Formed in early 2010, MADISON STATE have taken audiences by storm with their pounding riffs, catchy melodies and a powerful high octane live show which has earned them the reputation of being one of the UK’s must see bands.
SEVERENTH
http://www.facebook.com/OfficialSeverenth
Determined and ferocious the Chester quintet’s music is the product of both modern day influences such as Devildriver, Chimaira and Arch Enemy but also the old-school of Metallica, Pantera, Sabbath and Maiden.
Combining a turbo-charged twin guitar attack with earthshaking bass, ballistic blast-beats and the kind of throat-shredding screams that cause nightmares, the band have developed a mature modern metal sound which switches between aggression and melody effortlessly, making Severenth’s music not only intense but also catchy.
CANDID INIQUITY

Candid Iniquity formed in 2007 in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Manchester. Four like minded yet individually unique people came together, each with their own distinctive approach towards the same goal. Since receiving great reviews and lots of interest since playing Bloodstock Festival 2011, they are now on course to begin spreading our unrelenting form of Metal to towns and cities across the UK.
Powerful messages coupled with strong, dynamic music and an intense live performance, Candid Iniquity leave people with impressionable memories and a lust for more.
