Vended carve out a new era of chaos
ABBI DRAPER-SCOTT
THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER/PROFILER
RESCUE ROOMS, NOTTINGHAM
The sons of Slipknot start to forge their own, frenzied dynasty
BRISTOL NU METALCORE trio PROFILER are, if the reaction to their set is anything to go by, destined for big things. Inciting pits and synchronised headbanging from the very beginning, they garner a huge response from an audience baying for more. Musically, however, they’re fairly hit-andmiss –while there are moments that sparkle, especially during All In Forever, there’s not a huge deviation from a well-trodden path of licks and grooves that bands like Graphic Nature have done far better.
