Metal night at O'Rileys with Slipknot tribute band Not The Knot, Hull's Silk Spinster and Dire Thorns.
Not The Knot, Silk Spinster and Dire Thorns are playing O'Rileys Live Music Venue in Hull on Friday 18 December, starting at 7:00pm. It's billed as a metal show, and the three bands on the bill come from different corners of the scene.
Not The Knot are a tribute to 90s metal legends Slipknot, so they'll be working through the masks and the heavy, percussive sound that made the Iowa outfit famous. Silk Spinster are Hull's own, billed as 'the UK's rising heavy metal force'. The Moshville Times called them 'Heavy Metal Wasteland Warriors', and Metalized Magazine described their world as 'an apocalyptic world where Mad Max meets Warhammer' — so expect something with a bit of a cinematic, wasteland edge to it. Dire Thorns come from Grimsby, playing what they describe as frantic, theatrical, Russo-English Nu-Death Metal.
Between the Slipknot tribute, the local heavy metal and the theatrical nu-death metal from across the Humber, the night covers a fair bit of ground. It's a metal show through and through, with three bands on the bill.
