Photo credit: Jon Sugden In September 2025, Essex’s resident death metallers BEYOND EXTINCTION released their cataclysmically anthropic debut album “Where They Gather”, which was crowned #46 in Metal Hammer’s Top 50 Albums of 2025 and labelled as “a deathcore record so feral and untamed it has the potential to become a scene standout.” Saturday 7th March will be your chance to put your end-of-the-world plans into action, as BEYOND EXTINCTION team up with Camden’s Raven Records for an apocalyptic pop-up pre-show event before the deathcore prodigies play through their debut album in full for one night only in London’s Black Heart. The pop-up event is free entry and works on a first-come-first-served basis, and will include merch signings, limited edition prints, exclusive items, an album artwork gallery, a Q+A session, and a collectors holographic laminate available only to the first 15 people to arrive at the store. Vocalist Jasper Harmer expands on this special occasion: “With a huge spread of things on offer, we can’t wait to share an afternoon with you. We’ll be doing signings throughout, so bring your own CD/Vinyl or buy one at Raven Records on the day, with a stock of the original pressings for sale. We’ll also have some limited edition prints, laminates and more available – a separate and exclusive spread of merch items at the show that evening. Oh – and first 15 people to arrive get a collectors holographic laminate for free – never made again. Downstairs there’ll be a gallery-style display of a variety of artwork prints along with the full album wide piece presented in its entirety. Artist of all of the artwork related to the album and our friend – Max Marshall – will be there on the day as well with an opportunity to speak to him about his creative process. From 3pm a Q+A will begin, allowing for some questions to be put to us and stories about the journey in creating the album to be told. Best of all – it’s FREE ENTRY and we’ve collaborated with one of the most unique record stores in London. We can’t wait to celebrate Where They Gather in this special setting before our headline show.” Their headline Black Heart show will be your only opportunity to witness “Where They Gather” as it was fully intended – a concept record best experienced from front to back, immersing yourself in the dystopic wasteland of the final settlement on Earth. With support coming from sludgy extreme metallers Mastiff and industrial post-hardcore outfit Tribe Of Ghosts to complete the night, you won’t want to miss this “I was there!” moment.
