GROVE WARDEN -

Grove Warden are a 5 piece Metal Band hailing from Somerset. Driven by furious riffs harsh breakdowns and soaring melodies Grove Warden have carved a niche all of their own bringing a blend of both chaos and catharsis.

Grove Warden have proven themselves an explosive live act honing their craft performing extensively throughout the country and continue to leave their mark wherever they perform and a force to be reckoned with. Unabashedly raw passion on show at all times with complete dedication to their cause with no compromise.

In 2023 the band released their debut EP Monolith hitting the studio with acclaimed local producer Joe Marsh at Orchard Recording Studios. These 5 songs served as a statement of intent which well established the band firmly on the scene as ones to watch and garnered radio play magazine features as well as having the band invited onto festival slots including The Godney Gathering Rock Against Cancer South West Heavy Festival and Burn It Down as well as well landing support slots with established acts such as Polar In Visions Introspect Exist Immortal Black Coast Embodiment and many more throughout the year .

2024 they followed the EP up quickly with the release of two new singles “Rebirth” and “Solace” quickly becoming two of their most popular and streamed tracks on all platforms showing a more mature and introspective sound whilst still delivering hard hitting anthems people have grown to expect from the band.

2025 sees Grove Warden releasing a brand new single early in the year in “Honourless” further pushing the envelope of what they are capable of and their commitment to progressing sound further and leaving a statement that demands to be heard. Work has already commenced on their follow up EP which is shaping up to be their heaviest most aggressive and volatile statement they have made yet.

DYSTOPIAN SUN -

Formed in 2018 with the purpose of being an online project, North Wales deathcore band, Dystopian Sun set out to take the music to the live venues. Dystopian Sun first took to the stage in October 2018 in the Skerries pub in Bangor. The band was then asked to return to play again the next night as the nights headline act, establishing their status in the local music scene. The band then officially released their 4 debut home recorded tracks in the summer of 2021. At the end of 2022 the band sought to play venues outside of the hometown of Bangor to build an audience.
In March of 2023, they entered the Metal 2 the masses competition as part of the North Wales division and went on to win, securing their place at
Bloodstock Festival. At Bloodstock they played a half an hour set on the New Blood stage on the Sunday, followed by numerous interviews and networking opportunities, leading to suporting Embodiment in Bristol on the 28th of January 2024. “Commanding the stage like they were looking out at the sort of hordes you find at main stage” - Metal-Rules.com 2023.
The band then released their first EP ‘Ignite The Hatred’ with intention of tailoring the bands sound to the musical stylings of a heavier nature. This has since seen radio play on local stations
such as Northwich Radio as well as a slot on Alyx Holcomes BBC Introducing rock & metal show on BBC Radio 1. The band went on to headline the Second Stage at Depravation Festival in Swindon and filled the room to capacity while overlapping stage time with Moldovan heavy metal band Infected Rain who played the Main Stage. Adding a mixture of classical symphonic genres to the already brutal ensemble of heavy hitting riffs, monstrous drums, stylised lead lines and vocals so demonic you’ll think
you’ve arrived at the gates of hell to greet the devil himself. A balance of fast and aggressive with slow, brutal breakdowns accompanied by some bouncy, sing along choruses is what makes the band unique, a song like ‘Birthright’ will have the crowd killing each other and then a song like ‘Worthless’ will have them holding each other. With up and coming gig dates and festival dates next year, Dystopian Sun have shown time and time again
that they are an up and coming force to be reckoned with and are hungry for success within the industry.

It started with a love and passion to perform as well as to create music that we enjoy listening too ourselves, as a hobby. Which we collectively decided to take further and follow our dreams of supporting bands of a similar sound that influenced us. Performing on stage give us the sense of freedom to express who we are as a band.

We will continue on this journey of creating big choruses, heavy breakdowns and devastating riffs until we achieve our goals.

Reviewer Quote:
