Into The Dark Forever Tour 2021
Formed in Fukuoka Japan in 2012, BRIDEAR is one of Japan’s premier heavy metal bands and is setting their sights on the global stage. With diverse influences from German metal legends Helloween to British prog-pop pioneers Muse, the all-female quintet combines elements of power metal, progressive rock, and the melodic hooks of J-pop to create a sound unlike any of their rivals from Japan.
After releasing their first single in 2012, BRIDEAR has been unrelenting with numerous EPs and full-length albums to their credit. Performing across Japan and eventually Europe, the band developed a dedicated international following which continues to grow. In 2021, BRIDEAR joined UK-based label SETSUZOKU RECORDS.

IN REGENERATIONE UK 2001
NECRONOMIDOL
Occult idol outfit Necronomidol have become one of the most high profile underground idol acts in recent years. Drawing on occult imagery, much of Necronomidol’s material takes influence from the work of HP Lovecraft, the iconic horror writer responsible for the Cthullu mythos.
Currently consisting of Himari Tsukishiro, Nana Kamino, Meica Mochinaga and Malin Kozakura, Necroma draw a lot from rock and heavy metal, although they have a sound profile that’s uniquely their own. Their music utilises heavy guitar licks where necessary, augmented by a judicious use of synths. Songs such as ‘Skulls In The Stars’ and ‘Dawnslayer’ are bolstered by tight guitars and dramatic vocals. In a live environment, these tunes take on a fresh vitality when combined with Necroma’s energetic choreography.
No strangers to the UK, Necroma are returning this October to deliver their idol occult goodness.
Support and VIP upgrade details to be confirmed for this event.
