track.

Next up we have Oneiros from Derby, atmospheric black metal. Formally Dark Doom until 2024. This well tuned band are great to watch as they keep momentum going for the evening, clearly enjoying performing as much as the crowd.

Penultimately Agrona, Welsh Black metal from Cardiff itself. Wow they look and sound amazing! Their outfits are so dark and all so unique and they all have such high energy. The crowd clearly knows them well joining in and screaming applause.

Finally we have our headliners this evening as Stahlsarg, take the stage. This band are well known for their unusual and intensely animated performance and we are not let down tonight. From the moment they come on they own the stage and do not let up, especially with vocalist and guitarist ripping into each other. There's a special atmosphere for new track, Nefertiti, as we are plunged into darkness. Burn and Destroy really gets the crowd moving. Such an epic performance, always legendary brutal.
