Skiddle: The UK's biggest guide to festivals

There's so many amazing festivals out there but it can be difficult to work out which festivals you're going to attend. There's so many things to take into consideration - the location of the festival, the size of the festival, the genre of music, whether it's family friendly and the type of facilities onsite.

Skiddle's new Festivals Finder is here to make the process that bit easier. Simply use the Festivals Finder's unique festival search, which include options allowing you to search for festivals based on filters such as location; month; genres; type; size; accommodation; amenities and even the artists you've liked on Facebook!

Mercury's Well are a three piece progressive death metal band from Reading, UK, formed in 2011 by Simon Davies (guitar, vocals), Liam Fogarty (drums) and Kyle Townsend (bass). However, in 2013, Kyle left to pursue other musical interests and was replaced by James Tiffin (bass, backing vocals)

The band's name originates from “Iron John” by Robert Bly, which references the fountain of the Roman god, Mercury, and links to alchemical practice.

The themes of alchemy persist through the title track of their self-titled album; among other more introspective and metaphorical lyrics. Tonally, much darker than the previous release, “the Way of Ashes” (2015), and presents a more refined sound, with heavier sensibilities. The tracks vary conceptually, dealing subjects such as love and loss, nihilism, destructive anger and suicidal thought.

The album artwork was designed by Simon who utilises bright colours to juxtapose the largely bleak tone of the music, an ethos that is carried through to the live performances of the band.
