Servants /// Serpents presents:

The return of LOE (Last of Edent) to Manchester.

LOE last headed up the inaugural AKARI Festival in late November, at a busy 33 Oldham Street, blending atmopsheric instrumental post-rock with striking visuals to create a unique and powerful exhibition of experimental music.

Along with AKARI, Last of Eden have headlined the likes of Celestial Diadem festival so far in 2025, adding to an impressive collection of significant dates, including performances at Post-in-Paris as well as opening for Sleepmakeswaves, p.g.Lost & Foxing.

Hot on the heels of latest EP 'I Was Not Magnificent', which saw the band continue their impressive run of selling out each special edition Vinyl release, this show promises songs from the current EP release, from their critically acclaimed first record 'The World and Everything In It', along with the upcoming follow-up sophomore record.

Joining LOE on their triumphant return to Manchester is local favourites Civil Service.
Fresh from performances at this years' StrangeForms festival at Leeds Brudenell Social Club, the band are enjoying their busiest year to date, with performances at London's Celestial Diadem weekender, as well as 2 national tours; firstly with Ripcord Records label mates Million Moons and Solars, before heading out on a series of dates with Overhead, the Albatross -&- FORT. Civil Service have built on 2024's well received debut ///LIGHT with an expanded live show and new songs, in anticipation of new music being released before the end of 2025. 

"Civil Service already sound like seasoned pros and that’s a testament to the care they have for their craft." - Phil Weller, Prog Magazine.


SOLARS make their return to Manchester building on February's highly successful Ripcord Records Tour with Million Moons; and ahead of a November reprise of the tour (Ripcord Records Tour II - with Vnder A Crvmbling Moon / Helve). 
Solars well received 2024 record A Fading Future saw a wealth of rave reviews and a host of dates in their native Birmingham with some of the stand-out acts in the post rock scene.

Solars have produced a delightful, rich, dark and heavy release which has set them apart from the usual post-rock crowd - Echoes and Dust.

Rounding out one of the years' most stacked Post-rock line-ups of the year are Liverpool's finest, Kusanagi. Returning to Manchester following shooting to prominance with Paramnesia, their latest record. As well as overwhelmingly positive reviews from all of the big-hitters in the scene, the album has propelled the band back into the post rock limelight; it surely won't be long until the band return to the top-tables of ArcTangent, StrangeForms and festivals further afield. A band once dormant are now exploding back to life with a busy tour schedule for the remainder of 2025, but this is your first chance to hear Paramnesia in Manchester, following it's release in late May.

"Kusanagi continue to carve out their own niche in the world of progressive and post-rock, offering an album that promises to be a milestone in their already impressive discography." - Buttonpusher
