ThrashZone at Basement 45
Headfirst Editor's Pick

" Basement 45 gets sucked through the hellgate of Bristol Metal Quarter, hosting a whole weekender of blister-bursting trash and death deviance + many merch stalls and 2am headbanging by the decks. Top of the bill so far: goat-worshipping blackened thrashers Devastator and Belfast’s technical ‘war-jazz’ brutalists Acid Age. Best free up some real estate on the battle jacket then ….. "
