The 10th Anniversary of the controversial “About That Life” from Party Deathcore collective Attila brings all the boys (and girls) to the yard for a sold out show at the iconic Camden Underworld. At the time it saw the band abandon some of the lead guitar work and Death Metal moments from predecessor “Outlawed” in
The “Eternal Blue” tour is one of a number of recent runs that have been not only sold out but had venue upgrades, such is the clamour to witness heroes like Spiritbox. The decision to have the much loved Loathe on board for this run is astute business and gives it the feel of a co-headliner
