Venom Inc. – London Islington Academy 13/3/18

Long Distance Calling – Vienna, B72, 9/3/2018

SepticFlesh, Inquisition & Stahlsarg – London Underworld 22/1/18

Kobra and the Lotus, Brutai, Aonia and Air Drawn Dagger Sheffield Corporation 2/12/17

Xandria, Metaprism, Aonia – Sheffield Local Authority 18/11/17
