Pattern Recognition are delighted to welcome two stalwarts of the Dark Ambient Power Electronics scene Colossloth & Satori on a double headline show, both promoting new albums for 2026 on the esteemed Cold Spring Records label.
Opening the evening and setting the tone, we are thrilled to showcase Exeter’s own A Waste of Damnation.
Colossloth
Fom the wild hedgerows and deep dark rivers of the Midlands, Leicestershire’s Colossloth makes psychogeographic maladies and invocations to warm the heart of the discerning and intrepid psychonaut. Phonic seeds planted in Blackened soil fertilised by visceral imagination. A fugitive ambience for those seeking solace in the unexpected.
Aside from sharing the stage with the likes of Pop Will Eat Itself, FRET (Mick Harris), Jarboe, Discharge, Acid Mothers Temple, Tim Hecker, Damo Suzuki, Terminal Gods, Bong, and Zoviet France, Colossloth’s music alternates between the brooding and abrasive to the transcendental and enchanted. With nods to a multitude of genres – from industrial and ethnic tribalism to the bastard ghosts of rave, it’s spirit can be found crucified in between the anode and cathode of occult circuitry, transmitting across modern England whispered messages from the lips of the old gods of Albion.

Satori
On a mission to explore cinematic soundscapes, pounding rhythms and tortured lyrics. Comprising a mixture of harsh noise and power electronics with hard and heavy percussive beats providing a constant pervasive undercurrent of violence, the feeling of a planet on the verge of collapse and a reflection of the lack of humanity embedded in a culture based on greed and self-preservation.
Dave Kirby – deliberately distorting things for 40 years.
