"From the eerie, windswept fields of Norfolk, where the low sky bruises black,
A hellbound howl rolls inland, on a slow, sonic attack,
By the legend of Black Shuck, fanged shadow of the fen,
The amps ignite, the earth heaves low,
As his Doomfest begins!!
Riffs fall heavy as gravestones, tuned low, dragging time,
Strings hum with ancient malice, every note a crime,
Leafsmoke coils thick, like ghosts of valve-born fire,
Demonhound chords crawl through the crowd,
Slow, loud and dire.
Lament our Doom, in purest form, no hate, no fear, no lies,
Just monolithic axes, and hymns for blackened skies,
So heed the call, you Riff-sworn faithfull,
Feel the Hounds breath crest,
Norwich trembles under heavy tone at
Demonhound Doomfest!
A Celebration of all things Stoner, Doom and Sludge.
A Riff Ritual to Honor the spirit of Black Shuck, Norfolks Howling Hellhound of Folklore,
All are welcome to this unholy gathering, leave your petty resentments at the door,
we are all equal under the Altar of the Riff!
Come in Peace all ye Riffborn masses, tremble under the weight of the mightiest grooves our lands have to offer.
All will be spellbound at Demonhound Doomfest 2026!!!!
