Where: Black Cat Bar, Gloucester

When: Saturday, May 12, doors open 6pm

Heavy rock and metal fans are in store for a fantastic night at the Black Cat Bar in Gloucester next month.

Some of the country's up-and-coming bands will be performing, including headliner Aviira bringing a hardcore head rush of extremely powerful metalcore.

In support will be Eden In Progress, Buried In Ashes, Bio-Strike, Skora and White Hearse.

Bio-Strike are rapidly establishing themselves as 'the ones to watch', offering up a new breed of seriously heavy alt metal. Their live performances are a jaw-dropping, hardcore head rush of atmospheric power and dynamics keeping audiences breathless yet strangely grateful!

The Gloucestershire-based band was created in November 2016 by founding members Rhi and Tom (guitars) and completed in 2017 with the addition of Reuben (drums) and Josh (bass, vocals).

Already established on their local scene Bio-Strike are moving further afield creating new alliances including well received supports to Eden In Progress, The Uncharted and Why We Love.

With tickets costing just £3 (£4 on the door) this is a night you will not want to miss!
