BLACK BREATH - Incredibly raging bulldozer metal godliness from Seattle, featuring (ex) members of SHOOK ONES, GO IT ALONE, BLUE MONDAY and other bands they don't sound like. On their two releases to date - 2008's 'Razor To Oblivion' EP, re-released last year by Southern Lord, and 2010's Kurt Ballou-produced debut album 'Heavy Breathing' - they mash up old skool Swedish death metal, crossover thrash, Japanese hardcore, crust and a bunch of other ish. Dirty and hairy but also impeccably focused. If you like metal, don't even think about missing this. http://www.blackbreath.com http://www.myspace.com/blackbreath

SHAPED BY FATE - Rare-ish hometown show for Cardiffian gentlemen who have spent much of 2010 writing and recording their second full-length album. Pretty sure it's going to bang. They take influence from nasty hardcore, nastier metal and helpfully enough nasty metalcore (the sort that is good and doesn't have dayglo merchandise) and their shows tend to be mad lively. You may already know all that. http://www.myspace.com/shapedbyfate

Also making a fairly rare South Wales appearance, 33 started in Swansea and are now also based in Brecon and London. They feature current and ex-members of a bunch of bands, notably CAPTAIN INSANO, IRONCLAD, SAVE YOUR BREATH and DUKES OF NOTHING (Tony Sylvester, their newest member, used to be in them. Anyone see DoN with Scissorfight in Swansea? That was great). They play fast and uncompromising hardcore nodding to the early 80s New York and Michigan scenes, among others. Respec' knuckles for having only one 30-second song on their Myspace, imo. http://www.myspace.com/33aregods
