METAL HAMMER INCOMING! and the label who brought you the Subverse all-age events, VISIBLE NOISE, have teamed up for DARK DAYS: a festival packed with the newest and best metal and hardcore acts around…
The one-day all-agers gig will be held at the Islington Academy and Islington Bar Academy on the 11th April 2009: two rooms of great new and established bands taking you from 2pm – 10pm.

Watch this space for more details, but expect to see the best bits of Subverse – the freshest bands, a great atmosphere, guest DJs and giveaways, but now with the expertise of the METAL HAMMER staff, a bigger venue, more bands for your money and a festival vibe.

VISIBLE NOISE ran the Subverse all-ages nights between November 2003 and March 2008 , giving many of the UK’s current megastars some of their earliest shows – BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, GALLOWS, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND and BRING ME THE HORIZON all graced the stage on their way to the top. Praise for the event came from fans, press and bands alike for giving the UK’s best talent a platform, and many were dismayed when the event closed its doors for the last time in mid 2008.

But as promised, the event is back – bigger, better and scarier…
