Lowdown
All Hail The Riff! A war cry synonymous with the Hertfordshire-based four-piece that has seared its mark into the local music scene. Now, with relentless intent, Lowdown is poised to take the UK metal landscape by storm with their album ALPHA-OMEGA!
Drawing inspiration from the crushing grooves of Black Label Society, the soaring melodies of Alter Bridge, the raw aggression of Pantera, and the ominous weight of Sabbath, Lowdown fused doom-laced chords with searing, down-tuned riffs-pinch harmonics ricocheting through the air like battle cries.
Alpha – Omega by Lowdown is built on the idea that everything—beginnings and endings-comes back to us. As Runham explains, “The album ‘Alpha – Omega’ was crafted on the understanding that everything starts and ends with us (you). You are your beginning and end.
War and conflict exist in many forms. Some fight battles in the physical world, while others struggle within themselves. This duality is at the heart of Alpha – Omega. “Set Fire” embodies the frustration of trying to fix a problem, only to realize that the real issue lies within yourself.
The album consists of 10 tracks, each one a relentless force of pure metal energy. From the very first note, ‘Set Fire’ erupts—a scorching debut single that takes no prisoners. Uncompromising and explosive, it forges the backbone of the album, setting the stage for a sonic journey that is as ferocious as it is unforgettable.
With Support from:
Brightblack
Formed towards the end of 2022 Bright Black came together with the plan of blending the intensity of modern hard rock with the intricate dynamics of progressive metal. Bright Black have created a sound that feels both refreshingly unique and irresistibly familiar.
The band has played various gigs across the country, including reaching Bloodstocks Metal 2 The Masses final and Godiva calling finals.
The band has gone strength to strength through the last year with multiple releases, even scoring a slot for the mainstage at Wildfire Festival 2025.
The band stands firm and ready to take their brand of rock to the masses with a professional attitude and electric live show.
