Live Review : Graphic Nature + Cut Short + Paradigm @ The Live Rooms, Chester on July 18th 2024

Last year, Kent based Graphic Nature released their long awaited debut album “A Mind Waiting To Die”, and won over thousands of brand new fans with high energy performances at Download, 2000trees, and Reading/Leeds. Tonight they continue their upward trajectory towards potentially being the next big thing in the UK metal scene, riding the wave of the release of their stunning new album “Who Are You When No One Is Watching?” Graphic Nature have blazed into Chester for a headline slot at the Live Rooms.

Live Review : Vended + Lake Malice + Graphic Nature @ Rebellion, Manchester on June 21st 2023

Whilst Vended, Graphic Nature and Lake Malice all sound very different, they share two very important pieces of DNA. Firstly, they are building their fanbases online utilising direct social media interaction as opposed to stagnant record label endorsed marketing technics. That true kinship and ownership comes across loud and clear tonight and the power dynamic between artist and fan seems to exist on a much more unified plane. The other unifying factor is the diversity and variance of their musical reference points.

Live Review : Graphic Nature + The Human Veil + Starved @ Star and Garter, Manchester on April 21st 2023

Starved kick-off proceedings tonight, and are determined to blow away any cobwebs the crowd might have knocking about. They get the punters awake, aware and engaged – which is exactly what you want from an opening act. If you're a fan of Creak or Atari Teenage Riot, then Starved's sound and style will be right up your alley. They have a heavy dose of ten56 thrown in for good measure (as do all the bands this evening).

The band has a full setup on display, with drums, guitar, bass, laptop, and vocals all being put through their paces. The laptop is a key element in their performance, providing loads of drum and bass, jungle, and The Prodigy vibes to the mix.

Live Review : Cancer Bats + Witch Fever + Graphic Nature @ Arts Club, Liverpool on September 12th 2022

Opening tonight’s proceedings are Graphic Nature. Stepping in for XL Life on the tour, the Kent metallers are very much in the modern vein of metalcore tinged deathcore. On record they are definitely worth checking out by fans of new nu-metal bands like Blood Youth and Death Blooms, but it’s live that this five-piece come to life. Harnessing the brutal guitars and bass of Emmure, and mashing that with harsh metal-hardcore vocals akin to Loathe, they are a splendid and invigorating assault on the senses.
