On Aug 3rd 2013 Solitary where invited to play the Headbangers Balls gig in Manchester supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust. The gig, headlined by thrash favorites Xentrix, proved once again that metal is still alive and kicking with a blistering show of pure music talent.

Others on the bill included Reign of Fury and Def-con One.

Planetmosh said “Preston thrashers Solitary were Formed in 1994 and they delivered 30 minutes of precision thrash metal with an inspired cover version of Into The Pit by Testament alongside numbers from their Requiem album. They got the 1st pit action of the night and my set highlight was the thrashtastic, “Keep Your Enemies Closer”.
