Faetooth

If you are looking to catch something genuinely unique in the heavy music scene next month, mark your calendar for Sunday, February 15th. That’s when the Los Angeles trio Faetooth is scheduled to make their Brighton debut at Patterns as part of their extensive Europe & UK Tour 2026. Formed in 2019, the band is composed of Ari May (guitar and vocals), Jenna Garcia (bass and vocals), and Rah Kanan (drums). They have carved out a niche for themselves by defining their sound as 'fairy doom,' a distinctive fusion that pulls elements from doom metal, black metal, shoegaze, and sludge. Their music focuses heavily on themes of personal vulnerability, musical experimentation, and exploring the beauty and mystery of the natural world, offering a sound that stands apart from typical metal acts.

This tour is primarily supporting their recent album, Labyrinthine, which was released in September 2025. The gig is happening at Patterns, located at 10 Marine Parade. It’s a smaller venue, known for its intimate atmosphere, with a capacity of around 250 people, which should make for a focused and intense performance. For those planning their evening, the doors are set to open at 7:00 PM (19:00), with the event itself scheduled to kick off shortly after at 7:30 PM (19:30). The show is being presented locally by both The Beauty Witch and Divergent Promotions.

Regarding tickets, prices are generally hovering between £15.00 and £17.00, with a common price point being £16.50. You can secure your spot through platforms like See Tickets and DICE. It’s important to note the age restriction for the venue: this is a 14+ event, meaning anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. If you are heading down to check out this blend of heavy sound and ethereal themes, remember to bring photo identification if you plan on purchasing drinks.
