Since 1997, Akercocke have stood as a pillar of extreme metal—an unyielding force born from the underground music scene of London. 

Their notoriety quickly became realised among those drawn to the darker edges of sound: music that challenges, unsettles, and revels in an uncompromising vision. Across six studio albums—and through tireless presence in the heavy metal press, alongside touring across the globe—the band have carved their legacy into the genre’s very foundations. 

Blending a multitude of influences with rare precision, Akercocke forge an unmistakable sound: ferocious yet intricate, savage yet steeped in depth and texture. In recent years, they have summoned their most revered works—The Goat of Mendes and Choronzon—onto the stage in their entirety, delivering these formidable albums with mastery and unflinching intensity. 

Now, in 2026, on the crest of their 30 year anniversary Akercocke is ready to breathe new fire into their audio-visual live experience, and once again pull audiences deeper into their dark and idiosyncratic extreme metal music.
