This isn’t a gig, it’s an 8 band hulking colossus of crushing riffage and guttural bellows. The highlight’s surely the unbeatably brutal grind of hardcore-sludge pack-leaders Mastiff, but doomsday death crust deviants Deathfiend aren’t far behind, nor’s Tumanduumband with their glacial-slow satanic dirges. A relentless cvlt-fest FFO: Full of Hell, Primitive Man, Godflesh, Sunn O))), Celtic Frost, Obituary.
