Live review: Neck Deep, O2 Academy Birmingham
It’s night one of Neck Deep’s Dumbstruck Dumbfuck tour, and it’s the weekend. Are we ready to let all inhibitions go and be a useless doofus? Absolutely!
If you like your metal technical, then step right up.

Seattle four-piece Vespera release their full-length debut album, The Thoughts That Plague You, in 2018, with a release date yet to be confirmed. But here's a pretty solid indication of what we can expect, with a K! premiere for their new single Obsidian Dreams.
This really is something to get excited about; it's big, it's technical and that riff is a big chunk of groovy goodness. Vespera are concocting a sound we can get behind, and their upcoming album should be something to behold.
Talking about the new song, vocalist Jonathan Wolfe says: “'Obsidian Dreams' is a prequel to 'Bloom'. It focuses on the apex of someone's mental anguish and the self-reflection they undergo. It's the moment of nostalgia and hopelessness an individual experiences before they enter the next chapter of their lives."
