Imminence, Aviana & Allt, Electric Ballroom, London - 10.10.24
The last time I was at the Electric Ballroom was circa 6 years ago to see a Korean Rap group called Epik High and the venue is exactly as I remembered it - electrifying (no pun intended... or maybe just a little). The queue formed outside but went down really quickly and unfortunately as I entered, I realised I had forgotten my earplugs. I did ask the bar staff if they had any spare but they hadn't.
The venue was really full from the offset as eager fans were excited to see all the bands, first up were the progressive metalcore band, Allt (8). The lights dimmed and "Daylight, we haven't seen it in forever. It's all just different shades of ash" belting out Remnant. Allt were blazing the stage their presence which echoes through the crowd as mosh pits formed. Allt mainly performed songs from their debut album From The New World. All the members put their all into their performance but Robin on vocals really stood out. I was so impressed by the visceral low growls and screams.
Aviana (8) hit the ground running from the moment they jumped on stage with their latest single, Delirium. Most of the songs were from Corporation which highlighted how they can mix genres seamlessly with metalcore and electronic sounds. They hyped the crowd up by playing fan favourites such as Retaliation, Oblivion, Rage and Anomaly.
The crowd were now riled up from Allt and Avianas performances, the cheering and rumbling was elevating the crowd even more, clearly very excited to see Imminence (8). The stage looked like it had old church style windows in the background, with Eddie's violin glistening on the stage. A shadowy figure emerged from the back in a long black hooded cape, white lights then illuminated the stage with the figure fuming over the crowd.

"Come hell or high water" faintly ruminated from the stage. After this, the hooded figure took off the cape to unsurprisingly reveal Eddie. Imminence performed most of their songs from The Black, including my personal favourite Infectious. Everything about Imminence was immense. Their stage presence, vocals, instrumentals... all of it made for an amazing show that I will remember for a long time and hope to see them again live.
Throughout the night, the lighting was probably some of the best I've seen. It matched the music tempo so well and was part of the experience of hyping the crowd up. The red, blues and white filtered through the crowd for Allt, blue purple for Aviana, and green and lilac for Imminence, just like the Northern Lights that glisten over Sweden.
