Brummies were treated to a stellar line up of the good stuff at the HMV Institute, shaking off the cold of the night outside to throw down some pits that should make the home of metal proud.

First to take to the stage were Glamour Of The Kill, pulling off their refined metalcore with a touch of glam styling and a swagger that thankfully is justified. It’s rare in a night that the first band on pulls off a set that from the opening line, to closing chord keeps a crowd away from the bar and at the front of the barrier. Running from opener “Supremacy” to finisher “Feeling Alive”, GOTK keep all eyes and ears permanently fixed to the stage.

o2 Academy Sheffield played host to Enter Shikari, supported by Letlive. and Your Demise. 

Before I even set off for the venue I saw on my twitter feed that the gig had sold out, which suggested I was going to be in for a good night. 

Kicking off the night was American post-hardcore band Letlive. Front-man Jason Butler certainly knew how to get the crowd going. As the lights dimmed and they ran out on stage the crowd started screaming, Butler is known for being energetic and last night was no different, he was bouncing around the stage looking like he was enjoying every second of it.
