SUMMARY:HMLTD
LOCATION:London Village Underground
DESCRIPTION:Special Guests - HMLTD’s third album\, FANGS (to be released 
 23 October\, 2026)\, could not be further away from their last outing\, 20
 23 rock opera The Worm. A return to the band’s origins as purveyors of v
 iolent\, genre-pushing experimentation\, and avant-garde provocation and c
 onfrontation\, Fangs is a total reinvention and rehabilitation of the goth
  genre\, through the looking glass of post-internet electronic and doomscr
 oll-era dance music. In HMLTD’s version of dance music\, cacophonous sub
 -bass becomes a chthonic call of the void\; seraphic rave synths the scree
 ch of Valkyries\; four-to-the-floor a deathly funeral march. Vampire apoca
 lypse. The result is both unique and terrifying\, modern and original\, an
 d the dawn of a new era the band call Götherdammerüng - Wagner’s ‘Tw
 ilight of the Gods’ made Goth.Devoted disciples of Wagner’s notion of 
 the Gesamtkunstwerk (or ‘total artwork’)\, Fangs is the band’s lates
 t exercise in expansive world-building\; a practice they have perfected ov
 er their near-decade in London’s underground music scene. Their uncompro
 mising live shows have achieved cult status for going far beyond the bound
 aries of an ordinary gig\, harnessing elaborate set design\, costume\, act
 ors and performance artists to create immersive\, multi-sensory\, particip
 atory live experiences that blur the boundary between audience and artist.
  For their 2022 show at Heaven\, the band interrogated freedom and authori
 ty\; building a ‘fictional totalitarian state’ called ‘The Order’ 
 inside the venue\, complete with unique alternative identities for every a
 udience member\, and an alternate reality game based on the Stanford Priso
 n Experiment in which the audience had to work together to overthrow The O
 rder.According to singer Henry Spychalski\, these avant-garde and otherwor
 ldly experiments serve a wider point: “Imagination is a radical politica
 l and spiritual act” he says\, “through imagining other worlds\, you d
 raw attention to the contingency of your own and unveil it for what it tru
 ly is: imagined. To imagine is to dream another world\, and the first step
  to creating one.” The world crafted in Fangs is a thoroughly gothic one
  - teeming with glowing horror\, imperceptible evil\, digital dismembermen
 t\, ancient curses and ruined castles… vampires! As Spychalski explains
 \, “we no longer understand the systems we have built - from AGI to the 
 vast abstractions of global capital. And so\, it is time to resurrect the 
 ghosts that modernity attempted to bury: plague pits\, witches\, vampires
 \, as a way of mapping a new demonology and so plotting a resistance. Fang
 s is our call for A Gothic Insurrection.”\n\nBoletos: https://wegotticke
