Camden’s metal calendar tightens into an unusually coherent three-night run at The Underworld from Thursday 5 November to Saturday 7 November. Car Bomb, Krallice and Anvil share very little surface detail, which is the point: each bill catches a different way heavy music has organised force, from rhythmic dislocation to long-form black-metal construction to the durable hook and riff. With all three in one basement across consecutive nights, this is a useful miniature history of metal’s competing instincts, staged at room scale. The Underworld’s listings confirm the Thursday, Friday and Saturday sequence.[1]

Thursday 5 November: Car Bomb and Frontierer

Car Bomb open the route at 7pm with Frontierer, a pairing that makes the week begin at maximum compression. The Brooklyn group’s own catalogue moves from Centralia through Meta and Mordial to 2025’s Tiles Whisper Dreams EP; its official tour page places the London date inside a compact UK and Ireland run. Those titles offer a practical entry point for listeners arriving early, but the live proposition rests in the collision of abrupt structure and dense instrumental detail. Frontierer’s presence keeps the bill centred on contemporary, technically exacting heaviness.[1][2][3]

Friday 6 November: Krallice’s long horizon

Friday shifts the emphasis from impact to expanse. Krallice arrive at The Underworld at 6pm with Fange, and the band’s Bandcamp page lays out a deep, deliberately unruly release trail: Scour Order, Inorganic Rites, Mass Cathexis 2 – The Kinetic Infinite, Porous Resonance Abyss and earlier records sit alongside each other. The page identifies the group with Queens, New York, and dates its formation to 2007. In this three-night sequence, that active catalogue supplies the bridge between Car Bomb’s tight shocks and a set likely framed by scale, texture and endurance.[1][4]

Saturday 7 November: Anvil looks back to the first records

Anvil close the run at 6pm with Killer, placing classic heavy-metal economy after two nights of more recent extremity. The Underworld’s official event page says this Pounding the Past date draws exclusively from Anvil’s first three albums: Hard ’n’ Heavy, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire. That sharply defined premise gives Saturday a particular usefulness. It is a chance to hear the older grammar plainly—the song-sized frame, the direct riff, the chorus-ready title—after Thursday’s fractured motion and Friday’s extended forms.[1]

Making the Camden run

Treat this as three separate evenings or a concentrated survey of metal’s internal languages. Car Bomb and Frontierer start Thursday 5 November at 7pm; Krallice and Fange begin Friday 6 November at 6pm; Anvil and Killer begin Saturday 7 November at 6pm, all at The Underworld. The Anvil page lists a 10pm curfew, while its page also describes the event as 14+.
