What better way to spend a Tuesday evening, then heading down to The Old Salutation Inn to see four bands in one evening...
First up was Pectora, a melodic heavy metal band all the way from Denmark. They are here for a five day run supporting TAILGUNNER. They have been steadily gaining momentum in the metal scene, and this Nottingham performance was a testament to their growing influence. The band's energy and passion were evident from the moment they took the stage, and they wasted no time in plunging the audience into a maelstrom of headbanging and euphoria.
Next up was Derby based No Setting Sun, who have emerged as a formidable presence in the world of modern hard rock, proving that the sun has not yet set on this genre. Their debut EP, From The Earth, which dropped on December 2022, is a testament to their commitment to delivering massive guitar tones, irresistible riffs, and powerhouse drumming.
Drawing inspiration from legendary bands like Alter Bridge, Soundgarden, Velvet Revolver, and The Wildhearts, No Setting Sun are a force to be reckoned with, being a refreshing addition to the modern hard rock scene, proving that the genre is very much alive and thriving.
If you're a fan of hard-hitting guitar-driven rock with a genuine, raw edge, No Setting Sun is a band that deserves your attention. Keep your eyes and ears on these rising stars as they continue to shine in the world of hard rock.
The Old Salutation Inn, a sanctuary for all things metal was set ablaze with the ferocious spirit of British metal as Heathen Kings graced the stage. The legendary sounds of the NWOBHM came roaring back to life with the Heathen Kings. Fans of classic rock and metal were in for a treat as they witnessed an electrifying performance that brought back memories of the genre's golden era. As the final chords rang out, it was evident that Heathen Kings had not only revived the spirit of NWOBHM but had carved their own name into the annals of UK metal history.
If you're in the mood for some unapologetic, face-melting heavy rock, look no further than Tailgunner. This band, armed with an arsenal of electrifying riffs and a powerful rhythm section, delivers a sonic storm that leaves a lasting impression. Tailgunner's music is an adrenaline rush from start to finish. From the moment you hit play, you're catapulted into a world of thunderous guitars and a ferocious, powerhouse drumbeat.
