FURTHER UPDATE TO HELSTAR SHOW – KAINE TO PERFORM AS 5-PIECE

Kaine Announces Unique Line-up for Tonight’s Helstar Support Show at The Black Heart

Kaine has shared a heartwarming and exciting update ahead of their support slot for US metal legends Helstar tonight at The Black Heart in Camden. Fans heading to the venue are in for a truly exclusive performance, following some fantastic family news.

Excellent News for the Kaine Family

The band announced today that frontman Rage Sadler’s daughter has made a full recovery following a recent stint in the hospital. While this is the best possible outcome, Sadler is understandably exhausted. Because of this, the band is moving forward with a very special, one-off configuration for tonight’s gig.

Saxon Davids—who originally stepped in to cover vocals and guitar in Sadler’s absence—will continue to front Kaine for the evening. However, with his daughter’s health vastly improved, Sadler will now be joining his bandmates on stage to perform exclusively as a guitarist for the set.

A Fresh Take on the Setlist

Davids is making the journey all the way down from the North West to ensure the show goes on. The band has been rehearsing the material remotely with him, and the results promise to be heavy-hitting.

“We’re excited to say he is not only performing them expertly but has given the set his own style and flair that we know long-time followers of Kaine will enjoy,” the band shared in their official statement.This rare dynamic, with Davids handling lead vocals and Sadler focusing purely on his fretwork, offers a totally unique live presentation that fans likely won’t see again.

Show Details

The band is urging the metal community to show up early and give Davids a massive welcome to reward his hard work and dedication to making tonight happen. You can order tickets here.
