This is incredibly sad to see. So many companies I’ve worked alongside over the years gone in the blink of an eye. I was so excited to work in the London film industry when I joined as a wide-eyed teenager all those years ago. I don’t even recognise it anymore. Hoping everyone lands on their feet.

Another great show last night with the awesome Ramkot from Belgium. We put on our first show last year and did 4 more throughout 2024. We’re already 3 shows into 2025 with some bands we can’t believe are coming to Southend. It means a lot. Next up the mighty @burnermetal.bsky.social and Underdark

There’s far too little NieR popping up on the Bluesky feed. Where are all my NieR fans at? I’m optimistic this is the year we get a new one announced… maybe… hopefully #NieR #Videogames

Been checking out bands from Japan ahead of my trip next year and found some amazing ones. The underground scene looks very healthy there which is awesome. Anyone have any venue / band recommendations? Will be there in August in both Tokyo and Kyoto. #MetalSky

What a way to wrap up 2024. It’s mad to think we only started Drop the Ego this year, and some of the bands we’ve got lined up for next year genuinely blows my mind. Here’s a little taster of last night featuring headbanging Santa hats and the awesome Ominous Moon, CogaS, Overthrow #MetalSky

Slight lineup change, but just 48 hours until we open the doors to this bad boy. This will be our last Drop the Ego show of the year, and the line-up is insane! Any local folks, please come down and make it one to remember. #Metalsky #Deathmetalsky Tickets: droptheego.bigcartel.com
