On what seems like a rather fitting date for a Satanic folk band (yes, you read correctly, we did say Satanic folk band) to play a gig, Ancient VVisdom open their first ever UK tour right here in Brighton. Reminiscent of Alice In Chains, early Metallica and Danzig but with an acoustic ‘unholier than thou’ twist, their debut album ‘A Godlike Inferno’ is dark, moody and thought provoking campfire music from hell. It’s also worth mentioning that the Texas foursome are huge Charles Manson fans and released a split EP with the cult leader/incarcerated songwriter in 2010.
