+ More VISRA was the name that came to be after founding HELLBOURNE, the event formed on the premise that it would be for alternative audiences who also indulged in darker, harder dance music. Since the decline

of the industrial music events in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for many years, he was determined to run this event.


HELLBOURNE eventually evolved into a Hardcore x Drum 'n' Bass and Techno event - Expanding into breakcore, jungle and J-core sub-genres. INSURGENCE caters more towards the alternative/electronic audience
with a fresh take on alternative electronic nights, including cyberpunk-midtempo along with retro-synthwave and techno body music.


NIGHTBREED came to fill the void in the goth community in the city. A one-night only proved to be successful and thus decided to run from quarterly to now monthly nights which started at Prohibition Cabaret Bar, now based in the familar alternative venue - The Globe. It is hosted by both Visra and Angel Vampire.

Headliner Announced! We'll be supporting Deathmachine!
Check out the post below from Beat:Cancer!!!

If you know then you know we're not messing about.
So stoked to be supporting a major PRSPCT artist.

Stef Eyre’s (AKA Deathmachine) started DJing in 1998 and since then has always active in the studio with his focus on creating powerful genre-pushing (but still of course danceable) music that engages the listener on a number of levels.

His background in underground Hardcore along with his new work in the direction of Crossbreed and D’n’B results in diversity both in the studio and in the clubs.

Deathmachine has played at many large events around Europe (Dominator Festival (NL), Defqon Festival (NL), Boomtown Festival (UK), Therapy Sessions (BE/CZ/PT), Astropolis Festival (FR), Maxipulse (FR), Nightmare Outdoor Festival (NL)).

A hard intense musical experience is guaranteed whenever he plays.

It's been one year since I first released "The Inevitable End" There's been multiple revisions of it as I continue learning to mix and master. But I've decided to get it mastered by Ben Christopher to finish it once and for all as the final mix.

But I have just finished a new song called "Crushed By Sin"
A Doomcore soundtrack of humanities descent into depravity and immorality akin to monsters.

"If you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
If you are surrounded by evil for a long time. You too, will lose your sense of righteousness.

God has always been dead. No one will save us.

Listen to it here on Soundcloud:
