Live Review : Bad Omens + Bilmuri + The Ghost Inside @ Live Co-op Arena, Manchester on November 28th 2025

For anyone still bemoaning the lack of a new generation of festival headliners they should get a load of the rapid ascent of Bad Omens. In a little over eight years they have accelerated from Satan's Hollow, via the Ritz to command the cavernous enormity of the Co-op Arena. As Noah will confess latter on, they are 500 tickets of selling out the place. Bad Omens have achieved this feat by winning over a fanbase of fresh blood devotees, enticed by their emotive brand of metal.

Live Review : Bad Omens + Ghøstkid + Oxymorrons @ O2 Ritz, Manchester on February 28th 2023

First up are the rap metal band Oxymorrons. Their mix of influences is impressive, and with their energetic and funky grooves they soon have everyone nodding along. They’ll appeal to fans of Fever333 and Skindred for sure, but they're also not afraid to break out some Turnstile type tunes too. One of the things that really impressees me about Oxymorrons is their ability to switch things up and keep the audience engaged.
