The Black Map #201: King Abyss from Uttoxeter!

After our trip from Manchester and Footprints In The Custard to Devon and Kill All The Gentlemen, this week’s entry in The Black Map, our weekly look at one of the lessee lights of heaven from the United Kingdom Underground Metal scene finds us in Uttoxeter.

A pair of well received EPs in 2017’s “Reborn” and 2018’s “…The Destroyer Of Worlds” have seen them share stages with Tech-Fest favourites The Cartographer as well as American Deathcore titans The Last Ten Seconds Of Life while joining Ingested at the Unearthed Music Christmas Party to close 2021 in style.
