DRAUGRHEIM

Metal to the Masses East Anglia 2025 Finalists Draugrheim stand tall in the underground metal scene, blazing a trail of incendiary shows from Suffolk to York. Draugrheim brings monumental, metallic riffs, grooves and hooks to forge their brand of Mythologically inspired Melodic Death Metal with a live show that takes no prisoners.

Moving forwards from the relatively tentative start of the Sword Oath, Draugrheim’s forthcoming first Album ‘Blood and Steel’ exhibits newfound confidence and certainty as well as their deep roots in 90s Melodeath brought up-to-date and garnished with tales of life, death, mythology and ancient war.

According to Moshville times, the album “punches like Mike Tyson in his prime” and is “In parts muscular, melodic, hook-laden, and catchy, this is an album that makes you want to bang your head, throw some horns, and stomp your way through the pit!”

ARMS TO OBLIVION

Since the cementing of their lineup in 2019, Ipswich
based Groove Metallers Arms To Oblivion have barely
lifted off the gas. With flavours of such top shelf acts as
Pantera, Metallica, Tool, and Killswitch Engage, it's easy
to see why an amazing crowd reception at shows is a
given. Featuring Doug "Burton " Warren (Vocals), Pete
Finch (Guitar), Brent Brown (Bass), and Matt Kelly
(Drums), Arms to Oblivion have the grit, determination,
power, and heart to push far
beyond the sleepy hollow of
East Anglia.
