We are proud to announce that we have the mighty Blaze Bayley headlining for us at this year's Angel Of Rage in September at Worcester's most notorious and established music venue, the Marrs Bar.

This will be the second live Heavy Metal music event dedicated to the memory of Anj Avraam, a talented musician, artist, writer and pioneer of the local alternative music scene here in Worcester UK.

Anj was actively involved in the local music scene from the early 90s, right through to the time of his passing in 2021 and was known back in the day as the lead singer of the local thrash band X-10-8 and then later the nu metal band Wisefleaf. He was also the co-front man in the Hip Hop / cross-genre band Case Closed.

Anj also used to do mentor work at local youth centres, as well as helping other musicians to record their music. He was also well known for hosting a popular open mic night at Vue Bar in Worcester throughout the 2010s.

Sadly Anj passed away suddenly after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021 at the age of just 42. His time was cut short despite having so much more left to give creatively. And tragically this type of story is not at all uncommon when it comes to this particular cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to taking on this injustice using every possible means. They're supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future. Help them to make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need.

We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.

Anj was a big inspiration to everyone around him and extremely loved by those who knew him, and will always be remembered as an energetic, talented, unique person who managed to cram so much into such a short life.

Please help us to immortalise the memory of this amazing person who inspired and helped so many, by spreading the word about our event and if you can, by making whatever donation you can to our Just Giving page to support Pancreatic Cancer UK and the incredible work they are doing.

This will truly be a night of musical mayhem, and all for an amazing cause! We plan to raise £2000 this year, doubling last years target. And all you need to do to support the cause is come out and have a great time, as 50% of the funds from all tickets sold will be going straight to Pancreatic Cancer UK to support the amazing work they do. 💜

Tickets will go on sale soon, so keep your eyes peeled for the link!
