DEAD WITCHES + AMNEZIAK + PYROGARIC
Saturday 22nd August 2026 | Cart & Horses, Stratford
DEAD WITCHES
The brainchild of former Electric Wizard/Ramesses drummer Mark Greening, Dead Witches don’t just play doom; they orchestrate what The Obelisk calls a "panic attack happening in slow motion on another dimensional plane." Recorded on the same antique analogue gear as the legendary Dopethrone, their sound is a "banshee wail of woeful siren song" woven through "hell-sent thunder" and "obscene amounts of fuzz." This is pure, "trad doom" unshackled from pretension—music designed to make your entire skull vibrate.
AMNEZIAK
A descent into "low-end madness," Amneziak brings a tonal mire that Musipedia of Metal describes as "ill-intentioned from the get-go." Expect a crushing, atmospheric weight that shifts between dense post-metal textures and the "abyssal plod" of classic sludge. They are the sonic equivalent of a slow-burn horror film, filling every nook and cranny of the room with a "thick-toned and grainy organic creep."
PYROGARIC
South Wales’ finest purveyors of "fuzz-soaked proto-metal." Described as the "bastard offspring of Haight-Asbury by way of Black Sabbath," Pyrogaric pairs Keelan’s vintage riffs with Jamey-Leigh’s "powerhouse drums and spectral, bewitching vocals." Their live show is a "cacophony of warm analogue production" that moves from "woozy psychedelic atmospheres" to "direct, low-strung riffs" that have earned them a reputation for giving audiences a healthy dose of tinnitus.
The Venue:
Experience this wall of sound at the Cart & Horses—the legendary birthplace of Iron Maiden. In a room this intimate, there is nowhere to hide from the riffs.
