UNYIELDING LOVE make their return to Camden to co-headline our second feast after decimating TBH for us on their 10th anniversary back in 2024. Blackened grind, noise, death... There’s no genre descriptor that can be used to do their sound justice or even nearly accurately depict where a UL set will take you. The very definition of the abstract filth C&U promises to deliver. Sightings of this Belfast mob don’t happen nearly often enough around these parts. Make sure to bear witness.
WORLD PEACE comes to Camden. Rejoice! Simply put, this is one of the most punishing bands on the planet right now. A pumelling dual-bass powerviolence onslaught so uncompromisingly aggy that their set was the scene of pit injuries at Roadburn, of all places. Having bathed in that chaos, it was only right to try and get ‘em here for C&U. Putting this band through the PA at The Black Heart only hasn’t been outlawed by the Geneva Convention because no one had been sick enough to try and do it yet. You’re welcome.
VIOLENCIA will be unleashing upon us a ferocious, unrelenting strain of powerviolence, cultivated in Tijuana, Mexico. Maybe one of the most accurately named bands in the game, this lot left a crater south of the river when they tore it up at the New Cross Inn for Chimpyfest 2025, just like they have done any and everywhere else they’ve played. Let’s show ‘em how North London does it.
WREN are a jewel of the UK heavy underground. Consistently brilliant both live and on record for what feels like forever, becoming one of the most unanimously respected outfits in their scene (or any other) along the way. Their silent contribution to this year’s C&U as the engine behind the Oryx tour helped lay the groundwork for there even being a second edition to tell you about. It’s an honour to have ‘em be a part of it for real in 2027.
CROSSED play some of the most gnarled blackened hc/screamo you’ll hear in your life. If you’re in on them already, you know to be excited. If not, and you’ve ever had a good time at a hm show, there’s a very high chance you will love this band. Listen to ‘Realismo Ausente’ immediately. You’ll see why we had to get ‘em over from Madrid to join the chaos.
INSTAR SLING are one of the very nastiest doom bands around. Truly wretched, evil sonics that somehow manages to get that little bit more disgusting every time they play. After a couple shows at TBH last year, in 2026 they’ve torn up The Underworld on HDP’s DesertFest stage and absolutely polluted New River as a headliner. Had to bring ‘em home for this one.
DROMOS will be bringing their beautifully warped take on funeral doom to proceedings. Their album ‘Failling Light’ from earlier this year is a captivating atmospheric slow-burn descending into pure despair and twisting into near-psychedelia along the way. Stoked to have ‘em be a part of this.
Two more bands still TBA.
