Smote (UK), Codex Serafini (UK) in Berlin

Smote, once a solo endeavor by Daniel Foggin, now expanded to a fuller ensemble blends traditional instrumentation — creaking strings, funeral drums, somber winds — with thunderous synth work and desolate guitar to craft drone and dirge. A full-scale psychic voyage into the ether and a drone-and-repetition-fuelled series of incantations that takes simple, primal ingredients and utilises them for the purposes of aural sorcery, summoning spectres and revelations aplenty in its wake. Special guest: Codex Serafini Codex Serafini are a Saturnian Ritualistic band hailing from outer-space, currently passing through Earth and temporally residing in Sussex. They are keen to spread their message as far and wide as is possible in their current forms. Doors: 19:00 | Show: 20:00 Neue Zukunft (Alt Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin)
