Electric Bristol is about to erupt. On September 28th, post-hardcore trailblazers We Came As Romans return to the UK with a lineup that reads like a manifesto for modern heavy music. With support from Canadian deathcore juggernauts Brand of Sacrifice and Australia’s genre-defying Heavensgate, this is a night built for headbangers, screamers, and seekers of sonic transcendence.
Since emerging in 2005, We Came As Romans have been relentless in their pursuit of emotional truth through crushing sound. From their breakout To Plant A Seed to the critically acclaimed Darkbloom, the Michigan quintet—Joshua Moore, Dave Stephens, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—have fused metalcore, electronics, and arena-sized hooks into a sound that’s both punishing and poetic.
Their latest single “BAD LUCK” is a thunderous reflection on perseverance, loss, and rebirth. With lyrics like “I spent all my life wondering why the bad luck always comes so easy,” the band channels grief into galvanizing energy. Expect a set that’s equal parts tribute and triumph, with tracks like “Black Hole” and “Daggers” (boasting over 100 million streams combined) guaranteed to shake the walls1.
Live, WCAR are a force of nature—tight, emotional, and unafraid to confront the darkness. This tour marks another chapter in their evolution, and Electric Bristol is the perfect crucible.
Hailing from Toronto, Brand of Sacrifice are redefining what deathcore can be. Their sound is brutal, yes—but it’s also expansive, cinematic, and laced with sci-fi grandeur. Tracks like “Lifeblood” and “Eclipse” are sonic assaults, blending blast beats, guttural vocals, and orchestral flourishes into something that feels like a battle cry from another dimension.
Their live shows are legendary for their intensity. Expect breakdowns that hit like tectonic shifts and a crowd that moves like a mosh pit in zero gravity. If WCAR are the emotional core of the night, Brand of Sacrifice are the apocalyptic exclamation point.
Opening the night is Heavensgate, a rising force from Australia who are turning heads with their genre-blurring approach to metalcore. Their music is atmospheric yet aggressive, weaving ambient textures with razor-sharp riffs and emotionally charged vocals.
With only a few releases under their belt, Heavensgate already feel like the future. Their set promises to be a slow-burning revelation—equal parts introspection and eruption. For fans of Sleep Token, Loathe, or Northlane, this is a band to watch closely.
This is a showcase of heavy music’s ability to evolve, to heal, and to connect. From WCAR’s emotional resilience to Brand of Sacrifice’s sonic warfare and Heavensgate’s atmospheric innovation, this lineup offers a full-spectrum experience of what metal can be in 2025. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, Electric Bristol on September 28th is where catharsis meets chaos—and you won’t want to miss it.
