25 years of Darkness.
There are not many things that we continue to do for a quarter of a century, but In Malice’s Wake are still here - hundreds of shows later, 5 incredible albums later and an possessing absolute lifetime of memories since the band's inception in 2001.
This November, join In Malice’s Wake, Dreadnaught, Demonhead and Rawtism at the Leadbeater Hotel on Friday November 27th, as we revisit deep cuts spanning all the way back from 2007’s Eternal Nightfall, through to 2026’s The Profound Darkness.
This evening will be a true celebration and a welcome return of friends and past members, featuring the notoriously intense live show of death/thrash brutality that the band has become known for. We are planning to feature a brilliant light show, original artwork displays, galleries, giveaways and plenty more to make the night feel like the event it should.
Dreadnaught will make a triumphant return to the stage after a period of writing new material. One of the few bands that have a history spanning back to the 90s, they are a true force of nature and a pure blend of energy and aggression.
Demonhead are an incredible addition to this lineup, featuring some of the best riffs and songwriting you’ll ever hear, another band with an incredible rich history and frontman Dave Lowes being one of the earliest In Malice’s Wake members - the bands’ stories have been intertwined since the beginning.
Rawtism will open the night featuring absolutely explosive firepower. The band has become known for raw energy, incredible songwriting and live intensity. They have come off a run of many shows and are a sharply pointed weapon to kick things off.
