BLATOIDEA | BAD NASTY | DEFCON ZERO | DOWN CHARMED
Sat 06.06.2026 — The Black Heart, London
In memory of our beloved Jacko.
This is not just another gig. this is a night with a mission.
On June 6th, 2026, we’re gathering at The Black Heart to celebrate the life and spirit of our late bass player Jacko, whose strength, humour, and heart inspired all of us.
Jacko battled myositis, a rare and debilitating condition, with courage that deserves to be remembered and fought against.
We’re raising funds for Myositis UK, an organization doing vital work to support people living with this disease and drive research toward better treatments.
Every ticket, every pint, every moment you share with us that night helps push that mission forward.
This is our way of keeping Jacko’s memory alive, turning grief into purpose, passion, and community.
Line-up:
BLATOIDEA
Bad Nasty
Defcon Zero
Down Charmed
These bands are here because they’re family, they believe in what we’re doing, and they want to make this night powerful and unforgettable.
This event is for everyone who has ever lost someone, who has ever stood by a friend in a struggle, who believes music can do more than entertain. It can heal, remember, and change lives.
Come down. Bring friends.
Make a difference.
All proceeds go to Myositis UK

Epicardiectomy
Epicardiectomy takes its history back in the year of 2007 and needs no introduction to the fans of the genre. Pioneers of Czech slamming brutal death metal have released 3 full-length albums and 1 split CD album during the band‘s existence and played hundreds of shows and festivals as well as numerous tours all over the world including Europe, North America, South America and Japan, and have grown into one of the most recognized bands in the modern brutal death metal/slam scene. The band is currently working on their 4th full length album which is promising to be their most uncompromising and brutal to date.
Embryectomy
They were formed in 2013 and released their debut Promo on 2014. In 2015 the split “Realm of Endless Massacre” was released along with Traumatomy and Cerebral Paralysis. In 2016, the band released their first full length album “Gluttonous Mastication of Embryonic Remnants” via Morbid Generation Records. This year, they are gonna release their second split collaboration, together with Psychosomatic Self-Mutilation and Nephrectomy via Amputated Vein Records, called “Absolution through Sacred Extrication”. In 2020 the band released the second full length album "Flamethrower Ecdysis".
Inverecund
Formed in 2019 by Marcello Olivi and Morgan Bernadini, the band offers fast and Brutal Death Metal inspired by the likes of Gorgasm and Inveracity. Subsequently, Michele Sassano is added to the formation and they record their first Ep “Engrossed to Horripilation” released for New Standard Elite in 2023.

THE SUN’S JOURNEY THROUGH THE NIGHT
Emerging from the shadows to grace our inaugural gathering as headliners, making their reinvigorated full-band return, the enigmatic @thesunsjourneythroughthenight will bring their bleakest, blackest blasts back to Camden Town for the first time in far too long.
ORYX - Performing 'Primordial Sky'
Grand-scale, far-reaching and impossibly heavy sludge/doom from the spiritual home of such noises, Denver CO. Impeccable on record, and unmissable in a live setting. AND they’ll be performing their 2024 opus ‘Primordial Sky’ in full. Truly one of the best records of its kind to come out in the last few years. @thebandoryx
DEATH GOALS
A duo capable of destroying any stage before them (including The Underworld’s supporting @conjureruk last month, and @ourblackheart’s several times) under the sheer weight of their chaotic, emotive, post-everything-core fury. It’s an honour to have one of the best live bands in the country return to Camden to join the festivities. @deathgoalsband
CALLIGRAM
Tying the many disparate parts of the lineup together like the sonic answer to The Dude’s rug, the undisputed champions of The Black Heart return for C&U.
HOST BODY
Nasty, noisy, claustrophobic chaos of the highest order. Bit like listening to early Dillinger and modern day Full Of Hell beat each other to death with live instruments inside a shipping container. They crushed supporting @helplessnoise back in October. Had to get ‘em back. @hostbodynoise
HEALING WOUND
This is a band that seem to get better and better with every set they play. Intense, sludgy, violent noise to lose your mind to. They were immense supporting Gillian Carter at TBH a while back, and even better still supporting HELPLESS for us late last year. With a record on the way and in unbelievable form, we’re incredibly stoked to have ‘em back to join the festivities. @healingwound_
ACCEPTANCE
Harrowing, desloate black metal misery serving up an early dose of bleak brewed up in Leeds.
REAP
Low-end doomviolence to help blow the last few cobwebs away early doors.
SUNSWARM
And kicking things off, an entirely new offering whose first single drops tomorrow. No spoilers, but it rips. Cacophonous industrial post-metal nihilism, produced by the master of such things, @bearbiteshorse Check out the track tomorrow and get down early on the day itself. You’ll want to see this lot. @sunswarmband
