Warning over heavy metals in Cork region

Romanian black/folk metallers Negura Bunget are bringing their progressive howls and regressive cowls to Cork.

Also playing the same venue on Paddy’s Day are The Darkness, which should be a welcome break from paddywhackery and the general horrors of our National Day Off From Reason And Accountability.

And best of all: 25-minute drum solo please:

Blackgaze forerunners Alcest play Cyprus Avenue on May 5. If you like your metal black – yet pretentious – then this should be awesome. Sample:

But with music, obviously.
