FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS
The LMC wouldn't be where it is without the support from a number of different individuals and groups. The network we're building puts us in touch with promoters, producers, agents, photographers - and those people are listed below!
​
PLEASE NOTE this is not an exhaustive list, we update it all the time as we grow our network, so if you think someone is missing, we might not have added them yet! If you're an LMC member
The Fighting Cocks
From helping us to run some of our most eventful shows to providing a venue for wedding receptions, The Fighting Cocks is a legendary venue who have worked hard to develop the strong relationship we now have. Featured in TV shows (Good Omens), video games (Assassin's Creed Syndicate), and in more accounts of best places to enjoy London's nightlife than I can count (I'd run out of fingers), the Fighting Cocks has always welcomed us and we would always recommend them to anyone looking for a great night out!
​
Rich Crooks
One of our favourite gig photographers. With a wide array of cameras available for use to achieve a multi-angle pro-shot footage, Rich is reasonably priced and easy to work with (even if he has a new found aversion to morris dancers...)
​
Loud Enough? magazine
On the list of hard working journalists fighting to represent the alternative scene at it's best, Darren and Loud Enough? Magazine are near the top. Well written pieces detail the ins and outs of a smorgasboard of bands and events. If you scroll through their articles, you'll spot a huge amount of support for LMC bands, and Darren is never far away from the front row of your fave band's latest show. We praise community as the central value of the LMC, and Loud Enough? are a vision of that community in every single way.
​
MSH Music
Morning Star Heresy is an extreme metal record label based in the United Kingdom. Operating as a hybrid label for artists under their roster as well as a label services agency for unsigned artists, providing digital marketing tools.
GSD Events
An events management group formed of three strong promoter forces in the LMC, Casey (Halberd), Debs (Detoxen / Call of Fenrir), and Tyler. There are plans for ever bigger shows to serve the underground scene in London.
​
Aurovine
Aurovine is an independent music discovery platform built specifically to support new and up n coming artists, but also to show music fans that there is a new way to invest in those artists that day on day are struggling to get noticed. Aurovine is interested in quality, not quantity. We`re on the look out for artists of all genres, from rock and metal, to hip hop, rap, alternative, jazz, blues and Afro Beats. We welcome all!
​
UK Death Dealers
UKDeathDealers is a platform created for the love of UK death metal and UK underground metal. They write news, reviews, reports on live shows and support bands by promoting them through social media content.
​
UK Thrashers
UK Thrashers is a thrash-focused group boosting the music in the resurging UK thrash scene. Recently, Neil has begun to take on bands as a manager! If you go on their page, posts with their fire orange logo are for news, reviews and interviews - anything in digital green relates to band management, booking and PR.
​
Monsta Ents
The inimitable Mick Wood, a living legend in underground music. Best known at the moment for running the Metal to the Masses initiative in London, he has a deep history with alternative music, especially in London. Mick runs a number of successful shows outside of the initiative, including the highly enjoyable Synthetic Culture night, that saw one Mr Debenham toddle out at 7am not knowing which way is up...
​
The_Plan_Is_To_Escape
Cai is the designer behind not only our logo, but also behind the artwork for our CoFest shirts and some of the artwork for bands in the LMC. Recently, he's also worked on the EP artwork for Worship the Sacrifice. He is open for commissions and has worked on a lot of metal artwork - highly recommended!
​
Signature Brew
Our home from home! The LMC community gets such a strong boost from face to face interaction, and this needs a venue to host us. Signature Brew not only give us a place to hold our meetings, but also reinforce that relationship by allowing us to drink their delicious beers while we're there, AND if that wasn't enough they've thrown their name (and aforementioned delicious beers) behind some of our biggest events. Not saying that the brew breeds success, but there's a definite correlation...

(our preferred venue is the Blackhorse Road venue!)
The Dev
Nestled in the heart of Camden, The Devonshire Arms (known best as The Dev) is the home of some of the best up-close-and-personal metal events, and a popular drinking hole for the metal community. The staff are wicked, hilarious, and very supportive of what we do. This year, they've played host to M2TM London, as well as being an active festival stage for Desertfest. They have directly hosted tonnes of LMC shows, including most recently the Detoxen album launch!
​
New Cross Inn
When we came up with the truly ridiculous idea of running our own two day festival, the New Cross Inn were more than happy to help and became instrumental in making it happen. The venue hosts increasingly ridiculous bands proving it is a cornerstone of alternative music. Friendly staff and two reasonably priced bars means you can always enjoy a night at the NXI!
