AFLMSMP 'I Went To The Mountain' Album Release Show

ROstagly presents...

AFLMSMP
'I Went To The Mountain' Album Release Show

Am Fost La Munte Si Mi-a Placut (I Went To The Mountains And I Liked It) is a Romanian post-rock, post-metal, prog and stoner band consisting of five multi-instrumentalists.

AFLMSMP or “The Mountain Band” has shown an inclination towards a barefaced, riff-led take on the post-genres, inviting comparisons with bands such as Pelican and Cloudkicker (dunk!records, 2022) and If These Trees Could Talk (Everything is Noise, 2019). Fans have also generously likened AFLMSMP’s sound to bands like Russian Circles and Isis.

Following three full-length releases, as well as a few EPs and live recordings, AFLMSMP unveil their fourth record, co-released by dunk!records and A Thousand Arms - their 2nd release with dunk!records. I Went To The Mountain (2025), a self-titled record of sorts, presents at once a hard-hitting iteration of post-rock and post-metal, as well as a daring, experimental outlook on said genres.

JACK J. HUTCHINSON

Fedora-wearing blues-rock guitarist Jack J Hutchinson’s brand new album ‘Battles’ builds on the momentum gained having shared bills across the planet with bands including Blackberry Smoke, Jeff Beck and King King.

The record crash landed in the Official UK Charts, gaining over 120K streams in its first week alone. It features two Planet Rock playlisted tracks – ‘Constellations’ and ‘Bullets’ – plus ‘Days Are Gone’, which was featured on the BBC Radio 2 Rock Show.

Hutchinson takes his power trio on the road for his most explosive show yet. Expect lightning fast fret work and sing along choruses that smash the blues rock template and bring it crash bang into 2025.

DARK CLOUDS OVER CAMDEN IV

THE BLACK HEART (SATURDAY EVENING)

BLACK ALTAR

Orthodox black metal from Poland and the UK. Black Altar took form within the 90's having been established within the year of 1996 by Shadow. Tours have included Mexico and South America, European festivals and a UK service with Carpathian Forest. With overall themes of misanthropy, death, darkness and Satanism, Black Altar does justice in conveying these often abstract ideas through their musicianship and lyrics. By blending their aggressive and raw tonality and structure with well written lyrics that conceptualized these ideas perfectly. Within a dark theatrical ritualistic ceremony Black Altar is then able to further express their themes by way of a visualization that is both captivating as it is cathartic.

https://www.facebook.com/blackaltar

OLD CORPSE ROAD

Old Corpse Road are steeped in the history of Britain; they breathe the myths and legends that form the fabric of this island kingdom. Every note of their unique black metal is infused with the magic of spells thought long forgotten and the ghosts of ancient days haunt the spaces between those notes.

AGENTS OF THE LEXICON
BEN MAIER

If you’re looking for something punchy, neoclassical, and semi-abstract, and that leans toward strong musical flavours, you can’t go amiss with the avant-garde duo BEAU BOWEN.

If you’re a fan of Sparks, perhaps with some of the supernatural essence of Björk you’ll be a little closer to embracing the beauty & variety of the BEAU BOWEN sound.

It is a sound that you will want to hear again and again - this music invites intimacy. These Auteur-Rockers have even created an ingenious visual package, which delivers a multi-dimensional live show that is a spectacle to behold.

How do audiences react to Beau Bowen’s music? They are mesmerised. They are transported. They are warmed, and they are inspired. The Beau Bowen melodies are beautiful, catchy and strong, and the lyrics are charming with a delicate and childlike nature. The themes are innocent. There is nothing to fear! You might choose to describe their music as art-pop, but that’s not the point, because it is certainly not grandiose and it is not toplofty, or judgemental. Their thoughts are straightforward and lucid (even though they often deliver highly skilful, multi-dimensional complexities).

Just one listen will let you in on all you need to know: they love music, they love performance, they love one another.

BEAU BOWEN are today’s missing link with the eternal heartbeat within artistic performance and musical expression!
