Abraxxum Rising
With the DIOCLETIAN tour selling out across the UK, we’ve saved a little treat for the final show in Birmingham. Discordant, dissonant, and utterly compelling, we present ABRAXXUM. Occult Power Electronics and Ritual Darkness. A rare (if only) opportunity to witness their Great Work. The Steel Jaws of Choronzom close tight.

Osaka Kaos
DIOCLETIAN laid waste to Osaka on Friday, with an thoroughly crushing performance at Socore Factory.
