Band Line Up 2018

Frequently compared to...well, whatever band in the listener's immediate frame of reference has a violin, Cadence Noir's place in the musical landscape is hard to agree on for those who love to pigeonhole their rock and metal, but is probably somewhere Celtic or Transatlantic, belying their East Midlands roots. 

Whether delivering their ferocious full set or the only slightly gentler acoustic version, you might not come away entirely sure what you just saw, but you will remember us. Hell, you might even like it. 

Formed back in 2011, playing their unique blend of Gothic-tinged, Folky, Bluesy, Rocky, Punky whatever-it-is, over the last 7 years Cadence Noir have grown a fan base and reputation for a visceral live show through nationwide touring, taking in some of the country's finest alternative venues and festivals. Their highlight reel includes supporting Evil Scarecrow and Old Corpse Road, performing acoustically on the Jaeger stage at Bloodstock in 2014 and at Uprising 2017, and bringing shrieks and violins to the line-up at SOS, Sunkfest, Breaking Bands, and Lostock. 

Considering the calibre of the competition, we are shocked and excited to be given the chance to tread the same boards as acts considered to be some of UK metal's finest. We are humbled, gratified and, now that it's starting to sink in, mightily looking forward to bringing our folked-up madness to the New Blood Stage.
