Support bands: Violet Vortex.

Rome Burns are the UK's most charming Goth band. According to Mercer: "Their music can at times be rawly invigorating while at others takes on a more soothing glow, dazzling you with restraint and the best lyrics the UK Goth scene has actually witnessed". Mercer also adds that Rome Burns "are so head and shoulders above the rest I think they've also been designing stilts", praise indeed!

Violet Vortex are a fairly new band hailing from Lancashire who play dark gothic rock with a slight industrial twist. Think Suspiria crossed with "Tyranny of Inaction"-era Rosetta Stone.
