It was the night that was spawned from the merge of Halloween and Diwali the night before, and witches must have cast their spells on The Devonshire Arms in Camden, London. This place hasn't changed for years, but it still has a vibe of London from the 80s. You can still find the same weirdos roaming around the place with dim lighting casting Iong shadows, sticky floors, and walls adorned with posters of legendary bands. The air's you feel is thick with a mix of anticipation and the smell of stale beer. The Dev has stories etched into its very foundation, and I am so glad it hasn't changed in so many years.
There, Halloween witches have spawned that in The Dev will be the album launch party of Cutlass, new band on London Scene. A pure pirate metal with the rich warm guitar sounds, so nostalgic of the 80s with good, strong mix of heroic gallops and melodic riffs. Yes, there are pirates in London and Cutlass, that old sea dog have proven that last night. They have awakened the Kraken and are walking the plank of stardom right now. This band can punch so sweet and raw. They were welcomed by Kaine, a band that has been on the scene for quite some years and is true hope for me that British metal scene is coming back. They have futuristic medieval melody with action packed riffs and I have to praise the band how much they were supporting Cutlass album, honouring them through several songs intervals.
It was amazing night, a perfect storm of quality metal with hyped crowd feeding of music!
Parking: be very careful where you park
I went here because other reviewers mentioned they played punk and metal but all I heard was Comercial early 2000s american nu metal the entire 3 hours I attended. Bartenders seemed bothered I was there to spend money on drinks. The drinks were fairly priced. If you're a fan of Death, Thrash, Punk and Grindcore, you may want to avoid this place.
Frogging Brilliant Metal Pub. What a time to be alive

Atmospheric place, moderate prices.

Great music, atmosphere and beers. I love it here!
Best metal pub in Camden, with the best people working behind the bar for an amazing time, every time.
Great place if you enjoy metal and heavy music, very friendly barstaff, brilliant weekend atmosphere.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor accessible, there might be a small step at the door.
Positive alternative vibes and a great range of alt bands on most weekends!
Great service and lovely staff. Beer kept well and so much better than the elephants head on the corner on high street.
If in Rome. Visit.
