The dark alternative music scene has had a myriad of new bands emerge during the last decade but very few have stuck around. Even fewer have consistently released interesting and genre-bending music. Bestial Mouths started in 2009 and hit our radar a few years later after the release of ‘Hissing Veil’. 14 years later, they are one of the most visually and sonically interesting bands to follow, not only because they defy any categorisation but because the quality of their releases is quite remarkable every single time.

August is traditionally a calmer month when it comes to music releases but this one had some significant highlights which are hard to bypass. The return of PiL 8 years after the release of their previous studio album ‘What The World Needs Now’ with a punk gem that brings in some subtle Belgian coldwave elements too. ‘End Of World‘ is the bone-cracking title of the band’s latest offering ahead of the celebration of their 45th anniversary with a gig at O2 Forum Kentish Town.

How do you all feel out there by the choices we have this autumn when it comes to live gigs ? I can confess that us here feel quite optimistic about the future of live music in London. Things might not be quite right yet but, hopefully they will soon be.

Dear darklings,
2023 might have been a disappointing year so far when it came to the live dark alternative scene but the weeks ahead look a bit more optimistic. We will not go into the details of why promoters have been reluctant to organise gigs and why big venues remained shut throughout this year, as everyone can probably make correct assumptions about the reasons behind this situation.
We are ecstatic that the next two months look great with some all-time favourite musicians resuming their tour schedules that include a stop in London and that most ticket costs are being kept at reasonable levels.

Heavy guitars, grinding synths, industrial textures, and captivating post-apopalyptic folk were the order of this month. Our favourite albums and music releases seemed to respond to some sort of ominous call. Maybe it’s Johny Brown ‘s poetic farewell to an imaginary Babylon or even the title of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s self-released album, but in any case we feel that there is something sinister in the air, something close to what this band describes through heavy psych rock music as a petrodragonic apocalypse.
Live Review: The Black Delta Movement, Taigen Kawabe, Oliver Marson live at The 100 Club
Posted: 15th May 2023 by blaue-rosen in Live reviews,InterviewsTags: live music review, live review 2023, London gigs 2023, Oliver Marson live in London 2023, psych rock gigs in London 2023, stage photography, Taigen Kawabe live in London 2023, The 100 Club London gigs, The Black Delta Movement live in London 2023
I can’t really trace my journey between The 100 Club and the conjunction of four tree trunks in an ancient wood in North London, but this is where I chose to start writing this review. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s been three years since I found myself in this mindset again, almost as long as it has been since I was last in The 100 Club.
