Before DEAFHEAVEN, there was ALCEST. Pioneers of the ‘blackgaze’ movement (which is the hybrid of black metal and shoegaze, for the uninitiated), the French band have been producing sweeping soundscapes for post-metal enjoyers to immerse themselves in for over two decades.

Tonight is a special night. It’s Halloween weekend in London and the legendary goth metal act CRADLE OF FILTH are wrapping up their hugely successful Dark Horses and Forces European Tour with their Monstrous Sabbat show.

Prior to their appearance on stage tonight, the music drifting from the PA sets the mood perfectly. A choir of heavenly voices drift from the speakers, transforming the room into something like a church with beer on tap.

Ten bands, playing across three venues, over two days. There was every indication ahead of time that Beyond The Past would exceed the scale of most anniversary events.
