Novelists bring their djent and progressive metal sound to Academy 3 in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2026, headlining a tightly curated heavy gig. Drawing on material from releases such as the album "CODA" and the "Okapi" EP, the French band lead a bill steeped in metalcore and technical groove. Fellow French outfit Tss, also known as The Sunday Sadness, add atmospheric alternative metal in support. Berlin collective Vianova round out the line-up, tying djent and metalcore together with their own progressive edge, making Academy 3 a focal point for forward-leaning heavy music on this date.
