Ancient Gates 2 ft Witchskull (CAN), Elko Fields, Couch Wizard (NSW), Lotus Ship, Feral Fatigue and Silver Orbs.

Unlock the entry and immerse yourself in deep heavy groove. Beats Cartel presents ANCIENT GATES 2, a curated lineup of some of the country’s finest Psych/Stoner/Rock/Metal outfits for one big night of mind-bending revelry at Mo’s Desert Clubhouse on Friday 27 March featuring Witchskull (CAN), Elko Fields, Couch Wizard (NSW), Lotus Ship, Feral Fatigue and Silver Orbs.

Canberra’s Witchskull have become one of the most genuinely intriguing and bludgeoning bands in the scene today, injecting every last moment of their rampaging anthems with a jolting dose of lysergic menace in a lauded career spanning over a decade.

Blending new wave British Heavy Metal and traditional Doom, coupled with an authentic insight into the occult and mesmerising lyrics, the band have topped the famed ‘Doom Charts’ and supported the likes of Church of Misery (JAP), Acid King (USA), 1000mods (GRE), Beastwars (NZ), Nashville Pussy (USA) and more.

More a brotherhood than a band, Witchskull unleash a stripped back, groove driven primal sound with the aggression that you would expect a 3-piece Australian band to deliver.  “One of the best doom shows anywhere in the world” – Doomed and Stoned

Appearing with a quality mixed bill including Elko Fields (after a rave review set at Double Baked in Jan), Northern Rivers psych party Couch Wizard, the return of venue faves Lotus Ship after a solid hiatus, Brisbane’s Feral Fatigue and newcomers Silver Orbs.

“This is a pretty exciting bill man. Some of our favourite scene acts all together for a mixed bag of mind bend. An underground independent psych/stoner/rock/metal bill simply doesn’t get much better in this part of the world for the price.” Christian Tryhorn at Beats Cartel
