Battle of the Brew is back for round XIV.

If you've been to any of the previous nights, you already know the drill: proper beer, a solid grassroots lineup, and zero entry fee. Signature Brew and The London Metal Coalition are teaming up again on Friday, 23rd October to showcase some of the best independent heavy music the city has to offer.

Taking the headline slot this time around is Wargrave. They’ve been building a serious reputation on the live circuit, delivering a heavy, no-nonsense set that gets straight to the point. You will be banging your heads to this!

They're joined by Cutlass, and if you haven't caught them live yet, you're in for a brilliant time. They're a dedicated pirate-metal crew, so expect a loud, chaotic set that practically demands you have a pint in your hand.

Also stepping up to the plate are Shackle and Forgotten Sentiment. Both bands are bringing some serious weight to the bill, so don't be that person hanging around outside—get in early and support the openers.

The Coalition Bazaar will be running throughout the night, setting up shop with independent stalls. It’s the perfect excuse to pick up some new patches, underground merch, and artwork directly from the creators between sets.

As always, this whole night is completely FREE ENTRY. Doors are at 6:30 PM at Signature Brew in Walthamstow (Blackhorse Road, E17 5QJ). Come down early, support the London metal scene, and grab a beer.
