DAY 1 - Thursday 28th May - slot available to play if you're fast enough, if not timeslots are as:
FOETAL JUICE 8:30-9:30
foetaljuice.bandcamp.com
UK death metal festival annihilators. Full on deathgrind assault, plus a good sense of humour. Expect total brutality, death riffs, blastbeats, growls and long-form grindy madness. I've seen them at two death festivals and they were brutal at both.
INFECTED DEAD 7:15-8:00
infecteddead.bandcamp.com/music
I just can't get enough of that progressive bass, widdly tremolo riffing, tight asf drums and blasts, and multitalented vocal range of Kentish eldritch tech death titans.
DAY 2 - Friday 29th May
VOLIÈRE 9:00-9:45?
Belgium slam with various brutal death metal and grind bits, coming with that drum machine over the topness. Bird themed, which could only mean massive screeches and funny costumes. 45 min set.
CRNA 8:25-8:50
Brand new London hardcore band. Stompy and heavy and angry. EP out on the day of the show I think!
GRUNK 7:45-8:10
getthegrunkout.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-stupidity-vortex-2
Rugby's answer to absurdism grindcore. Lots of vocals and lots of switch ups. Really chaotic, fast and lots of lovely different noises.
CONVULSION 7:00-7:25
convulsiongxc.bandcamp.com/album/you-falter-you-fail-you-fall
SEHC heavy hitters with noisy guitar and gutturals. Mix of fast, hardcore breakdowns and super gross sludge moments for violent dancing.
WOMBSTONE 6:15-6:40
wombstone.bandcamp.com/album/partial-suicide
wombstone.bandcamp.com/album/martial-homicide
SEHC answer to absurdism grindcore. Slap bass, wah pedal guitar, jazz drums, big man vocals. Has breakdowns but only if you're quick enough to realise to dance. Has that one moshable rap song.
ANGRYGYNOPHILES 5:35-6:00
agpqueercore.bandcamp.com

PREY 9:50-end

Hardcore powerviolence from various areas of the UK, real fast and real heavy. Trading vocals and classic tempo switch ups, all kinds of punk and hardcore creativity. Just awesome hardcore.
CHARRED ATLAS 9:15-9:35
charred-atlas.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-pick-a-fight-with-a-planet
Midlands/northern legends of fastcore and powerviolence, higher range riffs and some of the fastest songs ever, with plenty of sick added flairs and fills and super precise short stop/start gaps.
POTHOLE 8:40-9:00
flhcc.bandcamp.com
Lincoln future hall of famers continuing to make sick powerviolence, splits with fast friends, repping FLHC and keeping it fast and DIY in their own ends too. Real OG punk and PV players, not one to miss.
THUMBSUCKER 8:05-8:25
