UK Death Dealers returns to The Fighting Cocks, Kingston for the official EP launch of VEIL OF REVELATIONS, the new release from London melo-chaotic death metal force Worship The Sacrifice. This show marks the first full live outing of the EP, a release that sharpens the band’s melodic edge without sacrificing their signature chaos, weight, and intensity. Expect a focused, high-impact set built around the new material, backed by the ferocity they’ve become known for on stages across the UK. Headlining the night are LIES!

Known for raw energy, crushing riffs, and a no-nonsense live presence, this is a rare chance to catch them on UK soil. Support comes from Scaphist, delivering Diamond Isle deathcore filth, and Deathscripted, opening the night with sharp, modern death metal from the London underground. A stacked lineup, international guests, and a full EP launch set in one of London’s most respected grassroots venues. Pure extreme metal at it’s finest! Presented by The Fighting Cocks Bar and Venue. This is an 18+ event
