Hammerdown All In presents..

The Five Hundred:

The Five Hundred, a formidable force in the British heavy metal scene, hail from the industrial heartland of Nottingham. Emerging in the early 2010s, the band quickly established themselves with a sound that blends the brutal intensity of metalcore with the intricate ferocity of djent and progressive metal. Their name, a symbol of unity and collective strength, mirrors their tightly knit and powerful musical synergy.​The band’s lineup—John Eley on vocals, Mark Byrne and Paul Doughty on guitars, Andy Crawford on bass, and Kelsey James on drums—unleashes a maelstrom of sound characterised by crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and lyrics that cut deep into the soul.

n0trixx: 

At the heart of her music is her own darkness and suffering. She uses heavy trap beats, metal vocals and visceral lyrics to exorcise the demons that inhabit her. Originally a Russian native, in March 2022, n0trixx protested against the war in Ukraine and was arrested. Unable to ignore the brutality and horrors of what was happening, n0trixx fled the country. She expressed all her pain in her lyrics and music. n0trixx is a passionate mental health advocate and encourages her fans to speak out about their problems and seek help for the issues that they face. She has first-hand knowledge of how fragile the human psyche can be, and she uses that knowledge to help others.
