Black Orchid Empire

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE create huge, memorable rock music that combines heavy-hitting savagery with intense melodic beauty. Their technical, fearlessly complex grooves and gigantic sing-along choruses have already earned them a widespread fanbase. A ferociously tight live band, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have toured Europe and the UK extensively, supporting Skunk Anansie, HED P.E, INME, Cellar Darling and Black Map as well as festival slots at Download, Standon Calling, Tech Fest, Teddy Rocks and Planet Rockstock. Following on from album releases with Long Branch Records and Season Of Mist, the band now sign with Year Of The Rat Records (Save Us, Lastelle, Kite Thief) and release the first single 'Angelfire' on the 7th February 2025 ahead of their upcoming UK tour.

Ghost Arcadia are an alternative/modern rap metal band who live by the mantra "Genre is dead". Renowned for their intense live energy and willingness to blend heavy riffs with moments of emotional vulnerability, they've carved out a reputation for dynamic, genre-fluid shows that refuse to be pigeonholed. Since their formation in 2019, the band have been steadily building momentum, with performances that balance raw power, cathartic emotion, and technical precision in equal measure. Vocalist Reuben Beau Davies leads with visceral screams and soaring melodies, while Anthony Hollis (rhythm guitar), Adam Ford (lead guitar), and Ali McCreadie (drums) drive the sound with relentless energy, pushing audiences through waves of adrenaline, introspection, and release.
