One of the UK's fastest-rising heavy acts delivering a masked, high-impact take on modern nu metal.
BLACKGOLD play The Classic Grand on Friday 6 November, with the night starting at 19:00. They're one of the UK's fastest-rising heavy acts, and they describe their sound as a masked, high-impact take on modern nu metal built for big stages and bigger crowds. It's a blend of big riffs, hip-hop flow, and turntable textures, all held together by an explosive live presence.
The band is a collaboration of musicians with backgrounds in other notable acts. They formed in 2006 and started writing and recording shortly after their initial tours, so there's a fair bit of history behind the name. The show is presented by PCL Presents, and it's for ages 14+, with under-18s admitted with a responsible adult.

If you're not familiar with the nu metal tag, it's a style that pulls from heavy metal, hip hop, and alternative rock, and the description here points to exactly that: the riffs, the flow, and the turntables. It's a combination that's designed for a live room rather than a quiet listen, and the masked element adds a bit of theatricality to the whole thing. The Classic Grand is at 18 Jamaica St, Glasgow, G1 4QD, and tickets are £18.75.
