• Javier Reyes – guitar
  
• Matt Garstka – drums

This band from Reading, England, is playing a metal at the crossing of trash, death and progressive. Quite technical and powerfull with deep voice from the singer. Vocalist/lead guitar Josh Middleton is quite passive on stage, but that is often the case when you have to focus too much on your music. Rhythm guitar Alex Bailey looks shy on stage. Bass guitar Carl Parnell is quite the headbanger. Drum was taken over by Ali Richardson from Bleed From Within, and was thanked by Josh as they would not have been able to play otherwise. Not sure if this is only for the show or the tour though! The public was quite enthusiastic and circle pit was all around the pit!

Setlist:

1. Fear The World

2. Stained Humanity

3. Conclusion Of An Age

4. All Is Not Well

5. Teras

6. Altered States of Consciousness
