UK Deathfest

FINAL1_700.jpg



Following the massive success of the online poll for a band to win the final slot at the inaugural DEATHFEST organisers are delighted to announce that both Neuroma and Dragged Into Sunlight have been added to the bill.

The successful Liverpool bands claimed over 50 per cent of the public vote between them after more than 400 extreme metal fans voted.

Festival organiser Gavin McInally said: "After the massive amount of graft both bands and their fans had put in to make it a clear two-horse race, we couldn't just ditch one, so both will now take the stage in less than three weeks' time."

Deathfest will take place on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 3, at Leeds University Union.

The full Deathfest lineup is: VADER, REPULSION, ORIGIN, AKERCOCKE, BENEDICTION, DESECRATION, LENG TCH'E, LAZARUS BLACKSTAR, THE ROTTED, DAM, BLACK SUN, RETH, INFECTED DISARRAY, INGESTED, NEUROMA, DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT and ESCLAVAGE.

Tickets are only £19.50 and are available from http://www.leedstickets.com/ , http://www.ticketline.co.uk/ and http://www.seetickets.co.uk/
Also on sale in Leeds at stores including Crash and Jumbo.

THE first 500 fans through the doors at the inaugural DEATHFEST in Leeds on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 3, will get their hands on an exclusive 'UK DEATHFEAST' CD featuring rare and unreleased recordings from the likes of Warhammer, Benediction, Man Must Die, Brujeria and Dam and a free 17 page Deathfest programme - stuffed with interviews, stage times and a complete rundown of the day's bands from Repulsion to Neuroma.

The must-have freebies - put together by the masterminds at Terrorizer magazine - are a thanks from the organisers and sponsors to the fans who have supported the UK's biggest extreme metal event in its first year.

And it's fitting that those who are there for doors opening at 1pm to support homegrown rising death metal talent in the shape of Neuroma, Esclavage and Ingested will be the ones walking off with 20 aural slabs of death and grind on the UK DEATHFEAST compilation.

Terrorizer's John Biscomb said: "UK Deathfeast is twenty tracks of brutal British death metal and grindcore designed to get people excited about music again, have them feel the way they felt staying up ‘til silly o’clock to catch a radio show or hearing mix-tape for the first time.

"Inspired by Deathfest’s grouping of awesome, exclusive big names and true underground operators, the limited compilation mixes incredible exclusives from some of the country’s death metal pioneers with some of the young bands who genuinely tear our faces off.

"UK Deathfeast will be pressed into the clammy, unsuspecting hands of the first 500 people through the doors and those 500 people will be clutching a piece of musical history!"




Tracklisting:

1. WARHAMMER 'Carnal Lust' - featuring a teenage Shane Embury from Napalm Death along with members of Unseen Terror and Heresy. Warhammer are arguably the UK’s first ever death metal band and this is the first time this song has seen any sort of CD release, previously existing only as an 1985 demo cassette!

2. BENEDICTION 'Dissembler' - Japan-only bonus track from their most recent album.

3. MAN MUST DIE 'Kill It, Skin It, Wear It' - exclusive track from their
unreleased second album.

4. EXTREME NOISE TERROR 'Divide And Rule'

5. BRUJERIA 'No Acceptan Imataciones' - exclusive rough mix from their forthcoming album, their first in nine years. It might be a stretch to consider them British, but given they feature Carcass’ Jeff Walker and Napalm Death’s Shane Embury joint citizenship is probably in order.

6. DAM 'A Wound That Never Heals (demo)' - demo song from their last album with vocals recorded especially for this release.

7. NEUROMA 'Purple Reign'

8. DEAD BEYOND BURIED 'Black Death'

9. FLAYED DISCIPLE 'Drawn Viscera'

10. DYSCARNATE 'Fuelling The Ignorance'

11. DETRIMENTUM 'Pestilence Shared With The Worms'

12. INGESTED 'Contorted Perception (rough mix)'

13. TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED 'The Dead World'

14. AGHAST 'Bang To Rights'

15. PORKFARM 'Torn Apart'

16. DAWN OF CHAOS 'Worms'

17. ROSEWEST 'Get Off Your Horse And Drink Your Milk'

18. BASEMENT TORTURE KILLINGS 'The Outback Murders'

19. THE AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN 'Suck Me Banger / Piss Town'

20. CEREBRAL BORE 'Entombed In Butchered Bodies'
